主必快来-第29章
“主人来了,看见仆人警醒,那仆人就有福了。我实在告诉你们:主人必叫他们坐席,自己束上带,进前伺候他们”(路12:37)。
主必快来-第29章
Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. Luke 12:37. {Mar 36.1}
主必快来-第29章
上帝一向把快要临到的刑罚警告世人。那些相信当时的信息并依照他们的信心而顺从祂诫命的人,逃脱了那降在背逆不信之人头上的刑罚。主“耶和华对挪亚说:你和你的全家都要进入方舟,因为在这世代中,我见你在我面前是义人”(创7:1)。挪亚顺从了,就得了救。又有警告传给罗得说:“你们起来离开这地方,因为耶和华要毁灭这城”(创19:14)。罗得置身于天使的保护之下,也就蒙了拯救。古时,基督的门徒也如此得到耶路撒冷毁灭的警告。那些注意即将临来之毁灭的兆头而从城中逃跑的人,都没有与那城同归于尽。我们现在也得到关于基督第二次降临和临到世人身上之毁灭的警告。凡注意这警告的人也必得救。{Mar 36.1}
主必快来-第29章
God has always given men warning of coming judgments. Those who had faith in His message for their time, and who acted out their faith, in obedience to His commandments, escaped the judgments that fell upon the disobedient and unbelieving. The word came to Noah, “Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen righteous before me.” Noah obeyed and was saved. The message came to Lot, “Up, get you out of this place; for the Lord will destroy this city.” Genesis 7:1; 19:14. Lot placed himself under the guardianship of the heavenly messengers, and was saved. So Christ’s disciples were given warning of the destruction of Jerusalem. Those who watched for the sign of the coming ruin, and fled from the city, escaped the destruction. So now we are given warning of Christ’s second coming and of the destruction to fall upon the world. Those who heed the warning will be saved. {Mar 36.2}

因为我们不知道祂降临的确定时辰,所以主吩咐我们要儆醒。“主人来了,看见仆人儆醒。那仆人就有福了”(路12:37)。那些儆醒等侯主来的人,并不是在闲懒地等候。人对于基督降临的企望应当使人敬畏上帝,惧怕祂加于罪恶的刑罚,并使他们感觉到拒绝祂恩典的罪是何等的大。那些儆醒等侯主来的人,必要顺从真理,使自己的心灵得以纯洁。他们必要把慎密的戒备和热诚的工作配合起来。因为他们知道主已经在门前了,所以他们的热心就激发他们与众天使合作,来从事救灵的工作。这等人就是忠心有见识的仆人,管理主人的家,“按时分粮给他们”(路12:42)。他们在宣扬那特别适合现时代的真理。以诺、挪亚、亚伯拉罕和摩西等人怎样宣布当时代的真理。照样,现今基督的仆人,也必为他们的世代发出特别的警告。(DA 634)Mar 36.2}
主必快来-第29章
Because we know not the exact time of His coming, we are commanded to watch. “Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching.” Luke 12:37. Those who watch for the Lord’s coming are not waiting in idle expectancy. The expectation of Christ’s coming is to make men fear the Lord, and fear His judgments upon transgression. It is to awaken them to the great sin of rejecting His offers of mercy. Those who are watching for the Lord are purifying their souls by obedience to the truth. With vigilant watching they combine earnest working. Because they know that the Lord is at the door, their zeal is quickened to co-operate with the divine intelligences in working for the salvation of souls. These are the faithful and wise servants who give to the Lord’s household “their portion of meat in due season.” Luke 12:42. They are declaring the truth that is now specially applicable. As Enoch, Noah, Abraham, and Moses each declared the truth for his time, so will Christ’s servants now give the special warning for their generation.43 {Mar 36.3}
