“你这小信的人哪,为什么疑惑呢”(太14:31)?{HB35.1}[1]
我们回天家-第21章
O you of little faith, why did you doubt?—Matthew 14:31.{HB 35.1}[1]
我们回天家-第21章
上帝的道像祂的品性一样,包含着有限的心智所永远无法充分明白的奥秘。圣经所论罪恶进入世界,基督道成肉身,重生,复活和其他许多问题,是人所无法解释或测透的奥秘。但是我们没有理由因不能明白上帝旨意的奥秘,而怀疑上帝的道。在自然界中,我们一直被无法理解的奥秘所包围,连最小的生物也能给最聪明的哲学家提出他们所无法解释的问题。到处都有所测不透的奇迹。既然如此,我们在灵界发现了无法测透的奥秘,又有什么奇怪呢?..{HB35.2}[2]
我们回天家-第21章
The Word of God, like the character of its divine Author, presents mysteries that can never be fully comprehended by finite beings. The entrance of sin into the world, the incarnation of Christ, regeneration, the resurrection, and many other subjects presented in the Bible, are mysteries too deep for the human mind to explain, or even fully to comprehend. But we have no reason to doubt God’s Word because we cannot understand the mysteries of His providence. In the natural world we are constantly surrounded with mysteries that we cannot fathom. The very humblest forms of life present a problem that the wisest of philosophers is powerless to explain. Everywhere are wonders beyond our ken. Should we then be surprised to find that in the spiritual world also there are mysteries that we cannot fathom? . . .{HB 35.2}[2]

圣经中的难题曾被怀疑派作为反对圣经的根据。但这些难题正是圣经为所上帝默示的有力证据。如果圣经中关于上帝的论述,能被我们轻易理解,如果上帝的伟大和威严,能被我们有限的心智所测透,圣经就不再具有其神圣权威的确凿证据了。圣经中伟大深奥的话题,应当使我们确信它是上帝的道。{HB35.3}[3]
我们回天家-第21章
The difficulties of Scripture have been urged by skeptics as an argument against the Bible; but so far from this, they constitute a strong evidence of its divine inspiration. If it contained no account of God but that which we could easily comprehend; if His greatness and majesty could be grasped by finite minds, then the Bible would not bear the unmistakable credentials of divine authority. The very grandeur and mystery of the themes presented should inspire faith in it as the Word of God.{HB 35.3}[3]
我们回天家-第21章
圣经以简明的话语阐述了真理,完全适应人心的需求。它使最有学问的人惊叹感佩,也能使卑微无学问的人认识得救之道。然而这些语言简明的真理,却包含着非常高深,非常难测,无比深奥,人类所无法理解的题目。我们之所以能接受它,是因为它出于上帝。救赎的计划已向我们启明。人人都可以明白悔改归向上帝,信靠主耶稣基督所当采取的步骤,按上帝所指定的方法得救。然而在这些明显易懂的真理之下,仍隐藏着上帝荣光的奥秘。这些奥秘虽然越过心智的限度,仍然能激发起诚心寻求真理之人的崇敬和信心。他越查考圣经,就越深信它是永生上帝的道。于是人的理性就折服在上帝启示的尊严之前。(《拾级就主》106-108页){HB35.4}[4]
我们回天家-第21章
The Bible unfolds truth with a simplicity and a perfect adaptation to the needs and longings of the human heart, that has astonished and charmed the most highly cultivated minds, while it enables the humblest and uncultured to discern the way of salvation. And yet these simply stated truths lay hold upon subjects so elevated, so far-reaching, so infinitely beyond the power of human comprehension, that we can accept them only because God has declared them. Thus the plan of redemption is laid open to us, so that every soul may see the steps to take in repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ, in order to be saved in God’s appointed way; yet beneath these truths, so easily understood, lie mysteries that are the hiding of His glory— mysteries that overpower the mind in its research, yet inspire the sincere seeker for truth with reverence and faith. The more we search the Bible, the deeper is the conviction that it is the Word of the living God, and human reason bows before the majesty of divine revelation.—Steps to Christ, 106-108.{HB 35.4}[4]
