14在亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各同约瑟这团体之人的生平里,我们可以看见一个蒙神所爱、所拣选、所呼召、所称义,并得以享受基督一切丰富的人。这一位也被命定要过挣扎的生活,受苦的生活。最后,借着这一切苦难,这一位就被那灵变化,而在神圣生命里成熟。他在年迈时,只知道给人祝福,为神掌权,并将神当作生命的供应分配给人(李常受文集一九九一至一九九二年第四册,一七八至一八一页)。
14In the lives of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as a corporate person, we can see someone who was loved, chosen, called, and justified by God and made to enjoy all the riches of Christ. Also, this one was destined to live a struggling life, a suffering life. Last, through all these sufferings this one was transformed by the Spirit and matured in the divine life. When he was old, he knew only to bless people, to reign for God, and to distribute God as the life supply. (CWWL, 1991-1992, vol. 4, “The History of God in His Union with Man,” pp. 135-137)
