8雅各的梦是基督的启示,因为基督这梯子乃是这梦的中心、焦点。这里随着这天梯有敞开的天、变化过的人、这人身上的膏油涂抹以及用这人所建造神的家。今天的召会生活是雅各之梦完全的应验,因为召会生活是天的门,是柱子和梯子的所在地,也是使者升到天上报好消息,并降到地上带来属天之物的地方。伯特利就在召会生活这里。我们是今日的伯特利(创世记生命读经,一〇八六页)。
8Jacob’s dream is a revelation of Christ, for Christ as the ladder is the center, the focus, of this dream. Here with this heavenly ladder we have an open heaven, the transformed man, the anointing upon this man, and the building up of the house of God with this man. The church life today is the complete fulfillment of Jacob’s dream because the church life is the gate of heaven, the place where the pillar and ladder are, and the place where the angels ascend to heaven bearing good news and descend to earth bringing something heavenly. Bethel is here in the church life. We are today’s Bethel. (Life-study of Genesis, p. 893)
