记忆经文：
“彼拉多就对他说，这样，你是王吗？耶稣回答说，你说我是王。我为此而生，也为此来到世间，特为给真理作见证。凡属真理的人就听我的话。” KJV — 约翰福音 18:37
Memory Text: “Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.” KJV — John 18:37
“上帝为何让亚伯拉罕遭受饥荒
“Why God Permitted Abraham to Suffer Famine
“亚伯拉罕继续向南行进，他的信心再次受到考验。天不降雨，牛羊找不到牧场。饥荒威胁着整个营地。当麻烦接踵而至时，所有人都热切地注视着亚伯拉罕会做什么。只要他的信心不动摇，他们就觉得有希望；他们确信上帝是他的朋友，祂仍在引导他。 EP 76.4
“Abraham continued to journey southward, and again his faith was tested. The heavens withheld their rain, and the flocks and herds found no pasture. Starvation threatened the whole encampment. All were eagerly watching to see what Abraham would do, as trouble after trouble came. So long as his confidence appeared unshaken, they felt that there was hope; they were assured that God was his friend and that He was still guiding him. EP 76.4
“亚伯拉罕坚守应许：“我必赐福给你，叫你的名为大，你也要叫别人得福。”他不让环境动摇他对上帝圣言的信心。为了逃避饥荒，他下到埃及。在绝境中，他没有回到他所来自的迦勒底之地，而是在尽可能靠近应许之地的地方寻找一个临时避难所。EP 77.1
“Abraham held fast the promise, “I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.” He would not allow circumstances to shake his faith in God's word. To escape the famine he went down to Egypt. He did not in his extremity turn back to the Chaldean land from which he came, but sought a temporary refuge as near as possible to the Land of Promise. EP 77.1
“主本着他的旨意，将这次考验降在亚伯拉罕身上，为要教训他，使以后蒙召忍受苦难的人得益。上帝不会忘记或抛弃那些信靠他的人。那些考验最严重地考验我们的信心，使我们觉得上帝已经抛弃了我们，是为了引导我们更接近基督。我们可以把一切重担放在他的脚前，体验他所赐予我们的平安。EP 77.2
“The Lord in His providence had brought this trial upon Abraham to teach him lessons for the benefit of all who should afterward be called to endure affliction. God does not forget or cast off those who put their trust in Him. The trials that task our faith most severely and make it seem that God has forsaken us are to lead us closer to Christ. We may lay all our burdens at His feet and experience the peace which He will give us in exchange. EP 77.2
“基督徒品格中的渣滓在火炉的灼热中被从真金中分离出来。上帝用严密的考验来管教祂的仆人。祂看到一些人有能力可以用于推进祂的工作。祂出于祂的旨意，将他们带到考验他们品格的位置，并显露他们自己所不知道的弱点。祂给他们机会改正这些缺点。祂向他们显明自己的弱点，教导他们依靠祂。这样，他们就受到教育、训练和管教，准备好去实现他们被赋予能力的伟大目的。天使可以与他们联合，在地上完成工作。” EP 77.3
“It is in the heat of the furnace that the dross is separated from the true gold of Christian character. By close, testing trials God disciplines His servants. He sees that some have powers which may be used in the advancement of His work. In His providence He brings them into positions that test their character and reveal weaknesses hidden from their own knowledge. He gives them opportunity to correct these defects. He shows them their own weakness and teaches them to lean upon Him. Thus they are educated, trained, and disciplined, prepared to fulfill the grand purpose for which their powers were given them. Heavenly angels can unite with them in the work to be accomplished on earth.” EP 77.3

胜利者基督
阅读约翰福音 18:37。这节经文告诉我们基督为反击敌人的欺骗所做的工作是什么？耶稣是君王是什么意思？
Read John 18:37. What does this tell us about Christ’s work to counter the deceptions of the enemy? What does it mean that Jesus is King?
