Eighth Blessing in the Beatitudes (What Does Jesus Teach Us?) 

八福的第八福（耶稣给我们的教导）

This week, Pastor Ted Wilson talks about the last blessing Jesus mentioned in the Sermon on the Mount.

本周视频中，魏泰德牧师谈论耶稣在登山宝训中提到的最后一福。

Jesus said in Matthew 5:10-12, “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”

耶稣在马太福音5:10-12说：“为义受逼迫的人有福了，因为天国是他们的。人若因我辱骂你们，逼迫你们，捏造各样坏话毁谤你们，你们就有福了。应当欢喜快乐，因为你们在天上的赏赐是大的。在你们以前的先知，人也是这样逼迫他们。”

Sadly, persecution of God’s people entered this world after the Fall when Cain killed Abel. Through the centuries, many who have followed God have suffered and died at the hands of those who have rebelled against Him.

不幸的是，当该隐杀死亚伯之后，对上帝子民的迫害就进入了这个堕落的世界。几个世纪以来，许多追随上帝的人都在那些反抗上帝的人手中受苦和死亡。

Those who have suffered “had trial of mockings and scourgings…of chains and imprisonment. They were stoned…sawn in two…tempted…slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented—of whom the world was not worthy” (Hebrews 11:36-38).

那些受苦的人“忍受戏弄、鞭打、捆锁、监禁各等的磨炼，被石头打死，被锯锯死，受试探，被刀杀，披着绵羊、山羊的皮各处奔跑，受穷乏、患难、苦害，在旷野、山岭、山洞、地穴飘流无定，本是世界不配有的人。”（希伯来书11:36-38）

Yet, they’ve found God’s promises to be true: “As your days, so shall your strength be” (Deuteronomy 33:25) and “My grace is sufficient for you: for My strength is made perfect in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:9).

然而，他们看到上帝的应许成真，“你的日子如何，你的力量也必如何。”（申命记33:25） “我的恩典够你用的，因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全。”（哥林多后书12:9）

Referring to Daniel and his friends, who refused to bow down to Nebuchadnezzar’s golden image, Ellen White wrote, “If you are called to go through the fiery furnace for His sake, Jesus will be by your side, even as He was with the faithful three in Babylon. Those who love their Redeemer will rejoice at every opportunity of sharing with Him humiliation and reproach. The love they bear their Lord makes suffering for His sake sweet” (Thoughts From the Mount of Blessings, page 30).

提及到但以理和他的三位朋友，他们拒绝向尼布甲尼撒王的金像下拜，怀爱伦写道：“如果你蒙召为祂的缘故经过火炉,耶稣必在你的身旁,就像当日祂在巴比伦与那三位忠心的人同在一样。凡爱他们救赎主的人，每当有机会与祂同受凌辱与非难时，就必欢喜快乐。他们的爱主之心，使他们为祂而受的痛苦都变成甘甜的了。”（《福山宝训》30页）

Indeed, when we suffer for God, He promises us His presence and say with the Apostle Paul, “I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for Whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ…that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings…” (Philippians 3:8, 10).

的确，当我们为上帝而受苦，祂应许与我们同在，保罗说：“不但如此，我也将万事当作有损的，因我以认识我主基督耶稣为至宝。我为他已经丢弃万事，看作粪土，为要得着基督……使我认识基督，晓得他复活的大能，并且晓得和他一同受苦，效法他的死……”（腓立比书3:8，10）

Indeed, God is powerful. He has promised not only to be with us but also to bring a blessing out of suffering for His sake. He assures us, “Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:10).

是的，上帝是有能力的上帝。祂不仅应许与我们同在，也给为祂受苦的人带去祝福。祂向我们保证，“为义受逼迫的人有福了，因为天国是他们的。”(马太福音5:10)
