纲目
Outline
1壹 变化乃是在我们天然生命里新陈代谢的改变；成熟乃是被那改变我们的神圣生命所充满；祝福乃是生命的满溢：
1I. To be transformed is to be metabolically changed in our natural life, to be mature is to be filled with the divine life that changes us, and blessing is the overflow of life:
2一 雅各要祝福约瑟的两个儿子时，说到在他经历中的三一神—创四八9、15~16：
2A. As Jacob was about to bless the two sons of Joseph, he spoke of the Triune God in his experience—Gen. 48:9, 15-16:
3１ 亚伯拉罕和以撒行事为人都在祂面前的神，乃是父。
31. The God before whom Abraham and Isaac walked is the Father.
4２ 牧养雅各“一生……直到今日”的神，乃是灵。
42. The God who shepherded Jacob "all my life to this day" is the Spirit.
5３ 那救赎雅各脱离一切患难的使者，乃是子。
53. The Angel who redeemed him from all evil is the Son.
6二 雅各体认他的定命和生存，完全在牧养之神的手中；经历三一神，乃是为着我们能以三一神祝福别人。
6B. Jacob realized that his destiny and existence were absolutely in the hands of the shepherding God; the experience of the Triune God is so that we may bless others with the Triune God.
7贰 祝福的意义，乃是神作为生命借着人生命成熟而有的满溢：
7II. The meaning of blessing is that blessing is the overflow of God as life through someone's maturity in life:
8一 没有人作管道，神就无法将祂自己流到别人里面；神唯一可用来作管道的，乃是被神浸透并浸润的人—腓一23~25。
8A. God cannot flow Himself into others without a human channel; the only humanity that God can use as a channel is the one saturated and permeated with God—Phil. 1:23-25.
9二 生命成熟就是被神作为生命所充满；当我们满了神，我们就有神的满溢，因此我们就能祝福所遇见的每个人—诗歌六五五首。
9B. Maturity in life is a matter of being filled with God as life; when we are full of God, we have the overflow of God, and thus we are able to bless everyone we meet—Hymns, #910.
10叁 按照属灵的经历，雅各和约瑟乃是一个人；约瑟代表成熟的以色列掌权的一面，就是基督构成在雅各成熟的性情里；作为由基督这完全者所构成的成熟圣徒，雅各借着约瑟掌权—创四一39~44，来六1上，加六8，五22~23：
10III. According to spiritual experience, Jacob and Joseph are one person; Joseph represents the reigning aspect of the mature Israel, the constitution of Christ in Jacob's mature nature; as a mature saint constituted of Christ, the perfect One, Jacob reigned through Joseph—Gen. 41:39-44; Heb. 6:1a; Gal. 6:8; 5:22-23:
11一 约瑟所预表掌权的一面，乃是构成到我们全人里面的基督—四19，罗五17。
11A. The reigning aspect typified by Joseph is Christ constituted into our being—4:19; Rom. 5:17.
12二 成熟生命掌权的一面，就是一直享受主同在的生活；哪里有祂的同在，哪里就有权柄，就有管治的能力—创三九2~5、21~23。
12B. The reigning aspect of the mature life is a life that always enjoys the presence of the Lord; wherever His presence is, there is authority, the ruling power—Gen. 39:2-5, 21-23.

13创四八15~16 他就给约瑟祝福说，愿我祖亚伯拉罕和我父以撒行事为人都在祂面前的神，就是一生牧养我直到今日的神，那救赎我脱离一切患难的使者，赐福与这两个少年人。愿他们归在我的名下，和我祖亚伯拉罕、我父以撒的名下。……
13Gen. 48:15-16 And he blessed Joseph and said, The God before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has shepherded me all my life to this day, the Angel who has redeemed me from all evil, bless the boys; and may my name be named on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac…
14雅各到埃及去，没有为自己从事什么活动。这……是他成熟的表显。……他完全满足，并且绝对安息于神的主宰。他不倚靠自己的努力。从他多年的经历中，他已经知道他的定命是在神手中，不是在自己手中。雅各要祝福约瑟的两个儿子时，说到神是牧养他一生的神（创四八15~16）。雅各在创四八15~16的话乃是指三一神。这里我们看见在雅各经历中的三一神，不是在道理上的三一神。……在这里我们看见……三重的提到神：……亚伯拉罕和以撒行事为人都在祂面前的神必定是父，牧养雅各一生的神必定是灵，那救赎他脱离一切患难的使者必定是子。这就是雅各经历中的三一神（创世记生命读经，一四四一至一四四二页）。
14When Jacob went to Egypt, he did not engage in any activity for himself. This…is a manifestation of his maturity…He was fully satisfied and rested absolutely in God’s sovereignty. He did not depend upon his own endeavors. From his experience through the years, he had come to know that his destiny was in the hands of God, not in his own hands. As Jacob was about to bless the two sons of Joseph, he spoke of God as the One who had shepherded him all his life (Gen. 48:15-16). Jacob’s word in 48:15 and 16 is a reference to the Triune God. Here we see the Triune God in Jacob’s experience, not in doctrine…Here we see a threefold mention of God…The God before whom Abraham and Isaac walked must be the Father; the God who shepherded Jacob his whole life must be the Spirit; and the Angel who redeemed him from all evil must be the Son. This is the Triune God in Jacob’s experience. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1202-1203)