“耶稣生活的政府腐败而暴虐；到处都是明显的弊端——敲诈勒索、不宽容和残酷无情。然而救主并没有试图进行民事改革。他没有攻击国家的弊端，也没有谴责国家的敌人。他没有干涉当权者的权威或行政。他是我们的榜样，远离了地上的政府。这并不是因为他对人类的苦难漠不关心，而是因为补救办法不仅仅在于人为的和外在的措施。要有效，治疗必须触及每一个人，必须使人心焕然一新。DA 509.3
“The government under which Jesus lived was corrupt and oppressive; on every hand were crying abuses,—extortion, intolerance, and grinding cruelty. Yet the Saviour attempted no civil reforms. He attacked no national abuses, nor condemned the national enemies. He did not interfere with the authority or administration of those in power. He who was our example kept aloof from earthly governments. Not because He was indifferent to the woes of men, but because the remedy did not lie in merely human and external measures. To be efficient, the cure must reach men individually, and must regenerate the heart. DA 509.3
“基督的国度不是靠着法院、议会或立法议会的决议，也不是靠着世俗伟人的庇护而建立的，而是靠着圣灵的工作将基督的本性植入人类。凡接待他的，就是信他名的人，他就赐他们权柄，作上帝的儿女。这等人不是从血气生的，不是从情欲生的，也不是从人意生的，乃是从上帝生的。”（约翰福音 1:12-13）这是能使人类进步的唯一力量。而人类完成这项工作的手段就是教导和实践上帝的道。”（DA 509.4）
“Not by the decisions of courts or councils or legislative assemblies, not by the patronage of worldly great men, is the kingdom of Christ established, but by the implanting of Christ's nature in humanity through the work of the Holy Spirit. “As many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name: which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.” John 1:12, 13. Here is the only power that can work the uplifting of mankind. And the human agency for the accomplishment of this work is the teaching and practicing of the word of God.” DA 509.4
“彼拉多就问他说，这样，你是王吗？耶稣回答说，你说我是王。我为此而生，也为此来到世间，特为给真理作见证。凡属真理的人就听我的话。” DA 727.2
“Pilate therefore said unto Him, Art Thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Everyone that is of the truth heareth My voice.” DA 727.2
“基督断言，祂的圣言本身就是一把钥匙，能为那些愿意接受的人解开奥秘。它具有一种自我赞扬的力量，而这正是祂真理之国得以传播的秘密。祂希望彼拉多明白，只有通过接受和运用真理，他那败坏的本性才能得到重建。” DA 727.3
“Christ affirmed that His word was in itself a key which would unlock the mystery to those who were prepared to receive it. It had a self-commending power, and this was the secret of the spread of His kingdom of truth. He desired Pilate to understand that only by receiving and appropriating truth could his ruined nature be reconstructed.” DA 727.3

正义者与辩护者
阅读罗马书3：23-26和罗马书5：8。这些经文揭示了基督如何击败魔鬼的指控？
Read Romans 3:23–26 and Romans 5:8. What do these passages reveal about the way Christ defeats the allegations of the devil?
上帝已赐下丰盛的恩典，使信的人可以免于罪孽；因为整个天庭及其无限的资源都已供我们使用。我们要从救恩的泉源中汲取。基督是律法的终结，使一切信的人都得着义。我们自己是罪人；但在基督里我们是义人。上帝既因基督所归给我们的义使我们成为义人，就宣告我们为义，待我们为义。祂视我们为祂亲爱的儿女。基督与罪的权势作对，罪在哪里显多，恩典就更显多了。“我们既因信称义，就藉着我们的主耶稣基督得与上帝相和。我们又藉着他，因信得进入现在所站的这恩典中，并且欢欢喜喜盼望上帝的荣耀。”（罗马书 5:1-2）” 1SM 394.1
“Abundant grace has been provided that the believing soul may be kept free from sin; for all heaven, with its limitless resources, has been placed at our command. We are to draw from the well of salvation. Christ is the end of law for righteousness to everyone who believeth. In ourselves we are sinners; but in Christ we are righteous. Having made us righteous through the imputed righteousness of Christ, God pronounces us just, and treats us as just. He looks upon us as His dear children. Christ works against the power of sin, and where sin abounded, grace much more abounds. “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:1-2).” 1SM 394.1
“当基督低下头去死的时候，祂把撒但王国的支柱带到地上。祂战胜了撒但。 FLB 50.3
“When Christ bowed His head and died, He bore the pillars of Satan's kingdom with Him to the earth. He vanquished Satan. FLB 50.3
“基督甘愿被钉死在十字架上，虽然天军本可以拯救祂。天使与基督一同受难。上帝自己与基督同钉十字架；因为基督与父原为一。那些拒绝基督的人，那些不愿让这个人统治他们的人，选择把自己置于撒旦的统治之下，做他的奴隶。然而基督却为他们在加略山上献出了自己的生命。61” FLB 50.4
“Christ submitted to crucifixion, although the heavenly host could have delivered Him. The angels suffered with Christ. God Himself was crucified with Christ; for Christ was one with the Father. Those who reject Christ, those who will not have this man to rule over them, choose to place themselves under the rule of Satan, to do his work as his bondslaves. Yet for them Christ yielded up His life on Calvary.61” FLB 50.4
结合创世记3:15，阅读启示录12:10-12。这段经文如何阐明基督在十字架上胜利的宇宙意义？
Read Revelation 12:10–12 in light of Genesis 3:15. How does this passage shed light on the cosmic significance of Christ’s victory at the cross?
