26撒但恨恶耶稣的名。一九三五年,在我家乡的召会得了复兴,我们都负担传福音。每天晚上我们都到街上去传福音。一天晚上,我在街头传福音的时候,一个大约三十岁的人非常放肆的嘲笑耶稣的名。一位弟兄非常和蔼的上前问他,可否有些交谈。他同意了,这位弟兄就问:『你见过耶稣么?』他说,『没有。』然后这位弟兄问:『你听过耶稣么?』他又说,『没有。』以后这位弟兄说,『耶稣害过你么?』他说,『从来没有。』然后这位弟兄问:『你从未见过耶稣,祂也从来没有害过你,那么你为甚么恨祂?』他回答说,『虽然我从未见过祂,也从未被祂害过,我还是恨祂。』然后弟兄问:『你为甚么不恨我?』那人回答说,『我不恨你;我恨耶稣。』弟兄问:『为甚么?』那人说,『我不知道。』然后弟兄问:『先生,我可以告诉你事实么?』那人同意,弟兄就说,『让我告诉你,你并不恨耶稣。恨耶稣的是别人。为甚么?因为你从未见过耶稣。那不是你!』那人问弟兄恨耶稣的是谁?弟兄回答说,『恨耶稣是你里面的魔鬼。』藉著这一切我们看见,撒但利用人攻击耶稣的名。(徒二六9。)
26Satan hates the name of Jesus. In 1935 the church in my hometown was revived, and we were all burdened to preach the gospel. Every night we went to the streets to preach. One night, as we were preaching on a street corner, a man about thirty years of age was very bold to scoff at the name of Jesus. A brother went up to him in a very nice way and asked if they could have a little talk. When he agreed, the brother asked, “Have you ever met Jesus?” He said, “No.” Then the brother asked, “Have you ever heard of Jesus?” Again, he said, “No.” After that, the brother said, “Has Jesus done something bad to you?” He said, “Never.” Then the brother inquired, “You have never met Jesus, and He has never done anything bad to you. Why then do you hate Him?” He replied, “Although I’ve never met Him and although I’ve never been damaged by Him, I still hate Him.” Then the brother asked, “Why don’t you hate me?” The man answered, “I don’t hate you; I hate Jesus.” “Why?” inquired the brother. “I don’t know,” said the man. Then the brother asked, “Sir, may I relate a fact to you?” The man consented and the brother said, “Let me tell you, you do not hate Jesus. It is someone else who hates Jesus. Why? Because you have never met Jesus. It is not you!” When the man asked the brother who it was who hated Jesus, the brother answered, “It is the Devil within you who hates Jesus.” By all this we see that Satan utilizes people to attack the name of Jesus (Acts 26:9).
