The Gold of Christian Character, June 15
一同在天上-第168章
“美名胜过大财,恩宠强如金银”(箴22:1)。{HP173.1}[1]
一同在天上-第168章
A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.Proverbs 22:1.{HP 173.1}[1]
一同在天上-第168章
世人也许渴望出名,渴望享有盛名。一些人的最高理想是拥有地产房屋和大量金钱,成为世俗标准下的大人物。他们希望能达到可以居高临下鄙视穷人的位置。这样的人都是在沙土上建造。他们的房屋必突然倒塌。优越的地位不是真正的伟大。凡不能增进心灵价值的东西,本身并无实际价值。唯一值得争取的,是上天眼中心灵的伟大。你也许永远不理解你所从事之工真正崇高的性质。唯一能衡量你自己生命价值的,乃是主生命的价值。这生命曾经舍弃为要拯救凡愿意接受的人。{HP173.2}[2]
一同在天上-第168章
Men may aspire to renown. They may desire to possess a great name. With some the possession of houses and lands and plenty of money, that which will make them great according to the measure of the world, is the height of their ambition. They desire to reach the place where they can look down with a sense of superiority upon those who are poor. All such are building on the sand, and their house will fall suddenly. Superiority of position is not true greatness. That which does not increase the value of the soul is of no real value in itself. That which alone is worth obtaining is greatness of soul in the sight of Heaven. The true and exalted nature of your work you may never know. The value of your own being you can only measure by the value of that Life given to save all who will receive it.{HP 173.2}[2]
一同在天上-第168章
每一个人在与基督同工,从事基督所从事的工作,以基督的义充满世界,负起至高者的使命时,必对于自己的价值有所估量。……交给门徒的使命,也交给凡与基督联合的人。他们为了享受看见原先离开基督即将灭亡之人得救的喜乐,甘愿作出任何牺牲。……{HP173.3}[3]
一同在天上-第168章
Every man will have some estimate of his own worth when he becomes a laborer together with Christ, doing the work that Christ did, filling the world with Christ’s righteousness, bearing a commission from the Most High.... The commission given to the disciples is given to all who are connected with Christ. They are to make any and every sacrifice for the joy of seeing souls saved who are perishing out of Christ....{HP 173.3}[3]
一同在天上-第168章
世人━━不拘老幼贫富所能享有最高的尊荣,乃是获准救援受压制的人,安慰意志薄弱的人。世界充满了痛苦。要去将福音传给贫穷的人,医治有病的人。这是与福音信息相关的工作。“穷人有福音传给他们”(太11:5)。与上帝同工的人要将耶稣的爱充满自己在世上所生活的地方。……心里所存的基督之爱表达在行为之中。对基督的爱若冷淡了,则对基督所代死之人的爱也必消退。……{HP173.4}[4]
一同在天上-第168章
The highest honor that can be conferred upon human beings, be they young or old, rich or poor, is to be permitted to lift up the oppressed, to comfort the feeble-minded. The world is full of suffering. Go, and preach the gospel to the poor; heal the sick. This is the work to be connected with the gospel message. “The poor have the gospel preached to them” (Matthew 11:5). Colaborers with God are to fill the space they occupy in the world with the love of Jesus.... The love of Christ in the heart is expressed in the actions. If love for Christ is dull the love for those for whom Christ died will degenerate....{HP 173.4}[4]

真实的信心和爱心乃是真正的财富。它们使品格在基督里得以完全。我们如果有更多的信心,就是单纯地依赖耶稣的信心,就必有爱心,即纯洁的爱心。这样的爱心乃是基督化品格的精金。{HP173.5}[5]
一同在天上-第168章
True riches are genuine faith and genuine love. These make the character complete in Christ. If there were more faith, simple, trusting faith in Jesus, there would be love, pure love, which is the gold of Christian character.24{HP 173.5}[5]
