崇高的恩召-第364章
“耶和华啊,求你叫我晓得我身之终,我的寿数几何,叫我知道我的生命不长”(诗39:4)。{OHC 369.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第364章
Lord, make me to know mine end, and the measure of my days, what it is; that I may know how frail I am.Psalm 39:4.{OHC 369.1}[1]
崇高的恩召-第364章
一年快永远过去了。……但愿我们回顾行将结束之年的记录。我们在基督徒的经验上有什么长进?我们的工程──就是我们所作的事,能否经得起主的审查?祂已按照各人的才干分派他们工作。这工程会否如草、木、禾秸般被火焚烧,毫无存在的价值吗?或者能经得起烈火的考验吗?……{OHC 369.2}[2]
崇高的恩召-第364章
Another year has almost passed into eternity.... Let us review the record of the year that so soon will be past. What advancement have we made in Christian experience? Our work—have we so done it that it will bear the inspection of the Master, who has given to every man work according to his several ability? Will it be consumed as hay, wood, and stubble, unworthy of preservation? or will it stand the trial by fire? ...{OHC 369.2}[2]
崇高的恩召-第364章
主已经作好一切安排,使我们能在基督里长大成人,符合上帝的标准。上帝的代表本来能长大成人,满有基督长成的身量,却满足于侏儒的体型,祂就不高兴。祂希望你享有高尚丰富的基督徒经验。祂希望你拥有远大的思想,高尚的志向,对真理有清楚的认识,行动有崇高的动机。每过一年,心中对于基督化品格的纯洁和完美有更多的渴慕。这样的知识若日复一日,月复一月,年复一年地增加,工程就不会如草、木、禾秸般被焚烧,而会用金、银、宝石在根基上建造──不会毁灭,能经得起末日的烈火。{OHC 369.3}[3]
崇高的恩召-第364章
Every provision has been made that we may attain a height of stature in Christ Jesus that will meet the divine standard. God is not pleased with His representatives if they are content to be dwarfs when they might grow up to the full stature of men and women in Christ. He wants you to have height and breadth in Christian experience. He wants you to have great thoughts, noble aspirations, clear perceptions of truth, and lofty purposes of action. Every passing year should increase the soul’s yearning for purity and perfection of Christian character. And if this knowledge increases day by day, month by month, year by year, it will not be work consumed as hay, wood, and stubble; but it will be laying on the foundation stone, gold, silver, and precious stones—works that are not perishable, but which will stand the fires of the last day.{OHC 369.3}[3]
崇高的恩召-第364章
我们是否以经得起审查的周到和忠诚,从事我们属世暂时的工作呢?在主的大日,我们得罪过的人会对我们作不利的见证吗?若是如此,记录已上达于天,我们将再度面对。我们要像在身为“大监工”之主的眼前那样工作,不管我们的辛劳是否为世人所看见,所赏识。无论男女老幼,都不可能在属世或宗教方面用草率、杂乱、虚伪的工作来求得上帝的悦纳。真正的基督徒必在万事上专顾上帝的荣耀,以“我这样作是为了基督”的心态,激发自己的意志,巩固自己的原则。(RH.1884.12.16){OHC 369.4}[4]
崇高的恩召-第364章
Is our earthly, temporal work done with a thoroughness, a fidelity, that will bear scrutiny? Are there those whom we have wronged who will testify against us in the day of God? If so, the record has passed up to heaven, and we shall meet it again. We are to work for the great Taskmaster’s eye, whether our painstaking efforts are seen and appreciated by men or not. No man, woman, nor child can acceptably serve God with neglectful, haphazard, sham work, whether it be secular or religious service. The true Christian will have an eye single to the glory of God in all things, encouraging his purposes and strengthening his principles with this thought, “I do this for Christ.”63{OHC 369.4}[4]
