Outline
1三 雅各是对我们说到圣灵;他的经历代表圣灵的工作,他的历史预表圣灵的管治:
1C. Jacob speaks to us of the Holy Spirit; his experiences represent the work of the Holy Spirit, and his history is a type of the discipline of the Holy Spirit:
21 雅各的一生乃是代表神的对付,而雅各的神乃是对付的神—创三一38~41:
21. Jacob's life is a life that represents God's dealings, and the God of Jacob is the God of dealings—Gen. 31:38-41:
3a “雅各的神”这名称含示圣灵如何管教雅各,对付他的天然生命,把基督构成到他里面,并且在他里面结出圣灵的果子—加五22~23,来十二11。
3a. The title the God of Jacob implies how the Holy Spirit disciplined Jacob, dealt with his natural life, constituted Christ into him, and bore the fruit of the Spirit in him—Gal. 5:22-23; Heb. 12:11.
4b 我们要认识雅各的神,就得让圣灵在我们身上作工,对付我们的天然生命,把基督构成到我们里面。
4b. If we would know the God of Jacob, we need to allow the Spirit to perform His work in us, dealing with our natural life and constituting Christ into us.
52 雅各的历史乃是一幅圣灵管治的图画—创四七9,四八15~16上,来十二9~ 11:
52. Jacob's history is a picture of the discipline of the Holy Spirit—Gen. 47:9; 48:15-16a; Heb. 12:9-11:
6a 圣灵的管治是指圣灵在我们外面的环境里作工,祂安排一切的人、事和遭遇,使我们借此受管教—罗八28。
6a. The discipline of the Holy Spirit refers to what the Holy Spirit is doing in our outward environment—to His arranging of all people, things, and happenings—through which we are being disciplined—Rom. 8:28.
7b 神借着圣灵的管治,完全拆毁我们里面旧造的元素,使新造的元素得以在我们里面建造起来。
7b. Through the discipline of the Holy Spirit, God completely tears down the element of the old creation in us so that the element of the new creation may be built up in us.
83 神借着圣灵的管治,对付我们天然的生命,使基督得以作到我们里面、构成到我们里面并成形在我们里面,使三一神得着团体的彰显—加四19,弗三16~ 21。
83. God deals with our natural life through the discipline of the Holy Spirit so that Christ may be wrought into us, constituted into us, and formed in us for the corporate expression of the Triune God—Gal. 4:19; Eph. 3:16-21.

9创三一40~41 我白日受干热销磨,黑夜受寒霜侵蚀,不得合眼睡着,我常是这样。我这二十年在你家里……服事你……,你十次改了我的工价。
9Gen. 31:40-41 Thus I was: By day the dry heat consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes. These twenty years have I been in your house; I served you…, and you have changed my wages ten times.
10来十二11 一切的管教,当时固然不觉得喜乐,反觉得愁苦;后来却给那借此受过操练的人,结出平安的义果。
10Heb. 12:11 Now no discipline at the present time seems to be a matter of joy, but of grief; but afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been exercised by it.
11现在我们要来看雅各。……我们知道所有的都得接受,若不接受,我们就是虚空的,就什么都没有。但是为什么我们不接受,而要在那里自己作呢?为什么不借着生命的律来得胜,而要借着意志来得胜呢?这里有一个原因,就是……因为还有雅各的原则在那里—肉体的活动在那里,魂的能力在那里,天然的生命在那里。为什么我们在道理方面知道神是一切的起头,而在实际方面我们又要自己起头呢?我们把道理记住了两周,到第三周就忘记了,自己又起头了。所以这样,是因为有雅各在这里。……我们必须看见神是万有的头,必须看见我们是一个接受的人,同时还必须看见我们天然的生命不能活动。……子的应许我们能不能接受,父的道路我们能不能行走,就要看到底我们有没有受圣灵的管治,天然的生命有没有被祂摸一下。这一个,我们要从雅各身上来看(倪柝声文集第二辑第十五册,一〇页)。
11Now let us come to Jacob…We know that everything we have comes by receiving and that if we do not receive anything, we will be left with vanity and emptiness. But we still do not receive, and we still try to do things ourselves. Why? We do not overcome by the law of life; instead, we try to overcome by our own will. Why? One reason is that the principle of Jacob is still in us. The activity of the flesh is still present, the power of the soul is still present, and the natural life is still present. We know doctrinally that God is the Initiator of everything, yet in reality we initiate many things. We remember a doctrine for two weeks, but by the third week we have forgotten it. Then we try to initiate something again. We behave this way because Jacob is still present within us…We have to see that God is the Head of all things. We have to see that we are those who receive. At the same time, we have to see that our natural life must be checked…Whether or not we can receive the promise of the Son and whether or not we can take the way of the Father depend on whether we accept the discipline of the Holy Spirit and whether we are willing to have our natural life touched. We can see this from the life of Jacob. (CWWN, vol. 35, “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” p. 11)

