“你们再听一个比喻:有个家主,栽了一个葡萄园,周围圈上篱笆,里面挖了一个压酒池,盖了一座楼,租给园户,就往外国去了”(太21:33)。{UL 232.1}[1]

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.Matthew 21:33.{UL 232.1}[1]

这个比喻对于凡在主的工作上受托重任的人有重大的关系。上帝拣选一个民族要他们受基督的教导。祂领他们到旷野接受训练以便参与他的工作,而在那里就赐予他们最崇高的道德法典——祂圣洁的律法。基督隐身在云柱里领导他们走过旷野的漫漫长途。凭着祂自己的权能祂将这来自埃及国的野葡萄栽在祂的葡萄园里。怪不得上帝问:“我为我葡萄园所作之外,还有什么可作的呢?”(赛5:4){UL 232.2}[2]

This parable is of great importance to all who are entrusted with responsibilities in the Lord’s service. God selected a people to be educated by Christ. He brought them into the wilderness to be trained for His service, and there gave them the highest code of morality—His holy law. To them was committed God’s lesson book, the Old Testament Scriptures. Enshrouded in the pillar of cloud Christ led them in their wilderness wandering. By His own power He transplanted the wild vine from Egypt to His vineyard. Well might God ask, “What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done?” (Isaiah 5:4).{UL 232.2}[2]

要统计主因使犹太民族作为祂丰盛知识的库房所给予世界的福惠是一件不可能的事。他们原是祂特别恩宠的对象。既是认识敬拜真神上帝的民族,他们就当传达祂国度的原则。有主亲自教导他们。任何东西,凡有利于培养使他们配代表祂国度的品格者,祂没有留下一样。他们的节期,逾越节、五旬节、住棚节,并跟这些聚会有关的礼仪,都要宣告上帝给予祂子民的真理。在这些聚会中,民众表示欢喜快乐,说明他们因所享受的特权和他们主的恩待而怀存的感谢之忱。这样他们要向一个不认识上帝的世界显明主不撇弃信靠祂的人。他们要以欢乐的声音高唱,“我的心哪,你为何忧闷?为何在我里面烦躁?应当仰望上帝。因我还要称赞祂。祂是我脸上的光荣,是我的上帝。”(诗43:5)……{UL 232.3}[3]

It is impossible to enumerate the advantages the Lord prepared for the world in making the Jewish nation the repository of His rich treasures of knowledge. They were the subjects of His special favor. As a people who knew and worshiped the true God, they were to communicate the principles of His kingdom. They were instructed by the Lord. He withheld from them nothing favorable to the formation of characters which would make them fit representatives of His kingdom. Their feasts, the Passover, the Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles, and the ceremonies attending these gatherings, were to proclaim the truths that God had entrusted to His people. At these gatherings the people were to show gladness and joy, expressing their thanksgiving for their privileges and the gracious treatment of their Lord. Thus they were to show to a world that knew not God that the Lord does not forsake those who trust in Him. With joyful voices they were to sing, “Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God” (Psalm 43:5)....{UL 232.3}[3]

以色列民的历史写在经上正是警戒教导我们这末世的人。那在这末世信仰上要站立得稳,最后得以进入天上迦南的人,必须听信耶稣基督向以色列民所说警告的话。这给予旷野中的教会的教训,要作为上帝的子民世世代代所研究所留意的题材。上帝的子民在旷野的经验,也必是祂子民在这世代的经验。对于那些立志坚守“从前一次交付圣徒的真道”之人们,真理永远是安全的保障。(《文稿》1899年110号,8月6日,“不忠心的园户”){UL 232.4}[4]

The history of the children of Israel is written for our admonition and instruction upon whom the ends of the world are come. Those who would stand firm in the faith in these last days, and finally gain an entrance into the heavenly Canaan, must listen to the words of warning spoken by Jesus Christ to the Israelites. These lessons were given to the church in the wilderness to be studied and heeded by God’s people throughout their generations forever. The experience of the people of God in the wilderness will be the experience of His people in this age. Truth is a safeguard in all time to those who will hold fast the faith once delivered to the saints.—Manuscript 110, August 6, 1899, “The Unfaithful Husbandmen.”{UL 232.4}[4]
