摘要
查爾斯·泰茲·羅素,也稱為羅素牧師,是美國宗教領袖、作家暨演說家。他是基督教教派耶和華見證人的創辦人,該教派是在美國聖經研究者運動中興起。聖經研究者運動的基礎,在羅素先生的教導與宣道中建立。對《聖經》的分析詮釋使他聞名於世,他以一輩子的心力和各種資源致力於傳教,要建立地球上黃金時代的未來。根據羅素先生對聖經的研究,上帝的王國將透過基督而統治地球。羅素先生在一八七九年創立了一個聖經期刊,現今名稱為守望塔,隨後為了傳播宗教文獻,他也創立了守望台聖經書社。他擔任該社的理事長,直到一九一六年他過世。羅素先生的書與小冊子有一千六百萬冊,以卅五種語言受到廣泛的閱讀。此外,他每週的佈道刊登在數以千計的報紙。他最著名的作品之一就是七卷系列的《聖經的研討》。我們今天選讀查爾斯.泰茲.羅素所著《聖經的研討》第一卷中的內容,主題為〈上帝的歷代計畫〉。「這系列經典的研究主題:〈上帝的歷代計畫〉,認為神聖安排的進展為我們的上帝所預知,且依序的進行。我們相信唯有以此觀點方可看出此神聖啟示的教理,是既美麗又和諧的,其他觀點則無法看出。罪行被允許的這段期間就是人類的暗夜,永不應被遺忘;但公義與神恩的榮耀白日,將隨著彌賽亞而來,作為公義的太陽,彌賽亞將會彰顯並全然通透地照亮一切,帶來療癒與加持,他不僅將照亮充滿哭泣、悲嘆、痛苦、疾病及死亡的可怕黑夜,進而將撫平眾生長久以來的痛苦呻吟。」「『主耶穌說:我的意念非同你們的意念,我的道路非同你們的道路;天如何高過地,我的道路就如何高過你們的道路,我的意念就如何高過你們的意念。』」Words of Wisdom

Details
Charles Taze Russell, also known as Pastor Russell, was an American religious leader, author and lecturer. He was the founder of the Christian denomination of the Jehovah’s Witnesses, a group that emerged from the Bible Student movement in the United States. The Bible Student movement was based on the teachings and ministry of Mr. Russell. He is noted for his analytical interpretations of the Holy Bible and for dedicating his life and resources to the preaching of the future establishment of a Golden Age on Earth. According to Mr. Russell’s research of the Holy Bible, God’s Kingdom will rule the Earth through Christ. In 1879, Mr. Russell started a Bible journal, now called The Watch Tower, after which he established the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society for the purpose of distributing religious literature. He remained president of the society until he passed away in 1916. Mr. Russell’s books and booklets were widely read, with 16 million copies in 35 languages. In addition, his weekly sermons were published by thousands of newspapers. Among the most well-known works of his is the seven-volume series, “Studies in the Scriptures.” Today, we will read a selection from Volume 1 of Charles Taze Russell’s “Studies in the Scriptures” entitled, “The Divine Plan of the Ages.” “The title of this series of Studies — ‘The Divine Plan of the Ages,’ suggests a progression in the Divine arrangement, foreknown to our God and orderly. We believe the teachings of Divine revelation can be seen to be both beautiful and harmonious from this standpoint and from no other. The period in which sin is permitted has been a dark night to humanity, never to be forgotten; but the glorious day of righteousness and Divine favor, to be ushered in by Messiah, who, as the Sun of Righteousness, shall arise and shine fully and clearly into and upon all, bringing healing and blessing, will more than counterbalance the dreadful night of weeping, sighing, pain, sickness and death, in which the groaning creation has been so long.” “‘My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord; for as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.’”
