1七 因此,彼得告诉我们,“当在你们寄居的时日中,凭着敬畏行事为人”(彼前一17);他也说我们需要“谦卑,服在神大能的手下,使祂到了时候,可以叫你们升高”(五6);甘愿让神使人降卑的手在祂的管教里叫我们卑微,乃是先决条件,让神那使人升高的手叫我们升高,并叫我们享受三一神自己作那在谦卑信徒里面繁增之生命的供应(5,一2四10)。

2八 敬畏神就是尊崇神,在每件事上顾到并尊重神(诗八六11赛十一2箴一7三5~10),绝不忘记祂是创造我们的奇妙之神(赛四三7);敬畏神使我们停止作恶;也会使我们感受别人的苦难,并向他们施怜悯,动怜恤。

3彼前一17 你们既称那不偏待人,按各人行为审判的为父,就当在你们寄居的时日中,凭着敬畏行事为人。
31 Pet. 1:17 And if you call as Father the One who without respect of persons judges according to each one’s work, pass the time of your sojourning in fear.
4赛四三7 就是凡称为我名下的人,是我为自己的荣耀所创造、所塑造的,更是我所造作的。
4Isa. 43:7 Everyone who is called by My name, whom I have created, formed, and even made for My glory.
5尼布甲尼撒的事例教导我们,我们需要小心,不思想自己的成就。尼布甲尼撒所建的王宫极其宏伟。当他在王宫顶上行走时,他〔变得〕骄傲。……这该警告我们,我们的成就可能使我们骄傲,这会引进神的审判。神在尼布甲尼撒身上的审判使他减为无有,所以他能论到主说,“地上所有的居民,都算为虚无;但在天上的万军和地上的居民中,祂照自己的意旨行事;无人能拦住祂的手,或对祂说,你作什么呢?”(但四35)在但以理四章三十七节,尼布甲尼撒继续说,“祂能使那行动骄傲的降为卑。”伯沙撒本该从尼布甲尼撒的经历学功课;然而,他没有学得功课,结果受了亏损(但以理书生命读经,五一页)。
5The case of Nebuchadnezzar teaches us that we need to be careful and not consider what we have achieved. The palace built by Nebuchadnezzar was vast. When he took a walk on the roof of that palace, he became proud… This should warn us that our achievement may make us proud, and this may usher in God’s judgment. God’s judgment upon Nebuchadnezzar reduced him to nothing. This was the reason he could say of the Lord, “All the inhabitants of earth are considered as nothing, / But He does according to His will in the army of heaven / And among the inhabitants of the earth; / And there is no one who can resist His hand / Or say to Him, What are You doing?” (Dan. 4:35). In 4:37 concerning the Lord, Nebuchadnezzar went on to say, “He is able to abase those who walk in pride.” Belshazzar should have learned the lesson from Nebuchadnezzar’s experience; however, he did not learn the lesson and suffered as a result. (Life-study of Daniel, p. 43)