撒但看到自己的伪装被揭穿了。他的统治在未堕落的天使和全宇宙面前暴露无遗。他已暴露了自己的杀人本性。他流了上帝儿子的血，就与天上众生的同情心断绝了联系。从此他的活动就受到限制了。无论他采取什么态度，他都不能再等候天使从天庭而来，当着他们的面指控基督的弟兄们身穿黑暗的衣服，被罪恶玷污了。撒但与天上世界之间最后的同情纽带已经断绝了。 DA 761.2
Satan saw that his disguise was torn away. His administration was laid open before the unfallen angels and before the heavenly universe. He had revealed himself as a murderer. By shedding the blood of the Son of God, he had uprooted himself from the sympathies of the heavenly beings. Henceforth his work was restricted. Whatever attitude he might assume, he could no longer await the angels as they came from the heavenly courts, and before them accuse Christ's brethren of being clothed with the garments of blackness and the defilement of sin. The last link of sympathy between Satan and the heavenly world was broken. DA 761.2
但那时撒但还没有被毁灭。天使们那时还不明白这场大斗争所涉及的一切。所涉及的原则必须得到更充分的揭示。为了人类的缘故，撒但必须继续存在。人类和天使都必须看到光明之君与黑暗之君之间的对比。他必须选择他要侍奉谁。DA 761.3
Yet Satan was not then destroyed. The angels did not even then understand all that was involved in the great controversy. The principles at stake were to be more fully revealed. And for the sake of man, Satan's existence must be continued. Man as well as angels must see the contrast between the Prince of light and the prince of darkness. He must choose whom he will serve. DA 761.3

我爱人的歌
阅读以赛亚书 5：1-4。这些经文中说话的人是谁？以赛亚在谈论谁？葡萄园和葡萄园主人代表谁？葡萄园主人为葡萄园采取的行动有何意义？结果如何？
Read Isaiah 5:1–4. Who is speaking in these verses? Whom is Isaiah speaking about? Whom do the vineyard and vineyard owner represent? What is the significance of the actions of the vineyard owner on behalf of the vineyard? What is the result?
