53 伯特利是神的家,神的居所,也是天的门;在那里基督是梯子,把地联于天,并把天带到地;(创二八12~17,约一51;)我们的灵今天既是神居所的所在,这灵现今就是天的门,在这里基督是梯子,把我们在地上的人联于天,并把天带给我们;因此,每当我们转到灵里,就能进入天的门,借着基督作天梯,摸着天上施恩的宝座。 53 At Bethel, the house of God, the habitation of God, which is the gate of heaven, Christ is the ladder that joins earth to heaven and brings heaven to earth (Gen. 28:12-17; John 1:51); since today our spirit is the place of God's habitation, it is now the gate of heaven, where Christ is the ladder that joins us, the people on earth, to heaven, and brings heaven to us; hence, whenever we turn to our spirit, we enter through the gate of heaven and touch the throne of grace in heaven through Christ as the heavenly ladder.
