耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
“天国又好像买卖人,寻找好珠子”(太13:45)。JNN160.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is likerchant seeking beautiful pearls.”—Matthew 13:45{JNN 160.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
基督的福音是人人都可以获得的福惠。最贫穷的人和最富足的人一样能够购买救恩,因为救恩不是靠任何数量的属世财富来购买的。唯有甘心顺从,献身给基督,作祂所买来的产业,才能得到救恩。教育,即使是最高的教育,也不能使一个人更加接近上帝。……JNN160.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
The gospel of Christ ilessing that all may possess. The poorest are as well able as the richest to purchase salvation; for no amount of worldly wealth can secure it. It is obtained by willing obedience, by giving ourselves to Christ as His own purchased possession. Education, even of the highest class, cannot of itself brinerson nearer to God....{JNN 160.2}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
我们应当寻求那颗贵重的珍珠,但不是在世界的市场上,用属世的方法去寻求。我们所需要付出的代价不是金银,因为金银本来就是属于上帝的。不要以为拥有属世或属灵方面的有利条件,就会为你赚得救恩。上帝所要的,乃是你乐意的顺从。祂要你放弃罪恶。……JNN160.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
We are to seek for the pearl of great price, but not in worldly marts or in worldly ways. The price we are required to pay is not gold or silver, for this belongs to God. Abandon the idea that temporal or spiritual advantages will win for you salvation. God calls for your willing obedience. He asks you to give up your sins....{JNN 160.3}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
有些人看上去好像在不断地寻找天国的珍珠。但是他们没有完全放弃自己的不良习惯。他们没有向自己死去,使基督可以在他们里面活着。因此他们找不到那颗宝贵的珍珠。他们没有克服不圣洁的野心和对于世俗引诱的留恋。他们没有背起十字架而在克己牺牲的道路上跟从基督。他们几乎是基督徒,但不完全是基督徒。他们看上去离天国很近,但是不能进去。几乎得救而没有完全得救,所意味的不是几乎灭亡,而是完全灭亡了。JNN160.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
There are some who seem to be always seeking for the heavenly pearl. But they do not make an entire surrender of their wrong habits. They do not die to self that Christ may live in them. Therefore they do not find the precious pearl. They have not overcome unholy ambition and their love for worldly attractions. They do not take up the cross and follow Christ in the path of self-denial and sacrifice. Almost Christians, yet not fully Christians, they seem near the kingdom of heaven, but they cannot enter there. Almost but not wholly saved, means to be not almost but wholly lost.{JNN 160.4}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
买卖人寻找好珠子的比喻具有双重的意义。它不但说明人对天国的寻求,也是说明基督寻找祂所失丧的产业。基督是寻找好珠子的天上买卖人。祂从丧亡的人类身上看到了贵重的珍珠。祂从被罪恶玷污败坏的人身上,看出了救赎的可能性。那些曾经成为与撒但斗争之战场的心灵,经过爱的能力拯救之后,在救赎主看来,要比从未堕落的生灵更加宝贵。上帝看人,并不看他的卑劣和不配,而是看到他在基督里面,看到他藉着救赎之爱所能达到的状况。祂收集了宇宙间所有的财宝,用来购买那颗珍珠。(COL117、118)JNN160.5
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
The parable of the merchantman seeking goodly pearls haouble significance: it applies not only to people as seeking the kingdom of heaven, but to Christ as seeking His lost inheritance. Christ, the heavenly merchantman seeking goodly pearls, saw in lost humanity the pearl of price. In human beings, defiled and ruined by sin, He saw the possibilities of redemption. Hearts that have been the battleground of the conflict with Satan, and that have been rescued by the power of love, are more precious to the Redeemer than are those who have never fallen. God looked upon humanity, not as vile and worthless; He looked upon it in Christ, saw it as it might become through redeeming love. He collected all the riches of the universe, and laid them down in order to buy the pearl.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 117, 118.{JNN 160.5}

思考题:?如果救恩可以通过对上帝的顺从来获得,那么是什么阻止了人类完全将自己的意愿交给上帝呢??JNN160.6
耶稣超乎万名之名-第150章
Further Reflection: If salvation can be purchased through willing obedience to God, what prevents human beings from totally surrendering their wills to God{JNN 160.6}
