奇妙的神恩-第21章
自从教会的伟大元首基督升天之后,祂所拣选的使者继续推进祂在地上的工作。祂藉着这些人与世人说话,供应他们的需要。这些蒙上帝宣召、用言语和道理建立祂教会的人,负有重大的责任。他们替基督劝人与上帝和好。……{AG 28.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第21章
Since His ascension, Christ the great Head of the church, has carried forward His work in the world by chosen ambassadors, through whom He speaks to the children of men, and ministers to their needs. The position of those who have been called of God to labor in word and doctrine for the upbuilding of His church, is one of grave responsibility. In Christ’s stead they are to beseech men and women to be reconciled to God....{AG 28.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第21章
基督的传道人是交托他们照应之人的属灵监护人。他们的工作就象守望者的工作一样。古时城墙的险要之处,常有哨兵看守。他们能俯视需要防守的重要地方,在敌人临近时发出警告。全城居民的安全,有赖于他们的忠心。……{AG 28.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第21章
Christ’s ministers are the spiritual guardians of the people entrusted to their care. Their work has been likened to that of watchmen. In ancient times, sentinels were often stationed on the walls of cities, where, from points of vantage, they could overlook important points to be guarded, and give warning of the approach of an enemy. Upon their faithfulness depended the safety of all within....{AG 28.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第21章
主对每一位传道人说:“人子啊,我照样立你作以色列家守望的人。所以你要听我口中的话,替我警戒他们”(结33:7-9)。……先知的这段话,说明了那些奉命担任教会卫兵,就是上帝奥秘事管家的人所负的严肃责任。……{AG 28.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第21章
To every minister the Lord declares: “O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth, and warn them from me” ... (Ezekiel 33:7-9). These words of the prophet declare the solemn responsibility resting upon those who are appointed as guardians of the church, stewards of the mysteries of God....{AG 28.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第21章
锡安城墙上的守望者有特权在生活中亲近上帝,接受圣灵的感动,使上帝能藉着他们向罪人指明危险,并把他们领到平安之所。{GW 13-15}{AG 28.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第21章
It is the privilege of the watchmen on the walls of Zion to live so near to God, and to be so susceptible to the impressions of His Spirit, that He can work through them to tell sinners of their peril, and point them to the place of safety.37{AG 28.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第21章
一个真实传道人的心一定是充满着救灵热望的。……他为众人的灵魂“时刻儆醒,好象那将来交账的人”(来13:17)。他常注视着髑髅地的十字架,仰望那举起来的救主,倚赖祂的恩典,笃信基督为他的盾牌、力量和效能,并笃信祂一定会与他同在,直到世界的末了。这样,他就一直为上帝作工。他要向世界发出邀请和劝告,混合着上帝慈爱的保证,努力领人归向耶稣。在天上,他要被列在那些“蒙召被选有忠心的”人之中(启17:14)。{AA 371}{AG 28.6}[6]
奇妙的神恩-第21章
The heart of the true minister is filled with an intense longing to save souls.... He watches for souls as one that must give an account. With his eyes fixed on the cross of Calvary, beholding the uplifted Saviour, relying on His grace, believing that He will be with him until the end, as his shield, his strength, his efficiency, he works for God. With invitations and pleadings, mingled with the assurances of God’s love, he seeks to win souls to Jesus, and in heaven he is numbered among those who are “called, and chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).38{AG 28.6}[6]
