Chapter 137—Christian Sociability and Courtesy
告青年书-第152章
上帝的子民对于基督化的社交确实学得太少了。我们的学校决不可忽视和忘记这方面的教育。{MYP 405.1}[1]
告青年书-第152章
Christian sociability is altogether too little cultivated by God’s people. This branch of education should not be neglected or lost sight of in our schools.{MYP 405.1}[1]
告青年书-第152章
要教育学生明白,他们并不是单独的原子。每一个人都好比是一根纱,要与其他的纱一起织成布匹。没有什么地方能比在学校里更为有效地传授这一教训。在这里,每日环绕着学生们的一切机会若能加以善用,就可大大有助于培养他们的社交能力。他们能否善用自己的光阴和机会,塑造一个使自己幸福有为的品格,乃在于他们自己。那些离群索居,不愿通过友好的社交而造福他人的人,必会丧失许多福气。人的心智,会因相互接触而得到提炼和洁净。通过社交,大家彼此结识,情投意合,营造了一派上天所悦纳的和睦气氛。{MYP 405.2}[2]
告青年书-第152章
Students should be taught that they are not independent atoms, but that each one is a thread which is to unite with other threads in composing a fabric. In no department can this instruction be more effectually given than in the school home. Here students are daily surrounded by opportunities which, if improved, will greatly aid in developing the social traits of their characters. It lies in their own power so to improve their time and opportunities as to develop a character that will make them happy and useful. Those who shut themselves up within themselves, who are unwilling to be drawn upon to bless others by friendly associations, lose many blessings; for by mutual contact minds receive polish and refinement; by social intercourse acquaintances are formed and friendships contracted which result in a unity of heart and an atmosphere of love which is pleasing in the sight of heaven.{MYP 405.2}[2]
告青年书-第152章
凡尝过基督之爱的滋味的人,尤其要培养自己社交的能力。这样,他们就能引人归向救主了。他们不该把基督藏匿在心中,好像神圣甘美的宝物专供自己享受;也不该将基督的爱只向那些与自己情投意合的人显示。我们要教导学生效法基督,向最需要的人显示亲切的关怀和友善的态度,即使这些人可能不是他们所要选择的友伴。不论何时何地,耶稣对人类的家庭都表示慈爱的关怀,并流露出喜乐虔诚的光辉。学生们应当学习跟从救主的脚踪,要学习对年幼的友伴表现出基督般的关怀,同情和爱心,并耐心地吸引他们归向耶稣。基督应在他们心中成为活水的泉源,直湧到永生,使一切与他们接触的人都得到振奋。{MYP 405.3}[3]
告青年书-第152章
Especially should those who have tasted the love of Christ develop their social powers, for in this way they may win souls to the Saviour. Christ should not be hid away in their hearts, shut in as a coveted treasure, sacred and sweet, to be enjoyed solely by themselves; nor should the love of Christ be manifested toward those only who please their fancy. Students are to be taught the Christlikeness of exhibiting a kindly interest, a social disposition, toward those who are in the greatest need, even though these may not be their own chosen companions. At all times and in all places Jesus manifested a loving interest in the human family, and shed about Him the light of a cheerful piety. Students should be taught to follow in His steps. They should be taught to manifest Christian interest, sympathy, and love for their youthful companions, and endeavor to draw them to Jesus; Christ should be in their hearts as a well of water springing up into everlasting life, refreshing all with whom they come in contact.{MYP 405.3}[3]
告青年书-第152章
在他人需要的时候所作的这种甘心亲切的服务,乃是上帝所看为宝贵的。即使是在校的学生,若忠心于自己的信仰,也能为上帝作传道之工。这样做是需要时间的,但很有价值。因为学生这样做,正是在学习怎样把基督教信仰介绍给世人。{MYP 406.1}[4]
告青年书-第152章
It is this willing, loving ministry for others in times of necessity that is accounted precious with God. Thus even while attending school, students may, if true to their profession, be living missionaries for God. All this will take time; but the time thus employed is profitably spent, for in this way the student is learning how to present Christianity to the world.{MYP 406.1}[4]
告青年书-第152章
基督决不拒绝与他人的友好交往。法利赛人和税吏邀请他去赴筵时,祂就应邀而去。在这样的场合里,祂所说出的每句话,对于听的人来说都是活的香气叫人活,因为祂使进餐的时间成了分送许多他们所需要之宝贵功课的机会。基督就是这样教导门徒,应当如何与有信仰和没有信仰的人相处。——《教会证言》卷六172,173页{MYP 406.2}[5]
告青年书-第152章
Christ did not refuse to mingle with others in friendly intercourse. When invited to a feast by Pharisee or publican, He accepted the invitation. On such occasions every word that He uttered was a savor of life unto life to His hearers; for He made the dinner hour an occasion of imparting many precious lessons adapted to their needs. Christ thus taught His disciples how to conduct themselves when in the company of those who were not religious as well as of those who were.—Testimonies for the Church 6:172, 173.{MYP 406.2}[5]
