18你知道你的定命就是作燔祭么?作燔祭就是被宰杀、被焚烧。在别是巴的成长、生活并呼求伊勒俄拉姆的名,都是为着燔祭的建立,使我们能在摩利亚山的祭坛上被焚烧。……我们越喝别是巴井的水,就越长大;我们越长大,就越预备好接受摩利亚山上的火。因此,主的恢复绝不会是群众运动,乃是一条窄路。在创世记二十二章的时候,以撒是唯一生活并行走在这条窄路上的人。不要盼望许多人走召会的路。……住在别是巴并呼求主的名,从一面说似乎是枯燥的。最终,我们与主享受了一段美好的时光以后,祂会要求我们将以撒献给祂。祂不容许我们在别是巴献以撒。我们必须走一段很长的距离,并且登上摩利亚山。正当的召会生活……产生燔祭。我们都必须成为燔祭。这虽然是一条窄路,却是得胜的路。
18Do you know that your destiny is to be a burnt offering? To be a burnt offering is to be killed and burned. The growing, living, and calling on the name of El Olam at Beer-sheba are all for the building up of a burnt offering that we might be burned on the altar on Mount Moriah…The more we drink the water from the well of Beer-sheba, the more we will grow, and the more we grow, the more we will be prepared for the fire on Mount Moriah. Because of this, the Lord’s recovery will never be a mass movement; it is a narrow way. At the time of Genesis 22, Isaac was the only person living and walking in this narrow way. Do not expect that many will take the way of the church…Living at Beer-sheba and calling on the name of the Lord may seem, in a sense, to be boring. Eventually, after we enjoy a good time with the Lord, He will ask us to offer our Isaac to Him. He will not allow us to offer Isaac at Beer-sheba. We will have to travel a long distance and climb Mount Moriah. The proper church life…produces burnt offerings. We all must become a burnt offering. Although this is a narrow way, it is prevailing.
