中登山宝训(客观性的讲论),马太福音 5–7 章。显明神的国是旧约时代的目标与实质,而国度的成全是新约时代的终点与冠冕;提出犹太教与基督教之间衔接过渡的交点。
EN[In the Sermon on the Mount, which is the moral miracle of the gospels, we have simply, sublimely set before us the celestial conception of noble character, noble living, in man on the earth. It is spoken—the world itself has to recognize this—without the least effort, in words as simple as a child's, though more majestic than those of kings. It is radically diverse, not only from the prevalent customs of mankind, but from the choicest maxims of enlightened human prudence; so that the highest and purest human ethics only climb toward and imperfectly attain the heights on which it moves without effort. It has neither been reached, nor is it fortified, by large discussion, subtle analysis, the marshaling of rare philosophical precepts. It is only announced, as too evident in itself to need support, for spirits attuned to celestial instruction. It is plainly the customary thought of the worlds from which child and angels had come, put into forms of human speech, and sent abroad to shed its moral splendor on mankind. So the very speech of the earth is glorified by it; the life of the world takes higher light and nobler impulse from the summit-thought of spheres beyond sight, concerning the beauty of duty, the ultimate achievement of moral greatness, the blessedness of self-sacrifice. Not otherwise can this great discourse for the world, from the Horns of Hattin, be rightly understood. — R. S. Storrs.]
中【摘录】登山宝训是福音书中的道德奇迹。在其中,那关于人在地上高贵品格、高贵生活的属天构想,被简朴而崇高地陈明在我们面前。它的宣讲——连世界自己也不得不承认——毫不费力,用词简单如孩童的话,却比君王的言语更威严。它与人类通行的习俗根本不同,甚至与开明的人类智虑最精粹的格言也根本不同;以致最高最纯的人类伦理,也只能朝着它毫不费力地行走于其上的高度攀爬,且攀之不及。它既不是靠宏论、精析、罗列稀世哲学箴规达到的,也不靠这些来设防;它只是被宣告出来——对于调准了心弦聆听属天教诲的灵魂,它自明得无需任何支撑。它分明就是孩童与天使所来自的诸世界里的寻常心思,被放进人类语言的形式,播散出来,把道德的光辉洒向人类。于是地上的言语因它得了荣耀;世界的生活从那目不能及之诸天的峰顶思想,领受更高的光和更尊贵的动力——关乎本分之美、道德伟大的终极成就、舍己的福分。若不这样理解,这篇从哈廷双角山发出、面向全世界的大讲论,便无法得到正解。——R.

EN[…Hymns reverberate in great harmonies, or rise into rapture, in their tribute to Him. The sacrament which commemorates Him becomes not a burden of obligation, not a dictate of tradition, but a spiritual feast, in which the soul related to Him finds in conference with Him inward uplift and delight. The church, in which His mission is set forth, and in which His spirit is revealed, becomes the very portal of paradise. In this faith in Christ, and in the realms of superior life which He exhibits, has been, and is, and is to be, the true and vital unity of the church—a unity in itself, a unity with that enthroned above. — R. S. Storrs.]
中【摘录(前文在扫描中缺失)】……颂赞他的诗歌,或在宏大的和声中回荡,或升腾为狂喜。纪念他的圣礼,不再是义务的重担、传统的指令,而成为属灵的筵席——与他相连的灵魂在其中与他交谈,得着内里的提升与喜乐。彰显他使命、显明他之灵的教会,成为乐园的门廊。教会真实而有生命力的合一——自身的合一、与在上者坐宝座者的合一——过去在、现在在、将来也必在于这信基督之信,在于他所展示的更高生命之境。——R. S. 斯托尔斯(Storrs)

