我们回天家-第253章
“你们作儿女的,要在主里听从父母,这是理所当然的”(弗6:1)。{HB277.1}[1]

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.—Ephesians 6:1.{HB 277.1}[1]

教育儿女尊敬父母的最好办法就是给他们机会看见父亲仁慈地关爱母亲,母亲尊敬和敬重父亲。孩子们藉着看到双亲之间的爱,才蒙引导遵守第五条诫命,听从这个命令:“你们作儿女的,要在主里听从父母,这是理所当然的。要孝敬父母,使你得福,在世长寿。这是第一条带应许的诫命”(弗6:1-3)。{HB277.2}[2]

The best way to educate children to respect their father and mother, is to give them the opportunity of seeing the father offering kindly attentions to the mother, and the mother rendering respect and reverence to the father. It is by beholding love in their parents, that children are led to obey the fifth commandment and to heed the injunction, “Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honor thy father and thy mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the earth.”{HB 277.2}[2]

孩子的父母如果不信,父母的吩咐如果与基督的要求相抵触,他们虽然会有痛苦,仍当顺从上帝,把后果交给祂。上帝已清楚地吩咐儿女有尊重父母的义务。在有能力和机会的时候,要仁慈地关怀他们的父母。这条给儿女的诫命放在我们对同胞义务的六条命令之首。但虽然儿女奉命要顺服父母,但父母也奉命要凭智慧运用他们的权威。保罗写道:“你们作父亲的,不要惹儿女的气,只要照着主的教训和警戒养育他们”(弗6:4)。应当极其小心,免得对待儿女的方式激起固执、违抗和反叛。许多父母由于自己缺乏自制,就激起了儿女心中最恶劣的情欲。他们生气地纠正儿女,使他们更加坚定地行恶,并抱着狂妄的精神,而不是用正确的的方法影响他们。他们用武断的精神把他们的儿女扔在撒但的影响之下,而不是温柔仁慈地把他们从撒但的网罗中拉出来。不幸的是许多自称为基督徒的父母并没有归正。基督也没有因信住在他们的心中。他们虽然自称跟随耶稣,却令儿女反感,因他们的暴躁和不肯宽恕的性情使儿女厌恶一切的宗教。怪不得儿女们会对父母冷漠和叛逆。但是儿女因父母不圣洁的方式而悖逆,也是不可原谅的。{HB277.3}[3]
我们回天家-第253章
When children have unbelieving parents, and their commands contradict the requirements of Christ, then, painful though it may be, they must obey God and trust the consequences with Him. The Lord has expressly enjoined the duty upon children of honoring their father and their mother. As they have opportunity and ability, they are kindly to care for their parents. This commandment to children stands at the head of the last six precepts which show our duty to others. But while children are commanded to obey their parents, parents are also instructed to exercise their authority with wisdom. Paul writes, “And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.” Great care should be exercised by parents lest they treat their children in such a way as to provoke obstinacy, disobedience, and rebellion. Parents often stir up the worst passions of the human heart, because of their lack of self-control. They correct them in a spirit of anger, and rather confirm them in their evil ways and defiant spirit, than influence them in the way of right. By their own arbitrary spirit they thrust their children under Satanic influences, instead of rescuing them from the snares of Satan by gentleness and love. How sad it is that many parents who profess to be Christians, are not converted! Christ does not abide in their hearts by faith. While professing to be followers of Jesus, they disgust their children, and, by their violent, unforgiving temper, make them averse to all religion. It is little wonder that the children become cold and rebellious toward their parents. And yet children are not excused for disobedience because of their parents’ unsanctified ways.{HB 277.3}[3]

但愿每一个自称侍奉上帝的家庭都实实在在地做好。这样,基督就会在家庭生活中被表现出来,父母和儿女就会在教会中将祂表现出来。(《评论与通讯》1892年11月15日){HB277.4}[4]

O that every family professing to be devoted to God, were so in deed and in truth! Then would Christ be represented in the home-life, and parents and children would represent Him in the church, and what happiness would exist!—Review and Herald, November 15, 1892.{HB 277.4}[4]
