19有的弟兄们作长老,也是忧忧愁愁地作长老。看看第二十八家,第二十八家不行。…亲爱的弟兄们,…你早晨到祂面前去的时候,你只要瞻仰祂的荣美,吸取祂,接受祂,享受祂,你吃了一个饱,你里头满足了,你脸上是放光的。这一个晚上你到了第二十八家,二十八家的弟兄姊妹都说,“…你看这位长老的脸面改了,不是忧忧愁愁的,乃是放光的。他一站起来说几句话,主就出来了。”…这个就是基督徒。(李常受文集一九五八年第一册,五二七至五二九页。)
19Some elders are sorrowful elders. When they consider hall twenty-eight, they shake their head…When they come to the Lord in the morning, they should behold His beauty, absorb Him, receive Him, and enjoy Him. As they are fed by Him and are filled with Him, their faces will shine. Then when they visit hall twenty-eight in the evening, all the brothers and sisters…will marvel at the shining face and say, “The countenance of this elder has changed. His face is no longer sad but shining. When he stands up to speak, the Lord is expressed.”… This is what it means to be a Christian. (CWWL, 1958, vol. 1, How to Enjoy God and How to Practice the Enjoyment of God, pp. 384-385)
