7我们是在享受基督作逾越节,而人还在埃及么?或者我们已经从埃及出来,现在正在旷野,接受启示,建造帐幕,并且吃吗哪?有帐幕为神的建造当然好,但是帐幕缺少坚实性;帐幕是可携带的,没有根基。这个建造的结构里没有石头,只有木头。……我们是否在魂的旷野里游荡,享受从天上来的吗哪,从磐石来的水,抬着浮动的召会生活,没有扎实的根基?……或者……我们是一直行走在一个广阔的地上,充满追测不尽的丰富?召会生活是不是已经建造起来像殿一样的坚固?(李文集一九七九年第一册,三七五页)。
7Are we enjoying Christ as the Passover, yet still in Egypt? Or we may have made our exodus from Egypt and are now in the wilderness, receiving revelation, building the tabernacle, and feasting on manna. Surely it is good to have the tabernacle as God’s building, yet the tabernacle lacked solidity; it was portable with no foundation. There was no stone, only wood, in its construction... Are we wandering in the wilderness of the soul, enjoying manna from heaven and water from the rock and carrying a floating church life with no solid foundation? Or,... are we walking about in a spacious land, full of unsearchable riches? Is the church life built up, as solid as the temple? (CWWL, 1979, vol. 1, “Life Messages, Volume 2,” p. 280)
