Sitting at the Feet of the Mater Teacher
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.2 Corinthians 4:17.{SD 74.1}[1]
上帝的儿女-第69章
主虽然没有应许祂的子民免受一切的试炼,但祂却应许赐下更加美好的东西。祂说「你的日子如何,你的力量也必如何。」……如果你蒙召为祂的缘故经过火炉,耶稣必在你的身旁,就像当日祂在巴比伦与那三位忠心的人同在一样。凡爱他们救赎主的人,每当有机会与祂同受凌辱与非难时,就必欢喜快乐。他们的爱主之心,使他们为祂而受的痛苦都变成甘甜的了。{SD74.2}[2]
上帝的儿女-第69章
While the Lord has not promised His people exemption from trials, He has promised that which is far better. He has said, “As thy days, so shall thy strength be.” ... If you are called to go through the fiery furnace for His sake, Jesus will be by your side, even as He was with the faithful three in Babylon. Those who love their Redeemer will rejoice at every opportunity of sharing with Him humiliation and reproach. The love they bear their Lord, makes suffering for His sake sweet.{SD 74.2}[2]

历代以来,撒但常逼迫上帝的子民。他折磨他们,置他们于死地,但他们却在死亡中成为胜利者。他们以坚定不移的信心,为那位比撒但更有能力的主作了见证。撒但固然可以虐待他们,杀害他们的身体,但不能伤害那与基督一同藏在上帝里面的生命。他虽能将他们禁闭在监狱的高墙之内,却无法束缚他们的心灵。他们能透过眼前的黑暗看到那极大的荣耀,说:「我想现在的苦楚,若比将来要显于我们的荣耀,就不足介意了。」……{SD74.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第69章
In all ages Satan has persecuted the people of God. He has tortured them and put them to death; but in dying they became conquerors. They revealed in their steadfast faith a mightier One than Satan. Satan could torture and kill the body, but he could not touch the life that was hid with Christ in God. He could incarcerate in prison walls, but he could not bind the spirit. They could look beyond the gloom to the glory, saying: “I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” ...{SD 74.3}[3]
上帝的儿女-第69章
受世人所憎恨迫害的上帝教会,乃是在基督的学校里接受教育和训练。他们在世上行走窄路,在苦难的炉中炼净,在跟从基督的道路中经历艰苦的斗争,忍受克己的生活,经受惨痛的失望。但痛苦的经历教他们认识到罪恶的性质及其所造成的祸害,因而使他们憎恨罪恶。他们既与基督一同受苦,就必与祂一同得荣耀。先知在神圣的异象中看到了上帝子民的胜利。他说:「我看见彷佛有玻璃海,其中有火掺杂;又看见那些胜了……的人,都站在玻璃海上,拿着上帝的琴;唱上帝仆人摩西的歌和羔羊的歌」。{SD74.4}[4]
上帝的儿女-第69章
The church of God, hated and persecuted by the world, are educated and disciplined in the school of Christ. They walk in narrow paths on earth; they are purified in the furnace of affliction. They follow Christ through sore conflicts; they endure self-denial, and experience bitter disappointments; but their painful experience teaches them the guilt and woe of sin, and they look upon it with abhorrence. Being partakers of Christ’s sufferings, they are destined to be partakers of His glory. In holy vision the prophet saw the triumph of the people of God. He says: “I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire; and them that had gotten the victory ... stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb.”19{SD 74.4}[4]
