God’s books!
上帝的书！
From Spurgeon’s sermon, “Substitution”
出自司布真的讲道《替代》
A BOOK is the expression of the thoughts of the writer.
一本书是作者思想的表达。
The book of ‘nature’ is an expression of the thoughts of God.
“自然”这本书是上帝思想的表达。
We have God’s ‘terrible’ thoughts in the thunder and lightning;
我们在雷电中看到上帝”可畏”的思想；
God’s ‘loving’ thoughts in the sunshine and the balmy breeze;
在阳光和和煦的微风中看到上帝”慈爱”的思想；
God’s ‘bounteous, prudent, careful’ thoughts in the
waving harvest and in the ripening meadow.
在摇曳的庄稼和成熟的草场中看到上帝”丰盛、谨慎、细心”的思想。
We have God’s ‘brilliant’ thoughts in the wondrous scenes
which are beheld from mountain-top and valley;
我们在从山巅和山谷所见的奇妙景象中看到上帝”辉煌”的思想；
and we have God’s ‘most sweet and pleasant’ thoughts
of beauty in the little flowers that blossom at our feet.
在我们脚边绽放的小花中看到上帝”最甜美愉悦”的美丽思想。
Now, God’s book of ‘grace’ is just like his book of nature;
it is his thoughts written out.
现在，上帝”恩典”的书就像祂自然的书一样；这是祂思想的书面表达。
This great book, the Bible, this most precious volume is the heart
of God made legible; it is the gold of God’s love, beaten out into
gold leaf, so that therewith our thoughts might be plated, and we
also might have golden, good, and holy thoughts concerning him.
这本伟大的书，圣经，这最珍贵的卷册是上帝那可以辨读的心；这是上帝之爱的黄金，被锤打成金叶，好使我们的思想能被包裹，我们也能对祂有金般贵重、良善和圣洁的思想。
