Nature a Lesson Book
健康勉言-第71章
(《基督比喻实训》第24-27页,1900年)
基督在湖边,在山上,在田野和树林里教训祂的门徒。在这里,门徒可以看到祂用来阐明祂教训的自然景物。他们一边向基督学习,一边运用所学来的知识,在工作上与祂合作。{CH164.1}[1]

[Christ’s Object Lessons, 24-27 (1900).]
Christ taught His disciples by the lake, on the mountainside, in the fields and groves, where they could look upon the things of nature by which He illustrated His teachings. And as they learned of Christ they put their knowledge to use by co-operating with Him in His work.{CH 164.1}[1]

我们也应当这样通过自然界认识创造主。大自然是一本伟大的教科书。我们应当将它与圣经结合起来,把上帝的品德教导别人,引领迷路的羊归回祂的羊圈。当人们研究上帝的作为时,圣灵就会使他们的心有所感悟。这种感悟不是靠逻辑的推理。只要人的心还没有黑暗到无法认识上帝,眼睛还没有昏花到看不见祂,耳朵还没有聋到听不到祂的声音,他们就会明白更深的意义,并深刻领会圣经伟大的属灵真理。{CH164.2}[2]

So through the creation we are to become acquainted with the Creator. The book of nature is a great lesson book, which in connection with the Scriptures we are to use in teaching others of His character and guiding lost sheep back to the fold of God. As the works of God are studied, the Holy Spirit flashes conviction into the mind. It is not the conviction that logical reasoning produces, but unless the mind has become too dark to know God, the eye too dim to see Him, the ear too dull to hear His voice, a deeper meaning is grasped, and the sublime, spiritual truths of the written word are impressed on the heart.{CH 164.2}[2]

这些直接来自大自然的教训既简单又纯朴,具有很高的价值。所有的人都需要其中的教训。自然界本身的美能引导人的心灵离开罪恶和世俗的诱惑,追求纯洁,平安与上帝。学生的思想往往充斥人的理论和推测。这些东西居然被妄称为科学和哲学。他们需要与自然界密切接触。要让他们知道自然界和基督教同有一位上帝。要教导他们明白自然界和灵界是和谐一致的。他们眼睛所看见,双手所接触的每一件事物,都要成为品格建造的功课。这样,他们的智力就会增强,品格就会发展,整个人生就会得到提高。{CH164.3}[3]

In these lessons direct from nature there is a simplicity and purity that makes them of the highest value. All need the teaching to be derived from this source. In itself the beauty of nature leads the soul away from sin and worldly attractions and toward purity, peace, and God. Too often the minds of students are occupied with men’s theories and speculations, falsely called science and philosophy. They need to be brought into close contact with nature. Let them learn that creation and Christianity have one God. Let them be taught to see the harmony of the natural with the spiritual. Let everything which their eyes see or their hands handle be made a lesson in character building. Thus the mental powers will be strengthened,the character developed, the whole life ennobled.{CH 164.3}[3]

基督用比喻教训人,是与祂设立安息日的宗旨一致的。上帝要人纪念祂创造的大能,从祂所造的万物中认识祂。安息日要我们从祂的创造之工中看到祂的荣耀。为此,耶稣将祂宝贵的教训与自然美丽的万物联系在一起。在圣安息日,我们应当比平日更多地研究上帝在大自然中为我们所写的信息。我们要到救主说比喻的地方,就是田野和树林里,露天和花草丛中研究这些比喻。我们接近大自然,基督就会向我们显现,对我们的心灵讲述祂的平安与慈爱。{CH165.1}[4]

Christ’s purpose in parable teaching was in direct line with the purpose of the Sabbath. God gave to men the memorial of His creative power, that they might discern Him in the works of His hand. The Sabbath bids us behold in His created works the glory of the Creator. And it was because He desired us to do this that Jesus bound up His precious lessons with the beauty of natural things. On the holy rest day, above all other days, we should study the messages that God has written for us in nature. We should study the Saviour’s parables where He spoke them, in the fields and groves, under the open sky, among the grass and flowers. As we come close to the heart of nature, Christ makes His presence real to us and speaks to our hearts of His peace and love.{CH 165.1}[4]

基督不仅把祂的教训与安息日联系起来,也与劳动的一周联系起来。对于耕田撒种的人,祂有智慧的教训。……祂也希望我们在各种有益的劳动和生活的方方面面中,发现神圣真理的教训。这样,我们每天的劳动就非但不会转移我们的注意力,使我们忘记上帝,而且会使我们时常想起创造和救赎我们的主。默想上帝,就像是一条金线,贯穿在我们的家务和工作中。为了我们,上帝圣颜的荣光将再次投射在自然界中。我们将经常学习天国真理新的教训,渐渐长成祂纯洁的形像。我们这样接受“耶和华的教训”,在“蒙召的时候是什么身份,仍要在上帝面前守住这身份”(赛54:13;林前7:24)。{CH165.2}[5]
健康勉言-第71章
And Christ has linked His teaching, not only with the day of rest, but with the week of toil. He has wisdom for him who drives the plow and sows the seed.... In every line of useful labor and every association of life He desires us to find a lesson of divine truth. Then our daily toil will no longer absorb our attention and lead us to forget God; it will continually remind us of our Creator and Redeemer. The thought of God will run like a thread of gold through all our homely cares and occupations. For us the glory of His face will again rest upon the face of nature. We shall ever be learning new lessons of heavenly truth and growing into the image of His purity. Thus shall we “be taught of the Lord,” and in the lot wherein we are called we shall “abide with God.”{CH 165.2}[5]
