9申八8 那地有小麦、大麦、葡萄树、无花果树、石榴树；那地有出油的橄榄树，有蜜。
9Deut. 8:8 A land of wheat and barley and vines and fig trees and pomegranates; a land of olive trees with oil and of honey.
10约十二24 我实实在在地告诉你们，一粒麦子不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒；若是死了，就结出许多子粒来。
10John 12:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
11我们必须因着主的话敬拜主！〔在申命记八章八节〕祂是把小麦（不是把大麦或葡萄树）摆在先。小麦代表基督的哪一面呢？从约翰十二章二十四节我们能看见，主是一粒麦子落在地里死了，埋葬了。小麦是代表成为肉体的基督。基督乃是神成了肉体，成为一个人，落到地里来受死，被埋葬。这就是小麦。它预表那成为肉体的基督，受死的基督，被埋葬的基督（李常受文集一九六一至一九六二年第四册，三○五页）。
11We must worship the Lord for His Word. [In Deuteronomy 8:8] He put wheat first, not the barley or the vine. What aspect of Christ does wheat represent? From John 12:24 we can see that the Lord is a grain of wheat falling into the earth to die and to be buried. The wheat represents Christ incarnated. Christ is God incarnated as man to fall into the earth—to die and to be buried. This is the wheat. It typifies the Christ who was incarnated, the Christ who died, and the Christ who was buried. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The All-inclusive Christ,” pp. 232-233)

12我所注重的乃是小麦的经历……。无论何时当神主宰的权柄把你摆在一种处境中，使你受限制，使你受压迫，你就能经历主作小麦。当你在那种受限制、受压迫的处境中，你来接触主，祂之于你就像一粒小麦。当你接触了主，你马上能完全满意于你的处境和你的限制。在你里面的生命就是基督自己，乃是一粒小麦。这生命是一个小木匠，成为肉体者，受限制者的生命。当你在某一种环境中受到限制和压制，而你与基督有了一次活的接触，你就要说，“主啊，你是无限的神，却成了一个有限的人。在你里面有能力忍受任何一种的限制。”你就会经历基督作小麦。
12Let us consider the experience of wheat…Whenever you are put into a situation by the Lord’s sovereignty in which you are limited, in which you are pressed, you may experience the Lord as wheat. When in the midst of that limiting and pressing situation you contact the Lord, He is just as a grain of wheat to you. Immediately upon contacting Him, you can be completely satisfied with your situation and your limitation. That life which is Christ Himself within you is a grain of wheat. It is the life of the little carpenter, the incarnated One, the limited One. When you are in a certain environment in which you are restricted and suppressed, if you have a living touch with Christ, you will say, “O Lord, You are the infinite God, but You did become a finite man. There is power in You to suffer any kind of limitation.” You will experience Christ as the wheat.
13有一天，一位很好、很属灵的姊妹来见我。她出身于富有的家庭，后来和一位弟兄结婚，而这位弟兄需要奉养他的母亲。这位母亲对儿子是和蔼可亲，但是对媳妇却完全是另外一回事。这位青年姊妹来找我寻求交通，看看到底她的经历对不对。她告诉我，她一天过一天如何受到婆婆的难为，她如何到主面前去求主作事。当然她不敢求主把她的婆婆挪去，但是她求主救她脱离那个处境。她说，当她求告主的时候，主马上给她看见，祂在地上时是怎样的一种人。祂二十多年之久在那个小家庭里作一个木匠，受了多少的限制。当她看见了这一个，她就流着泪喊说，“主，我赞美你，我赞美你！你的生命在我里面。主，我满意目前的处境了。我不求你来改变什么，我只要赞美你！”她问我，到底她的经历对不对。我就告诉她，那是再对不过了。这位姊妹经历了基督是一粒小麦，她的确是一位属灵的姊妹。
13One day a very good and spiritual sister came to see me. She had come from a rich family and had married a brother who had to take care of his mother. The mother was amiable to the son, but to the daughter-in-law it was another story. This young sister came to me, seeking some fellowship to see whether her experience was right or not. Then she told me how much she suffered day by day from her mother-in-law. She told me how she went to the Lord and asked the Lord to do something. Of course, she dared not ask the Lord to get rid of her mother-in-law, but she asked the Lord to deliver her from that situation. She said then that when she besought the Lord, the Lord immediately began to show her what kind of person He was on the earth. He showed her how much He was limited as a carpenter in that little family for more than thirty years. When she saw such a vision, she cried with tears, “Lord, I praise You, I praise You! Your life is in me. I am satisfied, Lord, with my present situation. I do not ask You to change anything. I just praise You!” She asked me if her experience was right, and I told her that it was most right. This sister experienced Christ as a grain of wheat. She was really a spiritual sister.
