10亚伯拉罕在创世记二十二章所作的,乃是圣经中一粒重要的种子。……神吩咐亚伯拉罕的后裔以色列人,要每年三次上摩利亚山去敬拜神,在那里将他们的燔祭献给祂。我们已经看见,摩利亚山成了锡安山,那是美地的中心。亚伯拉罕是头一个带着燔祭在锡安山上敬拜神的人。最终,我们都要在锡安山上敬拜神。一面,在今天的召会生活中,我们这些亚伯拉罕的真后裔,是在锡安山上;另一面,我们是在往那里去的路上。亚伯拉罕在创世记二十二章所作的,乃是种子。他的后裔以色列人,是这粒种子的发展,而我们今天是这粒种子进一步的发展(创世记生命读经,九二一至九二二页)。
10What Abraham did in Genesis 22 is an important seed in the Bible… Abraham’s descendants, the children of Israel, were commanded by God to go three times a year to Mount Moriah to worship God and there to offer to Him their burnt offerings. We have seen that Mount Moriah became Mount Zion, the very center of the good land. Abraham was the first to worship God with the burnt offering on Mount Zion. Eventually, we all will be on Mount Zion worshipping God. On the one hand, in the church life today, as true descendants of Abraham, we are on Mount Zion; on the other hand, we are on our way there. What Abraham did in chapter 22 was the seed. His descendants, the Israelites, were the development of this seed, and we today are the further development of the seed.
