8申八7 因为耶和华你神领你进入美地，那地有川，有泉，有源，从谷中和山上流出水来。
8Deut. 8:7 For Jehovah your God is bringing you to a good land, a land of waterbrooks, of springs and of fountains, flowing forth in valleys and in mountains.
9西一12 感谢父，叫你们够资格在光中同得所分给众圣徒的分。
9Col. 1:12 Giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you for a share of the allotted portion of the saints in the light.
10基督就是美地。……〔创世记一章九至十节和十三节里〕第三日从死水里露出来的旱地，乃是在第三日从死里复活之基督的预表。……一切的生命，无论是植物、是动物或是人的生命，都是出于地；甚至人也是用那复活之地的尘土造的。从医学上来看，我们身体的成分和土壤所含有的成分，是相同的。……所以人是出于地，而地是基督的表号。这表征基督是各种生命的源头。基督乃是美地，是出自死水，在四围环绕的死水中高高地露出来之地，由迦南地所描绘。……这地就是基督的一幅图画（希伯来书生命读经，二二一页）。
10Christ is the good land…The land that came out of the death water on the third day was a type of the resurrected Christ who came out of death on the third day…All the life, including the vegetable, animal, and human life, came out of the land. Even man was made from the dust of that resurrected land. Medically speaking, our physical body contains the same elements as the earth…Mankind came from the land, and the land is a figure of Christ. This signifies that Christ is the source of all kinds of life. Christ as the good land, the land that came out of the death water, the land that was elevated above and surrounded by the death water, was depicted by the land of Canaan…This land is a picture of Christ. (Life-study of Hebrews, 2nd edition, p. 180)

11因着申命记有对美地的描述，我们可以说，美地是启示在旧约中。但因着美地的意义是隐藏的，我们也可以说美地是隐藏在圣经中。主的儿女因着祂怜悯和恩典的供应，深入神的话中，才开始认识神应许给祂选民的美地，乃是基督的预表。倘若在埃及所享受的逾越节，以及在旷野所经历的吗哪，都是基督的预表，那么美地必定也是基督的预表。
11Because Deuteronomy describes the good land, we may say that the good land is revealed in the Old Testament. But because the meaning and significance of the good land are concealed, we may also say that the land is concealed in the Scriptures. As the Lord’s children, supplied by His mercy and grace, delved into the Word, they began to realize that the good land promised by God to His chosen people is a type of Christ. If the passover enjoyed in Egypt and the manna experienced in the wilderness were types of Christ, then the good land must also be a type of Christ.
12在约书亚五章十一至十二节，我们看到一个提示，美地接续吗哪作基督的预表。十一节说到以色列的百姓吃美地的出产。十二节说得特别清楚：“他们吃了那地的出产，当日吗哪就止住了，以色列人也不再有吗哪了；那一年，他们却吃迦南地的出产。”吗哪预表基督是神百姓生命的供应。正如约书亚记中这二节所指明，美地的出产乃是吗哪的延续。因此，吗哪若是预表基督，美地的出产必定也是预表祂。借着旷野中吗哪的供应，神的百姓就能建立会幕作神的居所。同样的原则，因着那地丰富出产的供应，他们就能建造圣殿作神更稳固的居所。毫无疑问，以色列子民所享受的美地，乃是基督一个重大的预表，因为乃是借着享受美地，圣殿才得以建立。我们甚至可以说，这是基督在圣经中最终极的预表。美地乃是基督完全而包罗万有的预表。
12In Joshua 5:11 and 12 we see a hint that the good land typifies Christ as the continuation of the manna. Verse 11 says that the children of Israel ate of the produce of the land. Verse 12 is especially clear: “And the manna ceased on that day, when they ate of the produce of the land; and there was no longer manna for the children of Israel, but they ate of the yield of the land of Canaan that year.” Manna was a type of Christ as the life supply for God’s people. As these verses in Joshua point out, the produce of the good land was the continuation of the manna. Therefore, if the manna typifies Christ, the produce of the good land must also typify Him. By means of the supply of manna in the wilderness, God’s people were able to build the tabernacle as God’s dwelling place. In the same principle, through the supply of the rich produce of the land, they were able to build the temple as a more solid dwelling place for God. No doubt, the good land enjoyed by the children of Israel is a significant type of Christ, for through the enjoyment of it, the temple was built. We may even say that it is the ultimate type of Christ found in the Scriptures. It is a complete and all-inclusive type of Christ.