14过了一些时候这位姊妹又来找我。这一次她说，“弟兄，赞美主，我不只满意于我家庭的限制，并且我对于主耶稣有更多的看见！祂不只是受限制的，祂还是被置于死地，并且埋葬的！当主向我启示这个的时候，我就告诉祂，我不只愿意留在这一种家庭的处境中，并且愿意为祂的缘故死在这家里，埋葬在这家里。”这是更进一步的经历基督作小麦。
14Some time later, this sister came to me again. This time she said, “Brother, praise the Lord, I am not only satisfied with the limitation of my family, but I have seen something more of the Lord Jesus. He was not only limited, but He was also put to death and buried. When the Lord revealed this to me, I told Him that I would not only be content to stay with the situation in my family, but I would even die and be buried in this family for His sake.” This was a further experience of Christ as a grain of wheat.
15对于我们许多人，在许多环境中，主耶稣就是一粒小麦。我们越多经历祂，我们越认识祂是这样的一位。祂活在我们里面。祂是我们的生命，使我们愿意受限制，愿意死，愿意被埋葬，愿意成为无有。这就是基督作小麦的经历（李常受文集一九六一至一九六二年第四册，三○七至三○九页）。
15To many of us in many circumstances, the Lord Jesus is just as a grain of wheat. The more we experience Him, the more we realize that He is such a One. He lives in us. He is our life to make us willing to be limited, willing to die, willing to be buried, willing to be nothing. This is the experience of Christ as wheat. (CWWL, 1961-1962, vol. 4, “The All-inclusive Christ,” pp. 234-235)

今日要点
17主题：认识小麦豫表成肉体、钉十架、埋葬的基督
17
18引经：申八8，约十二24
18
191.小麦乃是基督的豫表：
19
20a. 申命记八章八节上半，说到美地有小麦，或者说这块美地乃是有小麦的地，小麦表征成为肉体、被钉死并埋葬的基督，这是根据主自己在约十二24说，一粒麦子（小麦）不落在地里死了，仍旧是一粒，若是死了，就结出许多子粒来。
20
21b.小麦是代表成为肉体的基督，祂乃是神成了肉体，成为一个人，落到地里来受死，被埋葬，这就是小麦，它豫表成为肉体的基督，受死的基督，被埋葬的基督。
21
222.作小麦的基督，将无限的神带到有限的人里面：
22
23a. 我们可见，基督作为在肉体里有限的人，受时间和空间的限制，这位永远无限的神，竟成时间有限的人，祂在时间上、行动上、知识上都受到限制，作为在肉体里有限的人，有天然、属人的生命，但祂却过倚靠的生活。
23
24b在我们里面的生命，乃是小麦，这生命是受限制的生命，这生命能够在一切环境中受限制和压制，我们若在环境中接触主，就会经历主作小麦，而满意于处境和限制，愿意受限制，愿意与祂同死，愿意被埋葬，愿意成为无有。这就是基督作小麦的经历。
24
25应用：借着跟主祷告，与基督有活的接触，我们就能说，主啊，你是小麦，在你里面有能力忍受任何限制，这使我们从抱怨环境转为赞美，而满意处境，不求改变。