“主曾藉着摩西向祂的子民指出不忠的后果。他们若拒绝遵守祂的约，就必与上帝的生命隔绝，祂的福气就不能临到他们。有时，这些警告被人听从，丰富的福气就赐给犹太民族，并通过他们赐给周围的民族。但在他们的历史中，他们更常忘记上帝，忘记了他们作为祂代表的崇高权利。他们剥夺了祂要求他们作的服务，也剥夺了同胞的宗教指导和圣洁的榜样。他们想把他们所担任管家的葡萄园的果实据为己有。他们的贪婪和贪婪甚至使他们被异教徒所鄙视。这样，外邦世界就有机会误解上帝的品格和祂国度的律法。 PK 20.1
“The Lord had through Moses set before His people the result of unfaithfulness. By refusing to keep His covenant, they would cut themselves off from the life of God, and His blessing could not come upon them. At times these warnings were heeded, and rich blessings were bestowed upon the Jewish nation and through them upon surrounding peoples. But more often in their history they forgot God and lost sight of their high privilege as His representatives. They robbed Him of the service He required of them, and they robbed their fellow men of religious guidance and a holy example. They desired to appropriate to themselves the fruits of the vineyard over which they had been made stewards. Their covetousness and greed caused them to be despised even by the heathen. Thus the Gentile world was given occasion to misinterpret the character of God and the laws of His kingdom. PK 20.1
“上帝以慈父般的心肠，容忍祂的子民。祂以施恩和收回恩惠来恳求他们。祂耐心地将他们的罪摆在他们面前，忍耐地等待他们承认。祂差遣先知和使者，敦促他们向园户宣告祂的要求；但这些有辨识力和属灵能力的人不但没有受到欢迎，反而被当作敌人对待。园户迫害并杀害了他们。上帝又差遣了其他使者，但他们受到的待遇与第一个使者相同，只是园户表现出更坚定的仇恨。PK 21.1
“With a father's heart, God bore with His people. He pleaded with them by mercies given and mercies withdrawn. Patiently He set their sins before them and in forbearance waited for their acknowledgment. Prophets and messengers were sent to urge His claim upon the husbandmen; but, instead of being welcomed, these men of discernment and spiritual power were treated as enemies. The husbandmen persecuted and killed them. God sent still other messengers, but they received the same treatment as the first, only that the husbandmen showed still more determined hatred. PK 21.1
“在流放期间，上帝的恩宠撤回，使许多人悔改，然而，犹太人回到应许之地后，却重蹈前几代人的错误，与周边国家陷入政治冲突。上帝差遣先知来纠正当时的邪恶，他们也像以前的使者一样，受到怀疑和蔑视；因此，一个世纪又一个世纪，葡萄园的看守者越陷越深。PK 21.2
“The withdrawal of divine favor during the period of the Exile led many to repentance, yet after their return to the Land of Promise the Jewish people repeated the mistakes of former generations and brought themselves into political conflict with surrounding nations. The prophets whom God sent to correct the prevailing evils were received with the same suspicion and scorn that had been accorded the messengers of earlier times; and thus, from century to century, the keepers of the vineyard added to their guilt. PK 21.2
“神圣的园丁在巴勒斯坦山上栽种的那棵好葡萄树，却被以色列人所轻视，最后被扔到葡萄园的墙上；他们把它压伤，践踏，希望永远毁掉它。园丁把葡萄树拔出来，藏在他们看不见的地方。他又把它栽种在墙的另一边，树干再也看不见了。枝子垂在墙上，可以接枝在上面；但树干本身是人所不能触及或伤害的。PK 21.3
“The goodly vine planted by the divine Husbandman upon the hills of Palestine was despised by the men of Israel and was finally cast over the vineyard wall; they bruised it and trampled it under their feet and hoped that they had destroyed it forever. The Husbandman removed the vine and concealed it from their sight. Again He planted it, but on the other side of the wall and in such a manner that the stock was no longer visible. The branches hung over the wall, and grafts might be joined to it; but the stem itself was placed beyond the power of men to reach or harm. PK 21.3
“对今日上帝在地上的教会——祂葡萄园的看守者——具有特殊价值的是先知们所传的劝诫和劝诫信息，这些先知们已阐明了祂为人类所定的永恒旨意。在先知的教训中，祂对失丧的人类的爱和祂拯救他们的计划都清楚地显明出来。以色列蒙召的故事，他们的成功和失败，他们恢复神的恩宠，他们拒绝葡萄园的主人，以及由一群美好的余民执行历代计划的故事，他们将实现所有圣约的应许——这些是过去几个世纪以来上帝使者向祂教会传达的主题。而今日上帝向祂教会——向那些作为忠心的农夫占据祂葡萄园的人——所传的信息正是通过古代先知所传的：PK 22.1