EN[The miracles of Christ are not to be interpreted as exhibitions of human force, however intensified, however exalted. They are unaccountable, perhaps unbelievable, if so understood. But according to the narrative of the gospels, they are simply exhibitions of appropriate heavenly powers, working for an interval on the earth, and working to bless. So they appear as spontaneous, natural, to Him by whom they are performed, or from whom they emanate—as natural as speech is, or breathing, to you and me. They set forth powers surpassing ours, because belonging to spheres and persons of a celestial supremacy; even as, on a lower range, the highest eloquence, art, poetry, intuitive skill, show the powers of rarely organized minds, of cultured genius, revealed in effects which to common men appear inconceivable. Miracles, like the Master's, belong essentially to His personality, and are germane to the superior realms from which He had come. They are the illuminating points of contact where the life of such realms touches life on the earth; and we cannot but find in them certain prophecies of powers altogether surpassing our present, but with which we may be entrusted if at last we arise to those spheres. — R. S. Storrs.]
中【摘录】基督的神迹不可解释为人类力量的展示——无论那力量怎样强化、怎样拔高;若这样理解,神迹便无从索解、甚至无从置信。但按福音书的叙述,神迹不过是相称的属天权能的流露:这权能在地上作工一段时期,作工为要赐福。所以在施行神迹的那一位——或说神迹从他流溢而出的那一位——看来,神迹是自发的、自然的,自然得如同你我说话呼吸一般。神迹显出超乎我们的能力,因为它们属于有属天至高性的境界与位格;正如在较低的层面上,最高的雄辩、艺术、诗歌、直觉的技艺,显出禀赋卓异的心智与深造之天才的能力——其成果在常人看来不可思议。像夫子这样的神迹,本质上属于他的位格,又与他所来自的更高之境同质相通。它们是那等境界的生命与地上生命相触之处的发光点;我们不能不从中看出某种预言——预示着远超我们现今、但当我们终于升入那等境界时或可受托的权能。——R. S. 斯托尔斯(Storrs)

EN[In the entire character of the Christ, the beauty of which even infidels confess, it is still the heavenly temper which walks before us through occasions and incidents of an earthly experience. By admission of all, it is a unique character in history: never arrogant, never petulant, never proud; gentle, patient, full of purity while full of authority; tranquil in all emergencies, tender toward all needs, ready for utmost endurance and self-sacrifice; always conscious of intimate, personal fellowship with God, and, amid whatever outward perils or seeming discomfitures, holding profound blessedness in it; a character, too, which sheds upon others the most illuminating, uplifting influence ever known in the world. Supremely placid, it is also supremely intense. It sets before the world the matchless ideal of moral perfection, in the humblest circumstances and under the impact of incessant hostilities; and it shows in itself no element of penitence, while always demanding that in others as the prime axiom in moral integrity. Only once has such a character appeared in history.
中【摘录】在基督的全部品格里——连不信者也承认其美——行走在我们眼前、穿过尘世境遇与事变的,依然是那属天的性情。众所公认,这是历史上独一无二的品格:从不傲慢,从不使气,从不骄矜;温柔、忍耐,满有纯洁又满有权柄;临一切危局而安稳,向一切困乏者存温柔,随时准备至极的坚忍与舍己;时时自觉与神有亲密的、位格间的相交,且无论外面遭遇何等险难、何等看似挫败,里面都持守深沉的福乐;这品格还向他人洒下世上从未有过的、最能照亮人提升人的感化力。它至为宁静,又至为炽烈。它在最卑微的境遇里、在无休止的敌意冲击之下,把道德完全的无匹典范陈明于世;它自身不显一丝悔罪的成分,却始终要求他人以悔罪为道德健全的第一公理。这样的品格,历史上只出现过一次。
ENBut this character in Him comes to exhibition not as the effect of an arduous training, a difficult attainment after many endeavors. It is to Him essentially native—as is fragrance to the flower, or beauty to the sunshine, or the lovely blue to the arch of the sky. It is His in whatever situations in life, because inherent in His personal spirit. This is simply inexplicable, except as we discern in Him One coming out of heaven from God, thus manifesting the native and perpetual temper of higher spheres; appearing once for all in human conditions, to show in instant vision the moral life of God. Nothing else so unveils and endears to the aspiring human heart the spiritual luster of worlds to come, as does this living example of that in Jesus the Lord. It sublimes the earth and life upon it, this marvelous history, while opening to our view spheres of incomparable majesty and beauty. It is, in the profoundest sense—this divine and irradiating history—the evangel of the world. — R. S. Storrs.]
中然而他身上这品格的显现,并非艰苦训练之果,不是屡经奋力才得的难成之就。它对他而言本乎天性——正如芬芳之于花朵、光彩之于日光、可爱的蔚蓝之于穹苍。无论身处人生何境,这品格都属乎他,因为它内在于他位格性的灵。这一点简直无从解释——除非我们在他身上认出一位从神那里、自天而来者:他如此彰显着更高诸境里本然而恒常的性情,一次而永远地显现于人类的境况之中,为要在即时的直观里显明神的道德生命。再没有什么能像主耶稣身上这一活的榜样这样,向仰望上进的人心揭示并亲切呈现来世诸界的属灵光辉。这段奇妙的历史使大地和地上的生活变得崇高,同时向我们的眼界敞开无可比拟的威严华美之境。就最深的意义而言,这段神圣而放光的历史,就是世界的福音。——R. S. 斯托尔斯(Storrs)
