Matthew 9:9-13[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第279章
基督召马太作门徒,引起了很大的反感。身为宗教教师者,竟拣选一个税吏作亲信的弟子,这是违反当时宗教,社会和国家风俗的。(DA273){CC 284.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第279章
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Hosea 6:6. {CC 284.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第279章
马太希望以他感恩的谦卑之举来表达他对这份荣幸的尊重。他召集了那些原来与他一起寻欢作乐且在罪中的同事,为救主摆设盛筵。马太认为耶稣既召唤他这个有罪不配的人,祂也肯定会接纳他先前的同伴们。他觉得他们比他要好得多。马太很希望他们也能与他共享基督的怜悯和恩惠。他希望他们明白基督并不……轻视和厌恶税吏和罪人。他要他们知道基督是一位赐福的救主。……{CC 284.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第279章
The calling of Matthew to be one of Christ’s disciples excited great indignation. For a religious teacher to choose a publican as one of his immediate attendants was an offense against the religious, social, and national customs.7 {CC 284.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第279章
耶稣从不拒绝这种筵席的邀请。祂的目标始终是在听众心中播撒真理的种子,借着祂有说服力的话语,把人吸引到祂身边。基督的一举一动都有其目的。祂此时所给的教训是适时合宜的。祂藉着这个举动说明:即使税吏和罪人祂也不拒绝。……{CC 284.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第279章
In his grateful humility, Matthew desired to show his appreciation of the honor bestowed upon him; and, calling together those who had been his associates in business, in pleasure, and in sin, he made a great feast for the Saviour. If Jesus would call him, who was so sinful and unworthy, He would surely accept his former companions, who were, thought Matthew, far more deserving than himself. Matthew had a great longing that they should share the benefits of the mercies and grace of Christ. He desired them to know that Christ did not ... despise and hate the publicans and sinners. He wanted them to know Christ as the blessed Saviour.... {CC 284.3}[4]

法利赛人看见基督与税吏和罪人一同坐席吃饭,……这班自以为义、觉得不需要救助的人,并不欣赏基督的工作。他们置自己于无法接受祂所带来之救恩的地方。他们也不愿到祂那里来得生命。可怜的税吏和罪人却感到自己需要救助。他们接受了自己所深知基督能给予他们的教训和帮助。(ST.1898.6.23){CC 284.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第279章
Jesus never refused an invitation to such a feast. The object ever before Him was to sow in the hearts of His hearers the seeds of truth—through His winning conversation to draw hearts to Himself. In His every act Christ had a purpose, and the lesson which He gave on this occasion was timely and appropriate. By this act He declared that even publicans and sinners were not excluded from His presence.... {CC 284.4}[5]

耶稣在席上的榜样对于马太是一个恒久的教训。这个被人轻视的税吏,成了一位最热诚的传道人,而且在自己的工作上紧紧地跟随了他夫子的脚踪。(DA274){CC 284.6}[6]
奋斗与勇敢-第279章
The Pharisees beheld Christ sitting and eating with publicans and sinners.... These self-righteous men, who felt no need of help, could not appreciate the work of Christ. They placed themselves where they could not accept the salvation which He came to bring. They would not come unto Him that they might have life. The poor publicans and sinners felt their need of help, and they accepted the instruction and aid which they knew Christ was able to give them.8 {CC 284.5}[6]