“Of special value to God's church on earth today—the keepers of His vineyard—are the messages of counsel and admonition given through the prophets who have made plain His eternal purpose in behalf of mankind. In the teachings of the prophets, His love for the lost race and His plan for their salvation are clearly revealed. The story of Israel's call, of their successes and failures, of their restoration to divine favor, of their rejection of the Master of the vineyard, and of the carrying out of the plan of the ages by a goodly remnant to whom are to be fulfilled all the covenant promises—this has been the theme of God's messengers to His church throughout the centuries that have passed. And today God's message to His church—to those who are occupying His vineyard as faithful husbandmen—is none other than that spoken through the prophet of old: PK 22.1
“你们要向她唱歌，说，有葡萄园出产红酒。我耶和华必看守这园，时时浇灌，昼夜看守，免得有人损害。”以赛亚书 27:2-3。PK 22.2
“‘Sing ye unto her, A vineyard of red wine. I the Lord do keep it; I will water it every moment: lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.’ Isaiah 27:2-3. PK 22.2
“以色列当仰望上帝。葡萄园的主人现在正从各国各族的人中收集祂久已等待的宝贵果实。不久祂就要来到祂自己的家园；在那喜乐的日子，祂对以色列家的永恒旨意将最终实现。祂必使雅各的后裔生根；以色列必发芽开花，遍满世界，结出果实。”第 6 节。PK 22.3
“Let Israel hope in God. The Master of the vineyard is even now gathering from among men of all nations and peoples the precious fruits for which He has long been waiting. Soon He will come unto His own; and in that glad day His eternal purpose for the house of Israel will finally be fulfilled. “He shall cause them that come of Jacob to take root: Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.” Verse 6.” PK 22.3

基督的葡萄园寓言
阅读马太福音 21:33-39，并特别思考以赛亚书 5:4 中的问题。除了他所做的以外，他还能做什么呢？
Read Matthew 21:33–39 with particularly the question of Isaiah 5:4 in mind. What more could He do than what He has done?
“基督说：‘有一个家主，栽了一个葡萄园，周围圈上篱笆，园中挖了一个榨酒池，盖了一座楼，租给园户，就往外国去了。’” COL 284.2
“‘There was a certain householder,’ Christ said, “which planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and digged a winepress in it, and built a tower, and let it out to husbandmen, and went into a far country.” COL 284.2
“先知以赛亚曾这样描述这片葡萄园：“我要为我所爱的唱歌，一首我所爱的歌，论到他葡萄园的事。我所爱的有葡萄园，在肥美的山冈上。他用篱笆围住园子，捡去石头，栽种上等的葡萄树，在园中盖了一座楼，又凿了一个榨酒池，指望结好葡萄。”（以赛亚书 5:1-2）COL 284.3
“A description of this vineyard is given by the prophet Isaiah: “Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching His vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill; and He fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein; and He looked that it should bring forth grapes.” Isaiah 5:1-2. COL 284.3
“农夫在旷野中拣选一块地，用篱笆围起来，清理土地，耕种，栽种上等的葡萄树，期望获得丰收。这块地比未开垦的荒地优越，他期望藉着展示他耕种的劳苦和辛劳的成果来荣耀自己。照样，上帝从世上拣选了一族人，要受基督的训练和教育。先知说：“万军之耶和华的葡萄园就是以色列家，他所喜爱的树就是犹大人。”（以赛亚书5:7）上帝已赐给这族人极大的特权，从他丰盛的恩惠中大大赐福给他们。他希望他们结出果实来荣耀他。他们要彰显他国度的原则。在堕落邪恶的世界中，他们要代表上帝的品格。COL 285.1
“The husbandman chooses a piece of land from the wilderness; he fences, clears, and tills it, and plants it with choice vines, expecting a rich harvest. This plot of ground, in its superiority to the uncultivated waste, he expects to do him honor by showing the results of his care and toil in its cultivation. So God had chosen a people from the world to be trained and educated by Christ. The prophet says, “The vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His pleasant plant.” Isaiah 5:7. Upon this people God had bestowed great privileges, blessing them richly from His abundant goodness. He looked for them to honor Him by yielding fruit. They were to reveal the principles of His kingdom. In the midst of a fallen, wicked world they were to represent the character of God. COL 285.1