13我们需要详细地认识，基督如何由申命记八章七至十节中所记载的一切项目来预表。祂是从谷中和山上流出来的水，祂是小麦和大麦；小麦和大麦分别预表成为肉体并被钉死的基督，以及复活的基督。我们还要继续往前看，基督如何由酒、油、无花果、石榴和矿物来预表。
13We need to know in detail how Christ is typified by all the items mentioned in Deuteronomy 8:7-10. He is the water that flows forth in valleys and in mountains. He is the wheat and the barley, which signify respectively the incarnated and crucified Christ and the resurrected Christ. We must go on to see how Christ is typified by vines, oil, figs, pomegranates, and minerals.
14地是旧约圣经的紧要中心，这就是为什么神在旧约中一再说到那地的原因。神呼召亚伯拉罕出来，告诉他要把他带到一个地方，那个地方就是迦南美地。……旧约的中心乃是在美地上所建造之城里的圣殿。我们若认识圣经，也有从神来的亮光，我们就明白，神永远计划的中心，按预表说，乃是美地连同殿和城。从创世记开始，旧约就以美地为中心，并且一再提到和美地有关的事物。……美地乃是包罗万有之基督的图画，预表基督之于我们乃是一切（歌罗西书生命读经，二○二至二○四页）。
14The land is the crucial focus of the Old Testament. This is the reason that in the Old Testament the Lord spoke of the land again and again. He called out Abraham and told him that He would bring him into a certain land, which was the land of Canaan…The center of the Old Testament is the temple within the city built in the good land. If we know the Scriptures and have light from God, we will realize that the center of God’s eternal plan, speaking according to the type, is the land with its temple and city. Beginning with the book of Genesis, the Old Testament takes the land as the center and mentions again and again something related to the land…The land is the figure of the all-inclusive Christ, a type of Christ as everything to us. (Life-study of Colossians, second edition, pp. 164-165)

今日要点
16主题：享受包罗万有的基督作迦南美地
16
17引经：申八7，西一12
17
181.迦南美地积极的意义：
18
19a. 为此，我们要领会以色列人进迦南和在迦南争战的意义，就需要认识，按豫表迦南有积极与消极两面的意义，根据申八7~10节，在积极一面，迦南是丰富之地，豫表包罗万有的基督同祂追测不尽的丰富，这就是保罗在西一12所说，要信徒看见他们已经得着美地的一分。
19
20b. 圣经中许多事物都豫表基督，但惟独美地是圣经里所看到基督终极的豫表，许多基督徒把美地领会为天堂，甚至诗歌404首说到，死河寒波我亦不躲，都让人领会为天堂，但因着申命记对美地的描述，美地的意义是隐藏在圣经中。
20
212.美地不是指天堂，乃是豫表包罗万有的基督：
21
22a.我们需要看见，倘若在埃及所享受的逾越节、旷野所经历的吗哪，都是基督的豫表，那么美地也必定是基督的豫表，这可由书五11~12可见，他们吃了那地的出产，当日吗哪就止住了，因此美地的出产乃是吗哪的延续，因此，以色列子民享受美地的出产，乃是基督终极的豫表。
22
23b. 地是旧约圣经的紧要中心，这也就是为什么神要一再地恢复人回到那地，因为当人享受美地的一切，豫表信徒经历基督是一切，又在一切之内，就能够带进在美地上建造殿和城，就是神的居所和神的国度，以完成神的心意。
23
24应用：我们需要神的怜悯和恩典，使我们蒙光照，看见神应许给选民的美地，乃是基督的豫表，而使我们丰富的享受基督，拯救我们脱离属灵的贫穷，而能经历基督对我们乃是一切。
