“人子来不是要灭人的性命,是要救人的性命”(路9:56)。[1]{FH 281.1}

The Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.Luke 9:56.{FH 281.1}[1]
从心出发-第269章
约翰是耶稣所爱的门徒,因为他相信倚靠并热爱他的夫子。他对耶稣的爱单纯而热诚。许多人以为约翰对耶稣的这种爱出于本性。画家常把这个门徒描绘成温和柔弱似女子的人,但这种描述是不正确的。约翰和他的兄弟被称为“雷子”(可3:17)。约翰是一个有坚定性格的人,但他从那大教师学了教训。他有品格的缺陷,别人稍微对耶稣的轻视都会激起他的愤怒和好斗精神。他对基督的爱出自一颗需要靠耶稣的功劳得救的心,但这种爱带有必须克服的罪恶本性。有一次他和他兄弟曾要求在天国里居于最高位置,还有一次他禁止一个人医病赶鬼,因为那人不跟从门徒们。又有一次,当他看到主被撒玛利亚人轻视,就希望天上降下火来烧灭他们。但基督责备了他,说:“人子来不是要灭人的性命,是要救人的性命。”[2]{FH 281.2}
从心出发-第269章
John was the disciple whom Jesus loved, because he was believing and trustful and loved his Master with devotion. His love for Christ was characterized by simplicity and ardor. There are many who think that this love for Christ was something natural to the character of John, and the disciple is frequently represented by the artist as of a soft, languid, feminine appearance, but such representations are incorrect. John and his brother were called the “sons of thunder.” John was a man of decided character, but he had learned lessons from the great Teacher. He had defects of character, and any slight shown to Jesus aroused his indignation and combativeness. His love for Christ was the love of a soul saved through the merits of Jesus, but with this love there were natural evil traits that had to be overcome. At one time he and his brother claimed the right to the highest position in the kingdom of heaven, and at another he forbade a man to cast out devils and heal diseases because he followed not with the disciples. At another time, when he saw his Lord slighted by the Samaritans, he wanted to call down fire from heaven to consume them. But Christ rebuked him, saying, “The Son of man is not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”{FH 281.2}[2]

在基督的品格和教训中,门徒们得到了言传身教。基督的恩典是一种改变人心的能力,在门徒的生活中造成了奇妙的改变。生来的品格特性,好批评的精神,报复,野心,坏脾气,这个蒙爱的门徒都有,必须予以克服,他才能做基督的代表。他不仅要听主的话,而且要遵行主的话。他学了耶稣的样式,心里柔和谦卑。……这就是与他夫子作伴的结果。[3]{FH 281.3}
从心出发-第269章
In the character and teaching of Christ, the disciples had both precept and example, and the grace of Christ was a transforming power, working marvelous changes in the life of the disciples. The natural traits of character, the spirit of criticism, revenge, ambition, evil temper, were all in the beloved disciple and had to be overcome in order that he might be a representative of Christ. He was not only a hearer but a doer of the words of his Lord. He learned of Jesus to be meek and lowly of heart.... This was the result of companionship with his Master....{FH 281.3}[3]

我们需要不断警醒,因为我们正接近基督的降临。撒但要“行各样的异能、神迹,和一切虚假的奇事,并且在那沉沦的人身上行各样出于不义的诡诈;因他们不领受爱真理的心,使他们得救”(帖后2:9,10)。我们必须研究那楷模并且变得象耶稣。祂心里柔和谦卑,纯洁而毫无玷污。我们应该始终记住上帝离我们很近。一切事物无论大小都在祂的掌控之中。——《时兆》,1891年4月20日。[4]{FH 281.4}
从心出发-第269章
We have need of constant watchfulness, for we are nearing the coming of Christ, nearing the time when Satan is to work “with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.” We must study the Pattern and become like Jesus, who was meek and lowly of heart, pure and undefiled. We should ever remember that God is near us, and all things great and small are under His control.—Signs of the Times, April 20, 1891.{FH 281.4}[4]