“作为主的葡萄园，他们所要结出的果子与异教国家所结的果子完全不同。这些拜偶像的民族已经沉溺于作恶。暴力、罪恶、贪婪、压迫和最腐败的行为，都毫无节制地纵容着。邪恶、堕落和苦难都是腐朽之树的果实。上帝所栽种的葡萄树所结的果子，却与此形成鲜明的对比。COL 285.2
“As the Lord's vineyard they were to produce fruit altogether different from that of the heathen nations. These idolatrous peoples had given themselves up to work wickedness. Violence and crime, greed, oppression, and the most corrupt practices, were indulged without restraint. Iniquity, degradation, and misery were the fruits of the corrupt tree. In marked contrast was to be the fruit borne on the vine of God's planting. COL 285.2
“犹太民族有权利代表上帝向摩西所启示的品格。耶和华应允摩西的祷告：“求你显出你的荣耀给我看”，他应许说：“我要显我一切的恩慈在你面前经过。”（出埃及记33:18-19）“耶和华在他面前宣告说：‘耶和华，耶和华，是有怜悯有恩典的上帝，不轻易发怒，并且有丰盛的慈爱和诚实。为千万人存留慈爱，赦免罪孽、过犯和罪恶。’”（出埃及记34:6-7）这正是上帝希望他的子民结出的果子。他们应当在品格的纯洁、生活的圣洁、怜悯、仁爱和同情中表明“耶和华的律法全备，能苏醒人心。”（诗篇19:7）COL 285.3
“It was the privilege of the Jewish nation to represent the character of God as it had been revealed to Moses. In answer to the prayer of Moses, “Show me Thy glory,” the Lord promised, “I will make all My goodness pass before thee.” Exodus 33:18-19. “And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin.” Exodus 34:6-7. This was the fruit that God desired from His people. In the purity of their characters, in the holiness of their lives, in their mercy and loving-kindness and compassion, they were to show that “the law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul.” Psalm 19:7. COL 285.3
“上帝的目的是要通过犹太民族将丰盛的福惠传给万民。上帝要通过以色列为将祂的光辉传遍全世界铺平道路。世界各国因循腐败的习俗，失去了对上帝的认识。然而上帝本着他的仁慈，并没有将他们消灭。他定意要给他们机会通过他的教会来认识他。他希望通过他子民所启示的原则，成为在人身上恢复上帝道德形象的手段。COL 286.1
“Through the Jewish nation it was God's purpose to impart rich blessings to all peoples. Through Israel the way was to be prepared for the diffusion of His light to the whole world. The nations of the world, through following corrupt practices, had lost the knowledge of God. Yet in His mercy God did not blot them out of existence. He purposed to give them opportunity for becoming acquainted with Him through His church. He designed that the principles revealed through His people should be the means of restoring the moral image of God in man. COL 286.1
“正是为了实现这一目的，上帝才呼召亚伯拉罕脱离他那拜偶像的族群，并吩咐他住在迦南地。他说：“我必叫你成为大国，我必赐福给你，叫你的名为大，你也要叫别人得福。”（创世记 12:2） COL 286.2
“It was for the accomplishment of this purpose that God called Abraham out from his idolatrous kindred and bade him dwell in the land of Canaan. “I will make of thee a great nation,” He said, “and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing.” Genesis 12:2. COL 286.2
“亚伯拉罕的后裔雅各和他的后裔被带到埃及，以便在这个强大而邪恶的国家中彰显上帝之国的原则。约瑟的正直和他为保护全埃及人民的生命所做的奇妙工作，代表了基督的生活。摩西和许多其他人都是上帝的见证人。” COL 286.3
“The descendants of Abraham, Jacob and his posterity, were brought down to Egypt that in the midst of that great and wicked nation they might reveal the principles of God's kingdom. The integrity of Joseph and his wonderful work in preserving the lives of the whole Egyptian people were a representation of the life of Christ. Moses and many others were witnesses for God.” COL 286.3

为上帝之名辩护
结合以赛亚书 5:3-4 阅读罗马书 3:1-4。这教导我们，上帝自己在宇宙冲突中得到证明。除了他已经做的以外，他还能做什么？
Read Romans 3:1–4 in light of Isaiah 5:3-4. What does this teach about God Himself being vindicated in the cosmic conflict? What more could He do than what He has done?
