(日记)1896年2月21日,星期五。今天是预备日。我们迎接安息日时,一切操作宜妥当完结,不拖延到安息日。如果我们在一周之中疏忽了,没有这样预备,就得在清晨着手检点每件衣服,使我们的衣服整洁、优雅而美观,适宜出现于上帝子民聚集敬拜祂的场所。……倘若可能,应该避免开始新的交易营业,而要致力于完成那业已着手而部分完成的事务。一切有关家务的事都当预备妥当,以致毫无挂虑,而使心思准备妥当享受安息,并思念属天的事物。{TMK147.2}[2]

Friday, February 21, 1896. This day is preparation day. We would come up to the Sabbath with our work closed up in proper shape and not dragging into the Sabbath. We must commence in the morning to look after every piece of clothing if we have neglected to do this through the week, that our garments may be neat and orderly and comely to appear in the place where God’s people assemble to worship Him.... Entering upon new business should be avoided, if possible, but endeavor to close up the things already started that are half accomplished. Prepare everything connected with the household matters so that there shall be freedom from worries, and the mind be prepared to rest and to meditate upon heavenly things.{TMK 147.2}[2]

需要更缜密地检讨过去的一周。要加以复习,看看自己既是那永活的“葡萄树”的枝子,有没有从葡萄树那里吸取滋养,以致多结果子将荣耀归给上帝。若是曾有狂热的激动,若是曾讲急躁的话语,若是显示了盛怒,这一切无疑都是撒但方面的作为。当以认罪洁净心灵。趁安息日尚未来临,诚恳地将一切矫正。当各自省察自己有信心没有。我们需要时时防守自己的心灵,以免过分自夸信仰,而实际却像茂盛的无花果树,枝条满布矫饰的叶子,却不见无宝贵的果子。基督正在渴望看见和接受果子。徒有信仰表白的叶子而无果子,对于基督,正与祂所咒诅的无花果树,同样是没有价值的。……{TMK147.3}[3]

There needs to be much more close investigation of the week past. Review it and see if, as a branch of the living Vine, you have drawn nourishment from the parent Vine to bear much fruit to the glory of God. If there has been feverish excitement, if hasty words have been spoken, if passion has been revealed, these have surely been the working on Satan’s side of the question. Clear the heart by confession. Sincerely make everything right before the Sabbath. Examine your own selves, whether ye be in the faith. We need to guard our own souls constantly, lest we make a great profession but, like the flourishing fig tree spreading its branches in pretentious foliage, reveal no precious fruit. Christ is hungering to see and receive fruit. Leaves of profession without fruit are to Christ just as worthless as those of the fig tree which He cursed....{TMK 147.3}[3]

谦逊地依赖上帝,相信祂的话,而且不拘什么时候不论什么环境都信靠祂,就是在负基督的轭。基督徒使自己一切的情感欲念都顺服上帝的管理。既将一切的心意都夺回而归顺耶稣基督,就必在品格的荣美与优雅方面有健全的发展。(《文稿》1896年第62号){TMK147.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第142章
The humble dependence upon God, the faith that takes Him at His word and trusts Him at all times and under all circumstances, is the wearing of the yoke of Christ. The Christian brings all his passions under control to God. Then if the thoughts are brought into captivity to Jesus Christ, there is a healthful growth in beauty and grace of character.26{TMK 147.4}[4]