12亚伯拉罕是对我们说到父,以撒是对我们说到子,至于雅各,是对我们说到圣灵。……雅各一生的历史,都是代表圣灵的管治。你在这里看见有一个人是狡猾的,是诡计多端的,是会欺骗人的;但是你也看见这一个人有圣灵在那里一步一步地管治他。他抓住他哥哥的脚跟,但他还是作了弟弟。不错,他用一碗红豆汤骗了他的哥哥。但是后来离开家庭的是他,不是他的哥哥。不错,长子的名分被他得来了,但是逃难的是他,不是他的哥哥。不错,他得着了他父亲的祝福,但是飘流在外的是他,不是他的哥哥。到了他舅舅那里,他要娶拉结,但是拉班先给他的是利亚,不是拉结。他二十年之久,白日受干热销磨,黑夜受寒霜侵蚀(创三一40)。……这一切都是圣灵的管治,都是聪明人所受的熬炼。……天然的生命,要被神压出去。雅各一生的经历,就是给我们看见圣灵的管治。
12Abraham speaks to us of the Father, Isaac speaks to us of the Son, and Jacob speaks to us of the Holy Spirit…Jacob’s history is a type of the discipline of the Holy Spirit. We see a crafty person who was filled with schemes and deceits. But at the same time, we see a person whom the Holy Spirit disciplined step by step. He held his older brother’s heel, yet he still ended up being the younger brother. He supplanted his brother with a pottage of lentils and usurped the birthright, but he, not his brother, eventually had to run away from home. He received his father’s blessing, but he, not his brother, became a wanderer. When he went to stay with his uncle, he wanted to marry Rachel, but Laban gave him Leah, not Rachel first. For twenty years, the drought consumed him in the day, and the frost consumed him by night (Gen. 31:40)… All these experiences were the discipline of the Holy Spirit; they were the trials that a clever man had to go through…The natural life has to be pressed out. Jacob’s history is a picture of the discipline of the Holy Spirit.
13亚伯拉罕给我们看见什么都是出乎神,我们不能凭着自己作什么。以撒给我们看见一切都是神所赐给的,我们应当接受。但是,我们虽然接受了,如果没有受圣灵的管治,还会出毛病。这是雅各所给我们看见的。主总得有一天,把你摸一下,把你大腿窝的筋扭了,把你天然的生命对付了,然后你才会变成一个谦卑的人,然后你才会变成一个战兢恐惧跟从主的人。……我们是何等容易出主张,何等容易不祷告就说话行事,何等容易不在神面前等候就有把握。神要把你天然的生命厉害地摸一下,神要把你天然的生命打断了,给你看见靠着自己不能作什么;从那一天起,你才是一个瘸腿的人。瘸腿不是说你不能走路,而是说你每走一步路,就知道自己的不行,知道自己是一个瘸腿的人。所有认识神的人都有这一个共同的特点。……还想自己有办法、自己有把握、自己有能力的人,是没有受过圣灵管治的人(倪柝声文集第二辑第十五册,一一至一四页)。
13Abraham shows us that everything is of God; we cannot do anything by ourselves. Isaac shows us that everything comes from God, and our place is to receive. But if we only receive and do not have the discipline of the Holy Spirit, something will go wrong. This is what Jacob shows us. One day the Lord will come to us, touch us, and twist the hollow of our thigh; He will deal with our natural life. Then we will become humble and follow the Lord in fear and trembling…How easy it is for us to make proposals, and how easy it is for us to act without prayer. How easy it is for us to develop a confidence apart from God. God has to touch our natural life in a drastic way; He has to break apart our natural life and show us that we can do nothing by ourselves. From that day on, we will be lame men. Being lame does not mean that we cannot walk; rather, it means that every time we walk, we realize our weakness and our lameness. This is the common trait of all those who know God…All those who are still resourceful, confident, and powerful have not experienced the discipline of the Holy Spirit. (CWWN, vol. 35, “The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,” pp. 12-14)
