耶稣超乎万名之名-第147章
“但愿人因耶和华的慈爱和祂向人所行的奇事都称赞祂”(诗107:8)。JNN157.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第147章
Oh, that men would give thanks to the LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!—Psalm 107:8{JNN 157.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第147章
基督徒如果能聚在一起,互相谈论上帝的爱和救赎的宝贵真理,他们自己的心就会得到鼓舞,并且能彼此鼓舞。我们每天可以从天父那里学到更多,并对祂的恩典有新的体验。于是我们就会乐意讲述祂的慈爱。我们这样做的时候,内心就得到温暖与振奋。我们越多默想耶稣,谈论耶稣,而少注意自己,与祂就越亲近。JNN157.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第147章
If Christians would associate together, speaking to each other of the love of God and of the precious truths of redemption, their own hearts would be refreshed and they would refresh one another. We may be daily learning more of our heavenly Father, gaininresh experience of His grace; then we shall desire to speak of His love; and as we do this, our own hearts will be warmed and encouraged. If we thought and talked more of Jesus, and less of self, we should have far more of His presence.{JNN 157.2}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第147章
如果我们一得到上帝眷顾我们的证据就思念祂,祂就会一直留在我们的思想中,使我们乐意谈论祂、赞美祂。我们谈论属世的事,是因为我们对这些事有兴趣。我们谈论自己的朋友,是因我们爱他们,愿与他们同甘共苦。然而我们爱上帝胜过爱属世朋友的理由,却非常之大。我们要自然而然地让上帝占据我们思想的首位,谈论祂的恩慈,述说祂的权能。上帝赐给我们丰盛的恩典,不是单为我们思慕,而对上帝无所回报。这些恩赐是要不断提醒我们想起祂,以慈绳爱索把我们连结起来,使我们感谢天上的施恩者。我们入俗太深了。应当举目仰望天上圣所敞开的门户。在那里上帝荣耀的光照在基督面上。“凡靠着祂进到上帝面前的人,祂都能拯救到底”(来7:25)。JNN157.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第147章
If we would but think of God as often as we have evidence of His care for us we should keep Him ever in our thoughts and should delight to talk of Him and to praise Him. We talk of temporal things because we have an interest in them. We talk of our friends because we love them; our joys and our sorrows are bound up with them. Yet we have infinitely greater reason to love God than to love our earthly friends; it should be the most natural thing in the world to make Him first in all our thoughts, to talk of His goodness and tell of His power. The rich gifts He has bestowed upon us were not intended to absorb our thoughts and love so much that we should have nothing to give to God; they are constantly to remind us of Him and to bind us in bonds of love and gratitude to our heavenly Benefactor. We dwell too near the lowlands of earth. Let us raise our eyes to the open door of the sanctuary above, where the light of the glory of God shines in the face of Christ, who “is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by Him” (Hebrews 7:25).{JNN 157.3}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第147章
我们要“因耶和华的慈爱和祂向人所行的奇事,都称赞祂”(诗107:8)。我们的祈祷不应只包括祈求和领受。不要专想到自己的需要,而从不思考我们所领受的恩惠。我们祷告并不太多,但我们的感恩却太少。我们不断地领受上帝的恩典,却很少表示感谢,很少赞美祂为我们所做的事。(SC101-103)JNN157.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第147章
We need to praise God more “for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men” (Psalm 107:8). Our devotional exercises should not consist wholly in asking and receiving. Let us not be always thinking of our wants and never of the benefits we receive. We do not pray any too much, but we are too sparing of giving thanks. We are the constant recipients of God’s mercies, and yet how little gratitude we express, how little we praise Him for what He has done for us.—Steps to Christ, 101-103.{JNN 157.4}
