In the Master’s Stead, August 2
使我认识祂-第215章
“所求于管家的,是要他有忠心”(林前4:2)。{TMK220.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第215章
Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.1 Corinthians 4:2.{TMK 220.1}[1]
使我认识祂-第215章
做管家的人,要视主人的利益为自己的利益。他既担当了管家的责任,就必须处在主人的地位,照主人的意思为主人办事。主人的利害便是他的利害。管家的职位是尊严的职位,因为他的主人信任他。无论在哪一方面,他若有了自私的行动,把买卖主人货财所得的赢利转作自己的利益,便辜负了主人对他的信任。主人再也不能视他为可靠的仆人——为祂可以依赖的人。{TMK220.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第215章
A steward identifies himself with his master. His master’s interests become his. He has accepted the responsibilities of a steward and he must act in the master’s stead, doing as the master would do if he were presiding over his own goods. The position is one of dignity, in that his master trusts him. If a steward in any wise acts selfishly and turns the advantages gained in trading with his lord’s goods to his own advantage, he has perverted the trust reposed in him. The master can no longer look upon him as a servant to be trusted, one on whom he can depend.{TMK 220.2}[2]
使我认识祂-第215章
每一个基督徒都是上帝的管家,受托管理祂的财物。……凡自称基督徒的人要智慧地处理主的财物。上帝正在清点借给你的钱财和赐给你的属灵机会。你们身为管家有没有仔细清点呢?你们是否愿意检查一下自己有没有节俭地使用上帝交给你们管理的一切财物,有没有浪费主的货物,自私地支出以炫人耳目呢?但愿一切不必要的开支都被积攒为天国的财宝!(《评论与通讯》增刊1898年6月21日){TMK220.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第215章
Every Christian is a steward of God, entrusted with His goods.... Let all who claim to be Christians deal wisely with the Lord’s goods. God is making an inventory of the money lent you and the spiritual advantages given you. Will you as stewards make careful inventory? Will you examine whether you are using economically all that God has placed in your charge, or whether you are wasting the Lord’s goods by selfish outlay in order to make a display? Would that all that is spent needlessly were laid up as treasure in heaven!?2{TMK 220.3}[3]
使我认识祂-第215章
任何个人,任何家庭或任何机构的收入和财产,不论怎样丰富,都要记住自己只是管家,负责保管主的钱财而已。一切利润,一切支付,我们的时间,我们的天赋,我们的机会,都要向赐予这一切的主交账。……{TMK220.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第215章
However large the income or the possessions of any person, any family, or any institution, let all remember that they are only stewards, holding in trust the Lord’s money. All profit, all pay, our time, our talents, our opportunities, are to be accounted for to Him who gives them all....{TMK 220.4}[4]
使我认识祂-第215章
上帝必鼓励祂忠心的管家,就是那班随时准备尽量利用自己一切精力和上帝所赐天赋的人。当众人学习忠心地将上帝应得之分归还给祂的教训之时,祂就会藉着祂天意的安排能使某些人奉献大笔礼物。祂也必使其他的人有能力奉献较小的礼物。只要奉献的人专注于祂的荣耀,则大小礼物都一样蒙祂悦纳。(《评论与通讯》1912年4月18日){TMK220.5}[5]
使我认识祂-第215章
God will encourage His faithful stewards who are ready to put all their energies and God-given endowments to the very best use. As all learn the lesson of faithfully rendering to God what is His due, He through His providence will enable some to bring princely offerings. He will enable others to make smaller offerings, and the small and the large gifts are acceptable to Him if given with an eye single to His glory.3{TMK 220.5}[5]
