The book for the afflicted
受难者之书
(Octavius Winslow)奥克塔维尔斯·温斯洛
“Before I was afflicted I went astray – but now I obey Your Word.” Psalm 119:67
“我未受苦以先走迷了路，现在却遵守你的话。”诗篇119:67
The Bible is the book for the afflicted. We fly to it in times of adversity. It is then that we . . .
圣经是受苦之人的书。在逆境时我们投向它。正是在那时，我们…
read it more attentively,
更专注地阅读它，
counsel with it more closely,
更亲密地与它商议，
understand it more clearly,
更清晰地理解它，
relish it more sweetly, and
更甘甜地品味它，并且
receive it into the heart more experimentally, as the engrafted Word.
更深刻地将它作为接枝之道领受到心中。
Affliction illuminates the Bible – as though a new book had been composed – or another constellation in the spiritual hemisphere had burst upon the telescope of faith!
苦难照亮了圣经 – 仿佛一本新书被创作出来 – 或是在信仰的望远镜中，灵性天空中突现出另一片星座！
We know more of the Lord Jesus through one sanctified affliction – than by all the treatises the human pen ever wrote!
通过一次圣化的苦难，我们对主耶稣的认识，胜过人笔所写的所有论著！
Welcome whatever makes you more acquainted with God!
欢迎一切使你更认识上帝的事物！
Despise nothing that will deepen your intimacy with Jesus.
不要轻视任何能加深你与耶稣亲密关系的事物。
Welcome the cross – though it may be heavy!
迎接十字架 – 尽管它可能沉重！
Welcome the cup – though it may be bitter. Receive it as a blessing sent to you from your Father – receive it as a heavenly message to your soul.
欢迎那杯 – 尽管它可能苦涩。将它视为来自天父的祝福 – 将它作为给你灵魂的天国信息来接受。