15雅各经历了神主宰、牧养的看顾。牧养包括喂养。牧人应付羊一切的需要，羊只要吃、安息。羊生存所需的一切供应，都是来自牧人。牧人的例子是个奇妙的例证，说明雅各体认他的定命和生存，完全在牧养之神的手中。因此，在他成熟并且到了埃及以后，他没有为自己作什么。这是生命成熟的另一个标记。要给祝福下个正确的定义相当困难。多年前，我只能说，祝福就是为别人求好处，或者愿意别人得好处。但在多年经历之后，我能说，祝福乃是神借着人生命成熟而有的满溢。没有人作管道，神就无法将祂自己流到别人里面。基督若从来没有成为肉体，神就无法涌流给人，因为没有管道。神的涌流需要人作管道。神唯一可用来作管道的，乃是被神浸透并浸润的人。因这缘故，雅各直到成熟，才给人祝福。雅各没有祝福拉班或以扫。甚至他与拉班在一起二十年之后，见到他的哥哥以扫，也没有祝福他。直到他下了埃及，才祝福当时在地上最高的统治者法老（创四七7、10）。那时雅各是被神充满了的。借着雅各祝福法老，神的祝福就向法老涌流。
15Jacob experienced God’s sovereign, shepherding care. Shepherding includes feeding. The shepherd meets every need of the sheep, who only eat and rest. Every provision for their existence comes from the shepherd. The example of the shepherd is a marvelous illustration of Jacob’s realization that his destiny and existence were absolutely in the hands of the shepherding God. Thus, after he had matured and had arrived in Egypt, he did nothing for himself. This is another sign of the maturity of life. It is rather difficult to give a proper definition of blessing. Years ago I could only say that blessing was asking or wishing something good for others. But after years of experience I can say that blessing is the overflow of God through someone’s maturity in life. God cannot flow Himself into others without a human channel. If Christ had never been incarnated, God would not have been able to flow to man, because there would not have been a channel. God’s flowing needs humanity as a channel. The only humanity God can use as the channel is one saturated and permeated with God. For this reason Jacob did not bless anyone until he had become mature. Jacob did not bless Laban or Esau. Even when he saw his brother Esau after the twenty years with Laban, he did not bless him. It was not until he went down into Egypt that he blessed Pharaoh, the highest ruler on earth (Gen. 47:7, 10). At that time Jacob was filled with God. Through Jacob’s blessing of Pharaoh, God’s blessing overflowed to Pharaoh.
16生命成熟就是被神充满。当你充满了神，你就有神的满溢，因此你就能祝福所遇见的每个人。
16Maturity in life is a matter of being filled with God. When you are full of God, you have the overflow of God, and thus you are able to bless everyone you meet.
17约瑟代表成熟生命掌权的一面。作为这样的代表，约瑟预表基督，因为成熟生命掌权的一面，就是那构成到我们里面的基督。所以，在创世记的记载里，约瑟预表基督。
17Joseph represents the reigning aspect of the mature life. As such a representative, Joseph typifies Christ, for the reigning aspect of the mature life is Christ constituted into our being. Therefore, in the record of Genesis, Joseph typifies Christ.
18约瑟所预表掌权的一面，乃是构成到我们全人里面的基督。……哪里有基督的构成同神的同在，哪里就有掌权的部分。在要来的国度里，与基督在诸天的国里一同作王的，就是这部分。因此，成熟生命掌权的一面，就是一直享受主同在的生活。在这宇宙中的权柄乃是主自己。哪里有祂的同在，哪里就有权柄，就有管治的能力。只要我们有主的同在，我们就有权柄，即使我们是在监狱里。虽然我们也许是囚犯，但最终我们要成为管治者。无论我们在哪里，我们都要管治（创世记生命读经，一四四二、一四四六至一四四七、一七○九、一六九八、一七○七页）。
18The reigning aspect typified by Joseph is Christ constituted into our being…Wherever the constitution of Christ goes with the presence of God, there will be the reigning part. In the coming kingdom it will be this part that will be the co-kings with Christ in the kingdom of the heavens. Thus, the reigning aspect of the mature life is a life that always enjoys the presence of the Lord. The authority in this universe is the Lord Himself. Wherever His presence is, there is authority, the ruling power. As long as we have the Lord’s presence, we have authority, even if we are in prison. Although we may be prisoners, we will eventually become rulers. We will rule wherever we are. (Life-study of Genesis, pp. 1203, 1206-1207, 1423, 1414, 1421)