“‘除了我所做过的以外，我还能为我的葡萄园做些什么呢？’上帝问道。“为什么我指望它结出葡萄，却结出野葡萄呢？”当上帝在季节呼唤果实时，犹太人惊讶地发现他竟然期待这样的事情。他们自称是世界上最虔诚的人。他们一直被聘为真理的守护者和施舍者，他们本应使用主的财物来祝福和造福世界。但他们滥用了派给他们的使者；当上帝派他的儿子，继承遗产的继承人时，他们把他举在加略山的十字架上。有一天，他们会看到他们顽固不化的结果。再也听不到无限爱的恳求；但羔羊的愤怒，他们所蔑视的力量，将像岩石一样落在他们身上，把他们碾成粉末。RH 1900 年 7 月 17 日，第 16 段
“‘What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it?’ God asks. “Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes brought it forth wild grapes?” When God called for fruit in its season, the Jewish people were surprised that he expected anything of the kind. They professed to be the most pious people on the earth. They had been employed as guardians and almoners of truth, and they should have used the Lord's goods to bless and benefit the world. But they abused the messengers sent to them; and when God sent his Son, the heir to the inheritance, they lifted him upon the cross of Calvary. One day they will see the result of their impenitence. No longer will be heard the pleadings of infinite love; but the wrath of the Lamb, the power they defied, will fall upon them as a rock, grinding them to powder. RH July 17, 1900, par. 16
“‘那么犹太人有什么好处呢？割礼有什么益处呢？各方面都大有益处，最主要的是，因为上帝的圣言托付给他们。”但是，本来应该是他们最大的祝福却变成了他们的谴责，因为他们不顺服、不知感恩、不圣洁。” RH 1900 年 7 月 17 日，第 17 段
“‘What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit is there of circumcision? Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God.” But that which would have been their greatest blessing became their condemnation, because they were disobedient, unthankful, unholy.” RH July 17, 1900, par. 17
阅读启示录 15：3 和启示录 19：1-6。这些经文教导了上帝最终如何证明自己的名誉？除了他已经做的以外，他还能做什么？
Read Revelation 15:3 and Revelation 19:1–6. What do these passages teach about the vindication of God’s name in the end? What more could He do than what He has done?
“这场旷日持久的斗争中，有关真理与谬误的一切问题，现在都已明了。叛逆的结果，废弃上帝律法的恶果，已暴露在一切受造的有识之士眼前。撒但的统治与上帝的统治形成鲜明对比，已向全宇宙揭露。撒但自己的所作所为已定了他的罪。上帝的智慧、正义和良善已得到充分的证明。可见，上帝在这场大斗争中所做的一切，都是为了他子民的永恒利益和他所创造的一切世界的利益。“耶和华啊，祢一切所造的都要称颂祢；祢的圣民也要称颂祢。”（诗篇 145:10）罪恶的历史将永远作证，证明上帝律法的存在与他所创造的一切生灵的幸福息息相关。鉴于这场大斗争的一切事实，全宇宙，不论是忠诚的还是叛逆的，都一致宣布：“圣者之王啊，祢的道途义哉，诚哉。”GC 670.3
“Every question of truth and error in the long-standing controversy has now been made plain. The results of rebellion, the fruits of setting aside the divine statutes, have been laid open to the view of all created intelligences. The working out of Satan's rule in contrast with the government of God has been presented to the whole universe. Satan's own works have condemned him. God's wisdom, His justice, and His goodness stand fully vindicated. It is seen that all His dealings in the great controversy have been conducted with respect to the eternal good of His people and the good of all the worlds that He has created. “All Thy works shall praise Thee, O Lord; and Thy saints shall bless Thee.” Psalm 145:10. The history of sin will stand to all eternity as a witness that with the existence of God's law is bound up the happiness of all the beings He has created. With all the facts of the great controversy in view, the whole universe, both loyal and rebellious, with one accord declare: “Just and true are Thy ways, Thou King of saints.” GC 670.3
