Hope for Him Who Repents
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men.Titus 2:11.{WGD 149.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第147章
耶稣曾将福杯递给那些自以为“富足,已经发了财,一样都不缺”(启3:17)的人。他们却轻蔑地拒绝了这仁慈的恩赐。凡自以为是正人君子,满足于自己现状的人,不会去追求基督的恩典与公义。骄傲的心感觉不到需要,因此就对基督和祂来要赐予的无限福惠关闭了门户。这种人心中没有耶稣的位置。凡自以为富足尊贵的人,决不会凭着信心祈求,接受上帝的福惠。他们感到自己已经富足,因此就空手离去。但那些知道自己无法自救,不可能靠自己行义的人,会珍惜基督所提供的帮助。他们是虚心的人,是基督所宣布为有福的。[2]
黎明的灵修-第147章
Jesus had presented the cup of blessing to those who felt that they were “rich, and increased with goods, and had need of nothing,” and they had turned with scorn from the gracious gift. He who feels whole, who thinks that he is reasonably good, and is contented with his condition, does not seek to become a partaker of the grace and righteousness of Christ. Pride feels no need, and so it closes the heart against Christ and the infinite blessings He came to give. There is no room for Jesus in the heart of such a person. Those who are rich and honorable in their own eyes do not ask in faith, and receive the blessing of God. They feel that they are full, therefore they go away empty. Those who know that they can not possibly save themselves, or of themselves do any righteous action, are the ones who appreciate the help that Christ can bestow. They are the poor in spirit, whom He declares to be blessed.{WGD 149.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第147章
基督所赦免的人,祂先要使他悔罪。圣灵的工作就是使人认识到自己的罪。凡心中受到上帝之灵的感动,意识到自己罪孽的人,会觉得自己身上一无是处。他们看到自己的一切行为,都掺杂着自私和罪恶。他们像那可怜的税吏那样远远地站着,连举目望天也不敢地喊道:“上帝啊,开恩可怜我这个罪人”(路18:13)。这样的人是有福的。有赦罪之恩赐给悔罪的人,因为基督是“上帝的羔羊,除去世人罪孽的”(约1:29)。……凡深感自己心灵贫乏,无善可称的人,可以藉着仰望耶稣而得到公义和能力。(MB 7-9)[3]
黎明的灵修-第147章
Whom Christ pardons, He first makes penitent, and it is the office of the Holy Spirit to convince of sin. Those whose hearts have been moved by the convicting Spirit of God, see that there is nothing good in themselves. They see that all they have ever done is mingled with self and sin. Like the poor publican, they stand afar off, not daring to lift up so much as their eyes to heaven, and cry, “God, be merciful to me, the sinner.” And they are blessed. There is forgiveness for the penitent; for Christ is “the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.” ... All who have a sense of their deep soul poverty, who feel that they have nothing good in themselves, may find righteousness and strength by looking unto Jesus.—Thoughts from the Mount of Blessing, 7.{WGD 149.3}[3]