6我信当伯沙撒和他的大臣在荒淫放荡时,玛代的军队已经逼近那城。但以理讲解了那文本后不久,玛代的军队就进入城和王宫,杀了伯沙撒。因此,但以理五章三十一节总结说,“玛代人大利乌,约六十二岁,取了迦勒底国。”那就是巴比伦帝国的结束。
6I believe that while Belshazzar and his lords were engaging in debauchery, the Median army was approaching the city. Soon after Daniel interpreted the writing, the Median army entered the city and the palace and killed Belshazzar. Thus, Daniel 5:31 concludes, “Darius the Mede received the kingdom at about the age of sixty-two.” That ended the Babylonian Empire.
7伯沙撒的光景应当给我们深刻的印象。我们都需要看见,我们若从神学到功课,就必须严肃地看重所学的。我们若轻看任何功课,就要受亏损(但以理书生命读经,五○至五一页)。
7Belshazzar’s situation should make a deep impression on us. We all need to see that if we have received some lesson from God, we must regard that very seriously. If we disregard any lesson, we will suffer. (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 43-44)
8过正确为人生活的第一个原则是尊崇神。……尊崇神就是在每件事上顾到并尊重神,绝不忘记祂是创造我们的奇妙之神。我们要发脾气时,该尊崇神。尊崇神会使我们停止作恶。尊崇神也会使我们感受别人的苦难,并向他们施怜悯,动怜恤。
8The first principle for man to live a proper human life is revering God…To revere God is to consider and regard Him in everything, never forgetting that He is the wonderful God who has created us. When we are about to lose our temper, we should revere God. Revering God stops us from doing evil. Revering God also causes us to be touched by the sufferings of others and to show mercy and compassion to them.
9即使我生在基督教里,在我相信主以前,我也从不尊崇神。但从我得救那天起,我就开始尊崇神。在每件事上我都尊敬并尊重神。那在我的生活中引起很大的改变。
9Even though I was born into Christianity, before I believed in the Lord Jesus I never revered God. But from the day I got saved, I began to revere God. In everything I respected and regarded God. That caused a great change in my life.
10尊崇神就是敬畏神。敬畏耶和华是知识和智慧的开端;认识至圣者便是聪明(箴一7九10十五33上)。知识、智慧和聪明都是从神而来。我们若敬畏祂,尊崇祂,这些就会成为我们的产业。我们若寻找智慧如寻找银子,搜求智慧如搜求隐藏的珍宝,我们就懂得敬畏耶和华,得以认识神(二4~5)。敬畏耶和华就要恨恶邪恶(八13)。敬畏耶和华使人日子加多;但恶人的年岁必被减少(十27)。行动正直的,敬畏耶和华;行事乖僻的,却藐视祂(十四2)。敬畏耶和华的,有坚固的倚靠,他的儿女也有避难所。敬畏耶和华是生命的泉源,可以使人离开死亡的网罗(26~27)。少有财宝,敬畏耶和华,强如多有财宝,烦乱不安(十五16)。我们若在敬畏耶和华上富足,就有平安。
10To revere God is to fear God. The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding (Prov. 1:7; 9:10; 15:33a). Knowledge, wisdom, and understanding come from God. If we fear Him, revering Him, these will be our possession. If we seek wisdom like silver and search for her like hidden treasures, then we will understand the fear of Jehovah and find the knowledge of God (2:4-5). The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil (8:13). The fear of Jehovah prolongs days, but the years of the wicked will be shortened (10:27). He who walks in his uprightness fears Jehovah, but he who is perverse in his ways despises Him (14:2). In the fear of Jehovah is strong confidence, and his children will have a place of refuge. The fear of Jehovah is a fountain of life, that one may turn aside from the snares of death (vv. 26-27). Better is a little with the fear of Jehovah, than great treasure and turmoil with it (15:16). If we are rich in the fear of Jehovah, we will have peace.
11敬畏耶和华是智慧的训诲,尊荣以前必有谦卑(16、33)。因怜悯真实,罪孽得蒙遮盖;因敬畏耶和华,人就远离恶事(十六6)。敬畏耶和华,使人得生命;他必安居知足,不遭祸患(十九23)(箴言生命读经,一一至一二、三三页)。
11The fear of Jehovah is the instruction of wisdom, and humility comes before honor (v. 33). By lovingkindness and truth iniquity is expiated, and by the fear of Jehovah men depart from evil (16:6). The fear of Jehovah leads to life, and he who has it will lodge in contentment; he will not be visited with evil (19:23). (Life-study of Proverbs, pp. 7-8, 24)

今日要点
13主题:凭着敬畏,过尊崇神的基督徒生活
13
141.从神行政审判事例中学教训:
14
15A.尼布甲尼撒的事例教导我们,我们需要小心,不要思想自己的成就,我们的成就可能使我们骄傲,这会引进神的审判,借着审判,尼布甲尼撒能够认识神,高举神,并使人降卑,伯沙撒本该从他先祖学功课,却没有学到,结果瘦了亏损;伯沙撒的光景应当给我们一个深刻的印象,我们若从神学功课,就必严肃的看重,使我们能够谦卑。
15
16B.彼前一17说,『你们既称那不偏待人,按各人行为审判的为父,就当在你们寄居的时日中,凭着敬畏行事为人』,他也说我们需要谦卑,甘愿让神使谦卑的手在祂的管教里叫我们卑微,乃是先决条件,让神那使人升高的手叫我们升高,并叫我们享受三一神自己作那在谦卑信徒里面繁增之生命的供应。
16
172.凭着敬畏,过尊崇神的基督徒生活:
17
18A.彼得这里说到的敬畏神,一面就是怕得罪神,另一面就是尊崇神,在每件事上顾到并尊重神,绝不忘记祂是创造我们的奇妙之神,在赛四三7说,『就是凡称为我名下的人,是我为自己的荣耀所创造、所塑造的,更是我所造作的』,神是创造者,我们是受造者,我们不仅该怕神,必且该因害怕有自己的成分和爱好,而无法尊崇神。
18
19B.过正确为人生活的第一个原则,就是尊崇神,尊崇神可以说,就是敬畏神,敬畏神使我们停止作恶,也会使我们感受别人的苦难,并向他们施怜悯,动怜恤,敬畏耶和华是智慧的开端,我们若敬畏神,尊崇神,知识、智慧就会成为我们的产业,因着我们时常不敬畏神,不尊崇神,神就安排管教、审判来对付我们,使我们恢复到正确为人的生活。
19
20应用:我们过基督徒生活和召会生活,需要操练在每一件事上顾到神,尊崇神,要发脾气时,该尊崇神,使我们停止作恶,我们决定时间的安排,是否要顾到福音的传扬,或顾到小羊的牧养时,也该尊崇神,好使神能借着我们能够向人施怜悯,动怜恤。