在宇宙尚未完全显现之前，父与子为人类所作的伟大牺牲已经显明。时候已到，基督将占据祂应有的地位，并被荣耀超过一切执政的、掌权的和一切有名的。祂忍受十字架的痛苦，轻视羞辱，是为了祂面前的喜乐——祂可以带领许多儿子进入荣耀。虽然悲痛和羞辱大得难以想象，但喜乐和荣耀却更大。祂看着得救的人，他们按照祂自己的形象焕然一新，每个人的心灵都带有神的完美印记，每个人的面容都反映出他们君王的模样。祂在他们身上看到了祂灵魂劳苦的结果，祂心满意足。然后，祂用一种能传到义人和恶人众人耳中的声音宣告：“看哪，这是我的血所买来的！我为这些人受苦，为这些人死，使他们可以永远住在我面前。”宝座周围穿白衣的人便发出赞美之歌：‘被杀的羔羊是配得权柄、丰富、智慧、能力、尊贵、荣耀、颂赞的。’”启示录5:12。GC 671.1
“Before the universe has been clearly presented the great sacrifice made by the Father and the Son in man's behalf. The hour has come when Christ occupies His rightful position and is glorified above principalities and powers and every name that is named. It was for the joy that was set before Him—that He might bring many sons unto glory—that He endured the cross and despised the shame. And inconceivably great as was the sorrow and the shame, yet greater is the joy and the glory. He looks upon the redeemed, renewed in His own image, every heart bearing the perfect impress of the divine, every face reflecting the likeness of their King. He beholds in them the result of the travail of His soul, and He is satisfied. Then, in a voice that reaches the assembled multitudes of the righteous and the wicked, He declares: “Behold the purchase of My blood! For these I suffered, for these I died, that they might dwell in My presence throughout eternal ages.” And the song of praise ascends from the white-robed ones about the throne: ‘Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.’” Revelation 5:12. GC 671.1

进一步的思考
“上帝论以色列人说：‘我栽你为上等的葡萄树，全是真种，你怎向我变为外邦葡萄树的坏枝子呢？’”耶利米书2:21。“以色列是虚弱的葡萄树，自己结果实。”（何西阿书10:1）“耶路撒冷的居民和犹大人哪，现在请你们在我与我的葡萄园中断定是非。我为我葡萄园所行的，还有什么可行呢？我指望结好葡萄，怎么倒结了野葡萄呢？AA 15.2
“Of Israel God declared: “I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto Me?” Jeremiah 2:21. “Israel is an empty vine, he bringeth forth fruit unto himself.” Hosea 10:1. “And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt Me and My vineyard. What could have been done more to My vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes? AA 15.2
“‘现在我要告诉你们，我要向我葡萄园怎样行。我必撤去篱笆，使它被吞灭；拆毁墙垣，使它被践踏；我必使它荒废；不再修理，不再刨削，荆棘和蒺藜却要长出来。我必命云不降雨在其上。万军之耶和华的葡萄园就是以色列家，他所喜爱的树就是犹大人。他指望的是公平，谁知倒有欺压；指望的是公义，谁知倒有冤声。’以赛亚书5:3-7。“有病的，你们没有养壮；有病的，你们没有医治；受伤的，你们没有缠裹；被赶出去的，你们没有领回；失落的，你们没有寻找；竟用强暴和残暴辖制他们。’以西结书34:4。 AA 15.3
“‘And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to My vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down: and I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah His pleasant plant: and He looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.’ Isaiah 5:3-7. “The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them.” Ezekiel 34:4. AA 15.3
“犹太领袖们自以为太聪明，不需要教导；太正直，不需要救恩；太尊贵，不需要基督所赐的尊荣。救主转离他们，把他们所滥用的特权和所忽视的工作托付给别人。上帝的荣耀必须彰显，祂的圣言必须确立。基督的国度必须在世上建立。上帝的救恩必须在旷野的城市中广为人知；门徒们被呼召去做犹太领袖们未能完成的工作。” AA 16.1
“The Jewish leaders thought themselves too wise to need instruction, too righteous to need salvation, too highly honored to need the honor that comes from Christ. The Saviour turned from them to entrust to others the privileges they had abused and the work they had slighted. God's glory must be revealed, His word established. Christ's kingdom must be set up in the world. The salvation of God must be made known in the cities of the wilderness; and the disciples were called to do the work that the Jewish leaders had failed to do.” AA 16.1
