12一个留在地上的人,总有属地的眼光、属地的感觉;那个属地的眼光、属地的感觉,到真要建造召会时,就会成为难处。主耶稣的升天乃是超越、征服一切的仇敌。祂复活后,仇敌还没有完全解决,因为祂复活以后,还是在天空之下,在一切仇敌、执政掌权者之下。乃是等到祂升天之后,祂才在宇宙中作了一个展示,给整个宇宙看见,祂胜过了一切,超过了一切,并征服了一切;祂坐在宇宙的至高之处,得着了最高的名、最高的地位、最高的权柄。耶稣在升天里被立为基督,一切都在祂的脚下。祂是头,是元首,我们是祂的身体,和祂一同坐在天上。只有到这样超越的地位、升天的地位,我们才有建造的可能(李常受文集一九六五年第四册,六七九至六八一页)。
12A person who remains on the earth always has earthly views and earthly feelings. These views and feelings will become a problem when he engages in the work of building the church. In ascension the Lord transcended and conquered all the enemies. The enemies were not completely dealt with in the Lord’s resurrection because before His ascension He was still under the air, that is, under all the enemies, rulers, and authorities. It was not until He ascended that He displayed to the entire universe that He had overcome all, transcended all, and conquered all. It was then that He arrived at the highest place of the universe and sat down, having received the highest name, the highest position, and the highest authority. In ascension Jesus was made Christ, and everything was subjected under His feet. Today He is the Head, and we are His Body. As His Body we are sitting together with Him in the heavenlies. Only when we have arrived at such a transcendent and ascendant position will it be possible for us to build the church. (CWWL, 1965, vol. 4, pp. 517-518)
