He Remembereth We Are Dust, February 12
§3
“父亲怎样怜恤他的儿女,耶和华也怎样怜恤敬畏祂的人,因为祂知道我们的本体,思念我们不过是尘土”(诗103:13,14)。[1]
§4
God’s Great Love Our Only Hope
§5
Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.?Psalm 103:13, 14.?{WGD 45.1}[1]
§6
基督在人世间行走时所运用的力量蕴藏在祂的话中。祂医病,赶鬼,平风,静浪,使死人复活,乃是用祂的话。民众都证明祂的话带有能力。祂讲说上帝的话,正如祂对旧约时代的先知和教师说话一样。全部圣经都彰显基督。[2]
§7
The same power that Christ exercised when He walked visibly among men is in His Word. It was by His word that Jesus healed disease and cast out demons; by His word He stilled the sea, and raised the dead; and the people bore witness that His word was with power. He spoke the Word of God, as He had spoken to all the prophets and teachers of the Old Testament. The whole Bible is a manifestation of Christ.?{WGD 45.2}[2]
§8
我们接受圣经作为上帝对我们说的话,不单是手写的,也是口述的。当受苦的人到基督面前来的时候,祂所看到的不单是这些求助的人,也看到各世代中带着同样的需要和信心来向祂求助的人。祂对瘫子说:“小子,放心吧,你的罪赦了”(太9:2)。祂对迦百农的妇人说:“女儿,你的信心救了你,平平安安地去吧”(路8:48)。这些话祂也是对其他向祂求助、背负罪担的受苦者说的。[3]
§9
The Scriptures are to be received as God’s Word to us, not written merely, but spoken. When the afflicted ones came to Christ, He beheld not only those who asked for help, but all who throughout the ages should come to Him in like need and with like faith. When He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee;” when He said to the woman of Capernaum, “Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace,” He spoke to other afflicted, sin-burdened ones who should seek His help.?{WGD 45.3}[3]
§10
圣经的一切应许也是这样地直接对我们个人说的,就像主面对面与我们交谈一样。基督通过这些应许把祂的恩典和能力输送给我们。这些话犹如生命树上的叶子,能“医治万民”(启22:2)。这些话被人接受和消化,就会成为品格的力量,生命的动力和营养。没有什么其他东西拥有如此的医治之能。也没有什么其他东西能增加人的信心和勇气,给人的全身带来活力。(MH 122)[4]
§11
So with all the promises of God’s Word. In them He is speaking to us individually, speaking as directly as if we could listen to His voice. It is in these promises that Christ communicates to us His grace and power. They are leaves from that tree which is “for the healing of the nations.” Received, assimilated, they are to be the strength of the character, the inspiration and sustenance of the life. Nothing else can have such healing power. Nothing besides can impart the courage and faith, which give vital energy to the whole being.—The Ministry of Healing, 122.?{WGD 45.4}[4]
