A Shepherd’s Crook for a Sceptre, July 4
高举主耶稣-第186章
“撒母耳就用角里的膏油,在他诸兄中膏了他。从这日起,耶和华的灵就大大感动大卫”(撒上16:13)。{LHU199.1}
高举主耶稣-第186章
Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forward.1 Samuel 16:13.{LHU 199.1}[1]
高举主耶稣-第186章
当耶西的众子从撒母耳面前经过的时候,他心想那位身材高大,外貌高贵的以利押一定是蒙拣选的,但是上帝的天使站在他身旁引导他作出重要的决定,指示他不应按外貌判断。以利押不敬畏上帝,他的心在上帝看来不正,他会成为一个骄傲苛刻的君王。耶西的众子中只有最年轻的大卫被选上了,他卑微的工作就是看守羊群。他已非常忠心勇敢地履行了牧羊的谦卑职责,以致上帝拣选他作祂百姓的统帅。有一天,他牧羊的杖要变成权杖。(4aSG77,78){LHU199.2}
高举主耶稣-第186章
As the sons of Jesse passed before Samuel, he would have selected Eliab, who was of high stature, and dignified appearance, but the angel of God stood by him to guide him in the important decision, and instructed him that he should not judge from appearance. Eliab did not fear the Lord. His heart was not right with God. He would make a proud, exacting ruler. None were found among the sons of Jesse but David, the youngest, whose humble occupation was that of tending sheep. He had filled the humble office of shepherd with such faithfulness and courage that God selected him to be captain of his people. In course of time, he was to change his shepherd’s crook for the sceptre (Spiritual Gifts 4a:77, 78).{LHU 199.2}[2]
高举主耶稣-第186章
上帝拣选大卫这个卑微的牧羊人来管理祂的百姓。大卫在犹太宗教的一切礼仪上非常严格,并以勇敢和对上帝毫不动摇的信赖而闻名。他因忠诚和敬畏而非同寻常。他的坚定、谦卑、喜爱公义、品格果断,使他有资格实现上帝崇高的旨意,教导以色列忠诚献身,并作为智慧大度的君王统治他们。{LHU199.3}
高举主耶稣-第186章
God selected David, a humble shepherd, to rule His people. He was strict in all the ceremonies connected with the Jewish religion, and he distinguished himself by his boldness and unwavering trust in God. He was remarkable for his fidelity and reverence. His firmness, humility, love of justice, and decision of character, qualified him to carry out the high purposes of God, to instruct Israel in their devotions, and to rule them as a generous and wise monarch.{LHU 199.3}[3]
高举主耶稣-第186章
大卫的宗教品质真诚而热切。他如此忠于上帝,而且具有这些高尚的品性时,上帝才称他为合自己心意的人。(4aSG.85,86).{LHU199.4}
高举主耶稣-第186章
His religious life was sincere and fervent. It was while David was thus true to God, and possessing these exalted traits of character, that God calls him a man after His own heart (Spiritual Gifts 4a:85, 86).{LHU 199.4}[4]
高举主耶稣-第186章
大卫并未因他所得的极大尊荣而骄矜。虽然他将要占居这崇高的地位,他依然安分守己地从事他的工作,等待耶和华在祂自己预定的时候,照祂自己的方法来实现祂的计划。这个牧童象受膏以前一样,谦卑虚心地回到山间,像过去一样依然温慈地看守保护着他的羊群。……{LHU199.5}
高举主耶稣-第186章
The great honor conferred upon David did not serve to elate him. Notwithstanding the high position which he was to occupy, he quietly continued his employment, content to await the development of the Lord’s plan in His own time and way. As humble and modest as before his anointing, the shepherd boy returned to the hills and watched and guarded his flocks as tenderly as ever....{LHU 199.5}[5]
高举主耶稣-第186章
大卫在青年时期的优美和精力之中,正准备担任一个崇高的地位,与世上最高贵的伟人并驾齐驱。他用他的才能,就是上帝所赐给他最宝贵的恩赐,来颂扬那厚赐恩典之上帝的荣耀。他深思默想的机会,使他在智慧和敬虔上格外丰富起来,使他得蒙上帝和天使的喜悦。……那感动着他的慈爱,那环绕着他的忧伤,和那追随着他的胜利,──这一切都是他活泼的思想所充满的题旨;当他在自己生活的一切遭遇中看到上帝的爱时,他的心就涌出了更热烈的崇拜和感谢,他的口就唱出更富丽的歌曲,他的琴就奏出更欢乐的音调,于是这个牧童就力上加力,智上加智,因为有耶和华的灵在他身上。(PP.641,642).{LHU199.6}
高举主耶稣-第186章
David, in the beauty and vigor of his young manhood, was preparing to take a high position with the noblest of the earth. His talents, as precious gifts from God, were employed to extol the glory of the divine Giver. His opportunities of contemplation and meditation served to enrich him with that wisdom and piety that made him beloved of God and angels.... The love that moved him, the sorrows that beset him, the triumphs that attended him, were all themes for his active thought; and as he beheld the love of God in all the providences of his life, his heart throbbed with more fervent adoration and gratitude, his voice rang out in richer melody, his harp was swept with more exultant joy; and the shepherd boy proceeded from strength to strength, from knowledge to knowledge; for the Spirit of the Lord was upon him (Patriarchs and Prophets, 641, 642).{LHU 199.6}[6]
