耶稣超乎万名之名-第53章
“我要开口用比喻,把创世以来所隐藏的事发明出来”(太13:35)。JNN60.1
耶稣超乎万名之名-第53章
“I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world.”—Matthew 13:35{JNN 60.1}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第53章
圣经说:“这都是耶稣用比喻对众人说的话;……这是要应验先知的话,说:‘我要开口用比喻,把创世以来所隐藏的事发明出来’”(太13:3,4,35)。祂用自然界的事物来表达属灵的事物,把自然的事物和听众的生活经验与圣经的真理联系起来。基督的比喻从自然界引入灵界,成为真理的链环,把人与上帝、地球与天国连在一起。JNN60.2
耶稣超乎万名之名-第53章
The Scripture says, “All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; ... that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, sayingill open My mouth in parablesill utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world” (Matthew 13:34, 35). Natural things were the medium for the spiritual; the things of nature and the life-experience of His hearers were connected with the truths of the written word. Leading thus from the natural to the spiritual kingdom, Christ’s parables are links in the chain of truth that unites human beings with God, and earth with heaven.{JNN 60.2}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第53章
基督从自然界取材教训人的时候,祂是在讲论祂亲手所造的事物。这些事物的性质和功能,是祂所亲自赋予的。一切受造之物处于原来完美的状态时,都是上帝思想的表达。对于住在伊甸园的亚当和夏娃来说,大自然充满了认识上帝的知识和神圣的教训。他们既看见了上帝的智慧,就存记在心中,因为他们通过上帝所造之物而与祂交通。但当这对圣洁的夫妇违犯了至高者的律法时,来自上帝圣颜的荣光就离开了自然界。如今大地被罪恶所败坏污损。但在毁损之中仍保留有许多美丽的事物。上帝所寄寓的教训并没有消失。只要加以正确的理解,我们仍能从自然界中认识她的创造主。JNN60.3
耶稣超乎万名之名-第53章
In His teaching from nature, Christ was speaking of the things which His own hands had made, and which had qualities and powers that He Himself had imparted. In their original perfection all created things were an expression of the thought of God. To Adam and Eve in their Eden home nature was full of the knowledge of God, teeming with divine instruction. Wisdom spoke to the eye and was received into the heart; for they communed with God in His created works. As soon as the holy pair transgressed the law of the Most High, the brightness from the face of God departed from the face of nature. The earth is now marred and defiled by sin. Yet even in its blighted state much that is beautiful remains. God’s object lessons are not obliterated; rightly understood, nature speaks of her Creator.{JNN 60.3}
耶稣超乎万名之名-第53章
在基督的时代,这些教训已经不为人所注意。世人几乎不能根据上帝的作为来认识上帝。人类的罪孽给美丽的受造之物蒙上了一层黑幕,使上帝的创作无法彰显祂,反而遮蔽了祂。世人竟“去敬拜事奉受造之物,不敬拜事奉那造物之主。”外邦人的“思念变为虚妄,无知的心就昏暗了”(罗1:25,21)。在以色列人中也是如此。人的教训代替了上帝的训诲。不但自然界的事物,就连原为彰显上帝而赐下的崇祀制度和圣经本身,也遭到他们的曲解,而成为遮掩上帝的东西。(COL17、18)JNN60.4
耶稣超乎万名之名-第53章
In the days of Christ these lessons had been lost sight of. Men and women had well-nigh ceased to discern God in His works. The sinfulness of humanity had casall over the fair face of creation; and instead of manifesting God, His works becamarrier that concealed Him. Human beings “worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator.” Thus the heathen “became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened” (Romans 1:25, 21). So in Israel, human teaching had been put in the place of God’s. Not only the things of nature, but the sacrificial service and the Scriptures themselves—all given to reveal God—were so perverted that they became the means of concealing Him.—Christ’s Object Lessons, 17, 18.{JNN 60.4}
