高举主耶稣-第342章
“亲爱的弟兄啊,你们既盼望这些事,就当殷勤,使自己没有玷污,无可指摘,安然见主”(彼后3:14)。{LHU355.1}
高举主耶稣-第342章
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. 2 Peter 3:14. {LHU 355.1}
高举主耶稣-第342章
彼得从各世代一直展望到末时。他受到圣灵的感动,叙述那在基督复临之前世界所呈现的状态。他写道:“在末时必有好讥诮的人,随从自己的私欲出来讥诮说:主要降临的应许在哪里呢?因为从列祖睡了以来,万物与起初创造的时候仍是一样。”但“人正说平安稳妥的时候,灾祸忽然临到他们”(帖前5:3)。然而总有一些人不至于受仇敌诡计的迷惑。当地上万物的结局临近时,必有一些忠诚的信徒能辨识时事的预兆。正当许多有名无实的信徒在行动上否定自己的信仰时,另外却有一班“忍耐到底”的余民。{LHU355.2}
高举主耶稣-第342章
Looking down through the ages to the close of time, Peter was inspired to outline conditions that would exist in the world just prior to the second coming of Christ. “There shall come in the last days scoffers,” he wrote, “walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.” But “when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them” (1 Thessalonians 5:3). Not all, however, would be ensnared by the enemy’s devices. As the end of all things earthly should approach, there would be faithful ones able to discern the signs of the times.... There would be a remnant who would endure to the end. {LHU 355.2}
高举主耶稣-第342章
彼得常把基督复临的指望保持在心中,并常向教会保证救主以下的应许必定实现:“我若去为你们预备了地方,就必再来接你们到我那里去”(约14:3)。在一般经受考验而依然忠心的人,基督的再来似乎是已经迟延很久了。但彼得坚定他们的信心说:“主所应许的尚未成就,有人以为祂是耽延;其实不是耽延,乃是宽容你们,不愿有一人沉沦,乃愿人人都悔改。但主的日子要象贼来到一样;那日,天必大有响声废去,有形质的都要被烈火销化,地和其上的物都要烧尽了。”{LHU355.3}
高举主耶稣-第342章
Peter kept alive in his heart the hope of Christ’s return, and he assured the church of the certain fulfillment of the Saviour’s promise, “If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself” (John 14:3). To the tried and faithful ones the coming might seem long delayed, but the apostle assured them: “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. {LHU 355.3}
高举主耶稣-第342章
“这一切既然都要如此销化,你们为人该当怎样圣洁、怎样敬虔,切切仰望上帝的日子来到。在那日,天被火烧就销化了,有形质的都要被烈火熔化。我们照祂的应许,盼望新天新地,有义居在其中。”{LHU355.4}
高举主耶稣-第342章
“Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. {LHU 355.4}

“亲爱的弟兄啊!你们既盼望这些事,就当殷勤,使自己没有玷污,无可指摘,安然见主。并且要以我主长久忍耐为得救的因由,就如我们所亲爱的兄弟保罗,照着所赐给他的智慧,写了信给你们。……亲爱的弟兄啊!你们既然预先知道这些事,就当防备,恐怕被恶人的错谬诱惑,就从自己坚固的地步上坠落。你们却要在我们主救主耶稣基督的恩典和知识上有长进。”(AA.535-537).{LHU355.5}
高举主耶稣-第342章
“Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you.... Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:9-18) (The Acts of the Apostles, 535-537). {LHU 355.5}
