Preparing to Meet Jesus, August 31
一同在天上-第245章
“小子们哪,你们要住在主里面。这样,祂若显现,我们就可以坦然无惧;当祂来的时候,在祂面前也不至于惭愧”(约壹2:28)。{HP250.1}[1]

And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.1 John 2:28.{HP 250.1}[1]

我们唯有藉着在此世认识上帝,才能预备在祂降临之时迎接祂。……基督藉祂的教训和大能的作为完全彰显了上帝。这位基督藉着蒙启示的传道者宣称:“从来没有人看见上帝;只有在父怀里的独生子将祂表明出来”(约1:18)。“除了父,没有人知道子;除了子和子所愿意指示的,没有人知道父”(太11:27)。这些话表明研究基督品格的重要性。我们唯有藉着认识基督才能认识上帝。{HP250.2}[2]

Only by knowing God here can we prepare to meet Him at His coming.... In His lessons and His mighty works Christ is a perfect revelation of God. This Christ declares through the inspired evangelist. “No man hath seen God at any time,” He says; “the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18). “No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.” These words show the importance of studying Christ’s character. Only by knowing Christ can we know God.{HP 250.2}[2]

基督作为我们的代表站在最高处。祂担任上帝的使者来到世上时,手持上帝的救恩。全人类都交给了祂,因为上帝本性一切的丰盛都住在祂里面。……基督充分表显了天父,连法利赛人派来捉拿祂的人也被祂的仪容所感服。……当他们看见围绕祂的上帝荣耀柔和之光,听见祂口中所说的恩言时,他们就爱祂。……及至法利赛人问他们:“你们为什么没有带祂来呢?”他们就回答说:“从来没有象祂这样说话的”(约7:45-46)。{HP250.3}[3]

As our representative, Christ stands on the highest possible ground. When He came to the world as God’s messenger, He held the salvation of God in His hand. All mankind was delivered to Him, for in Him was the fullness of the Godhead.... So fully did Christ reveal the Father that the messengers sent by the Pharisees to take Him were charmed by His presence.... As they beheld the soft light of the glory of God that enshrouded His person, as they heard the gracious words that fell from His lips, they loved Him. And when ... they were asked by the Pharisees, “Why have ye not brought him?” they answered, “Never man spake like this man” (John 7:45, 46).{HP 250.3}[3]

我们仰望基督,就会变成祂的形像,预备好在祂显现时迎接祂。现在正是为我们主的降临作准备的时候。准备好迎接祂,不是刹那间可以成就的。要为那严肃的场面作准备,就必须儆醒等待,再加上认真工作。这两者的结合使我们在基督里得以完全。积极活动和敬虔献身必须结合起来,就象人性与神性在基督身上结合一般。如此,上帝的儿女就将荣耀归给祂。在人生忙碌的场面中,必听见他们的声音讲说鼓舞、盼望和信心的话。意志和情感都要献给基督。他们就这样预备迎接他们的主。在祂降临的时候,他们必快乐地说:“看哪,这是我们的上帝;我们素来等候祂,祂必拯救我们”(赛25:9)。{HP250.4}[4]

As we behold Christ we shall be changed into His image and made fit to meet Him at His coming. Now is the time to prepare for the coming of our Lord. Readiness to meet Him cannot be attained in a moment’s time. Preparatory to that solemn scene there must be vigilant waiting combined with earnest work. The union of these two makes us complete in Christ. The active and devotional must be combined as were the human and divine in Christ. So God’s children glorify Him. Amid the busy scenes of life their voices will be heard speaking words of encouragement, hope, and faith. The will and the affections will be consecrated to Christ. Thus they prepare to meet their Lord; and when He comes, they will say, with joy: “This is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us.”48{HP 250.4}[4]
