Shut Away With God, December 22
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
“你将要受的苦你不用怕,魔鬼要把你们中间几个人下在监里,叫你们被试炼。……你务要至死忠心,我就赐给你那生命的冠冕”(启2:10)。{CC 362.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; ... be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Revelation 2:10. {CC 362.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
由于皇帝的命令,约翰“为上帝的道并为给耶稣作的见证”(启1:9)被流放在拔摩岛上。他的仇敌以为在这里他再也不能起什么作用,并以为他最后必定因艰难困苦而死。{CC 362.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
By the emperor’s decree John was banished to the Isle of Patmos, condemned “for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 1:9). Here, his enemies thought, his influence would no longer be felt, and he must finally die of hardship and distress. {CC 362.2}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
拔摩岛乃是爱琴海中一个荒芜多岩的海岛,为罗马政府放逐囚犯之处;但这个凄凉的地方在上帝的仆人却成了天国的门户。这里他远离了忙碌的环境,停止了早年的活动,但他仍有上帝,基督和天上的使者为伴,并从他们领受了有关将来教会的教训。……约翰在拔摩岛的悬崖绝壁之间与他的创造主交通。他回顾自己过去的生活。他一想到自己所领受的福惠,心中就充满了平安。……{CC 362.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
Patmos, a barren, rocky island in the Aegean Sea, had been chosen by the Roman government as a place of banishment for criminals; but to the servant of God this gloomy abode became the gate of heaven. Here, shut away from the busy scenes of life, and from the active labors of former years, he had the companionship of God and Christ and the heavenly angels, and from them he received instruction for the church for all future time.... Among the cliffs and rocks of Patmos, John held communion with his Maker. He reviewed his past life, and at thought of the blessings he had received, peace filled his heart.... {CC 362.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
约翰在他孤寂的住处,能以非常仔细地研究上帝在自然的课本和圣经的篇幅中所显现的能力。……他在过去的岁月中,眼目所接触的尽是长满树木的山头,青翠欲滴的峡谷,和结果累累的平原。他总是欢喜在大自然的美丽中探究创造主的智慧和技巧。如今,他周围的景色在许多人看来乃是幽郁凄凉的;但对于约翰却不是这样。他的环境虽然荒凉颓废,但在他上头蔚蓝的穹苍与他所爱的耶路撒冷的上空是一样光明美丽的。在荒芜崎岖的岩石间,在奥妙莫测的深渊中,在满天星斗的穹苍中,他都学到了重要的教训。这一切都为上帝的权能和荣耀作见证。……{CC 362.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
In his isolated home John was able to study more closely than ever before the manifestations of divine power as recorded in the book of nature and in the pages of inspiration.... In former years his eyes had been greeted by the sight of forest-covered hills, green valleys, and fruitful plains; and in the beauties of nature it had ever been his delight to trace the wisdom and skill of the Creator. He was now surrounded by scenes that to many would appear gloomy and uninteresting; but to John it was otherwise. While his surroundings might be desolate and barren, the blue heavens that bent above him were as bright and beautiful as the skies above his loved Jerusalem. In the wild, rugged rocks, in the mysteries of the deep, in the glories of the firmament, he read important lessons. All bore the message of God’s power and glory.... {CC 362.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
约翰看见岛上的岩石,就想起他力量的磐石基督。人隐藏在祂的荫下必不惧怕。这个被放逐的使徒,在拔摩岛的岩石上发出了最热切的爱慕上帝之心,献上了最诚恳的祷告。(AA570,572){CC 362.5}[5]
奋斗与勇敢-第357章
By the rocks he was reminded of Christ, the Rock of his strength, in whose shelter he could hide without fear. From the exiled apostle on rocky Patmos there went up the most ardent longing of soul after God, the most fervent prayers.38 {CC 362.5}[5]
