“因为上帝的国就在你们心里”(路17:21)。{AG 16.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第9章
Behold, the kingdom of God is within you.Luke 17:21.{AG 16.1}[1]
奇妙的神恩-第9章
耶稣在世的时候,当局政治腐败,暴虐无道,到处都是敲诈勒索,偏狭顽固,冷酷残忍,民不聊生,怨声四起。然而救主却未致力于社会的改革。祂既不攻击本国的弊端,也不谴责国民的公敌。祂从未干预执政掌权者的权威和行政,而是以身作则,超然于世上政治之外。这并非因祂对于人类的灾祸漠不关心,实是因为补救的办法不在人为的手段与外表的措施。为求有效,须从根治人性着手,心灵必须重生。{DA 509}{AG 16.2}[2]
奇妙的神恩-第9章
The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive; on every hand were crying abuses—extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Saviour attempted no civil reforms. He attacked no national abuses, nor condemned the national enemies. He did not interfere with the authority or administration of those in power. He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments. Not because He was indifferent to the woes of men, but because the remedy did not lie in merely human and external measures. To be efficient, the cure must reach men individually, and must regenerate the heart.11{AG 16.2}[2]

有几个法利赛人来问耶稣:“上帝的国几时来到”(路17:10)?施洗约翰所传“天国近了”的信息(太3:2),曾像号筒的声音一般响彻全地,到现在已经三年多了,可是这些法利赛人一点也看不出天国成立的迹象。……{AG 16.3}[3]
奇妙的神恩-第9章
Some of the Pharisees had come to Jesus demanding “when the kingdom of God should come” (Luke 17:20). More than three years had passed since John the Baptist gave the message that like a trumpet call had sounded through the land, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 3:2). And as yet these Pharisees saw no indication of the establishment of the kingdom....{AG 16.3}[3]

耶稣回答说:“上帝的国来到,不是眼所能见的。人也不得说,看哪!在这里,看哪!在那里。因为上帝的国就在你们心里。”上帝的国是在人的心里开始的。不要东张西望地寻找属世权力的表现,作为天国来临的表征。{DA 506}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第9章
Jesus answered, “The kingdom of God cometh not with outward show [margin]: neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” The kingdom of God begins at the heart. Look not here or there for manifestations of earthly power to mark its coming.12{AG 16.4}[4]
奇妙的神恩-第9章
基督的工作,不但证明祂是弥赛亚,也显明祂的国是要用什么方式来建立的。……乃是藉着祂圣道的潜移默化,藉着祂的灵在人心中的运行,使人的心灵的与其生命之主相交。天国能力的最大彰显就是使人的本性达到基督品格的完美。……{AG 16.4}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第9章
The works of Christ not only declared Him to be the Messiah, but showed in what manner His kingdom was to be established.... It comes through the gentleness of the inspiration of His word, through the inward working of His Spirit, the fellowship of the soul with Him who is its life. The greatest manifestation of its power is seen in human nature brought to the perfection of the character of Christ....{AG 16.5}[5]
奇妙的神恩-第9章
当上帝差遣衪的儿子到世上来的时候,衪已将那永不朽坏的财宝赏赐给世人了;自有世界以来,人所拥有的财宝,若与衪所赐的财宝相比,那就一文不值了。基督怀着所储存的永恒之爱来到地上,站在人类之前,这种爱就是财宝,是我们藉着与衪相交所要领受,显示,及分授他人的。{MH36,37}{AG 16.5}[6]
奇妙的神恩-第9章
When God gave His Son to our world, He endowed human beings with imperishable riches—riches compared with which the treasured wealth of men since the world began is nothingness. Christ came to the earth and stood before the children of men with the hoarded love of eternity, and this is the treasure that, through our connection with Him, we are to receive, to reveal, and to impart.13{AG 16.6}[6]
