耶稣超乎万名之名-第152章
“务要牧养在你们中间神的群羊,按着神旨意照管他们。不是出于勉强,乃是出于甘心。也不是因为贪财,乃是出于乐意”(彼前5:2)。JNN162.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第152章
Shepherd the flock of God which is among you, serving as overseers, not by compulsion but willingly, not for dishonest gain but eagerly.—1 Peter 5:2{JNN 162.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第152章
上帝对于祂产业的照顾是不息不倦的。祂所容许临到祂儿女的每一个患难,都是他们今生和永久的利益所不可或少的。祂一定要洁净祂的教会,像基督在地上传道时洁净圣殿一样。凡祂所加在祂百姓身上的考验与试炼,都是为要帮助他们得到更深的虔诚和更大的力量,去推广十字架的胜利。JNN162.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第152章
God’s care for His heritage is unceasing. He suffers no affliction to come upon His children but such as is essential for their present and eternal good. He will purify His church, even as Christ purified the temple during His ministry on earth. All that He brings upon His people in test and trial comes that they may gain deeper piety and greater strength to carry forward the triumphs of the cross.{JNN 162.2}

在彼得的经验中,他曾经一度不愿意在基督的工作上看到一个十字架。当救主向门徒说明祂所面临的苦难和死亡时,彼得惊叹说:“主啊!万不可如此!这事必不临到祢身上”(太16:22)。彼得之所以劝阻基督,乃是出于自怜,不愿与基督一同受苦的心理。这个门徒难以领会的艰苦教训乃是:基督在地上的道路必须经过痛苦与屈辱。但他终于在考验的火焰中学会了这个教训。这时,他那本来活泼的身体已经因多年的辛劳而老态龙钟了,但他能以写道:“亲爱的弟兄啊!有火炼的试验临到你们,不要以为奇怪,(似乎是遭遇非常的事)倒要欢喜;因为你们是与基督一同受苦,使你们在祂荣耀显现的时候,也可以欢喜快乐。”?JNN162.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第152章
There had beeime in Peter’s experience when he was unwilling to see the cross in the work of Christ. When the Saviour made known to the disciples His impending sufferings and death, Peter exclaimed, “Be it far from Thee, Lord: this shall not be unto Thee” (Matthew 16:22). Self-pity, which shrank from fellowship with Christ in suffering, prompted Peter’s remonstrance. It was to the disciplitter lesson, and one which he learned but slowly, that the path of Christ on earth lay through agony and humiliation. But in the heat of the furnace fire he was to learn its lesson. Now, when his once active form was bowed with the burden of years and labors, he could write, “Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: but rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when His glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.”{JNN 162.3}

彼得向教会的长老指明他们作为基督羊群之牧者的责任说:“务要牧养在你们中间上帝的群羊,按着上帝旨意照管他们;不是出于勉强,乃是出于甘心;也不是因为贪财,乃是出于乐意。也不是辖制所托付你们的,乃是作群羊的榜样。到了牧长显现的时候,你们必得那永不衰残的荣耀冠冕。”?JNN162.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第152章
Addressing the church elders regarding their responsibilities as undershepherds of Christ’s flock, the apostle wrote: “Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but oeady mind; neither as being lords over God’s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receivrown of glory that fadeth not away.”{JNN 162.4}

那些站在牧者地位的人务要殷勤看守主的羊群。他们不可独断独裁,作威作福,却要勉励、坚固并造就羊群。(AA524-526)JNN162.5
耶稣超乎万名之名-第152章
Those who occupy the position of undershepherds are to exercisatchful diligence over the Lord’s flock. This is not to bictatorial vigilance, but one that tends to encourage and strengthen and uplift.—The Acts of the Apostles, 524-526.{JNN 162.5}
