12过了三十年，有一天我对主说，“主，你告诉我过了三十年会得释放，但是现今我比从前更受限制了。我不但有儿子和女儿，也有媳妇、女婿和孙儿。我还有这么多召会和长老的限制。主，现在我怎么办？”然后主说，“再看看我，虽然我三十年后得了释放，但是你岂不知我仍然受你和别的信徒的限制么？”最后，我看见了基督是小麦的异象。住在我里面的基督乃是成为肉体的那一位。从一面来说，祂今日仍然是成了肉体，因为内住的基督甘愿受限制，关在我们的笼中。当我看见受限制之基督的异象时，我开始敬拜祂说，“主啊，为着我的妻子，为着我所有的孩子，为着所有的召会，并且为着所有的长老，我感谢你！主，为着我的鸟笼，我何等感谢你！”这样一个祷告立刻使小麦开始长大。我能见证，在我基督徒的生活中我有麦田。为着我的妻子，我的孩子，我的姻亲，我的孙儿，众召会和长老们，我何等感谢主。这一切产生出一种环境来使我的小麦能长大。……这小麦就是成为肉体的耶稣，在我们的受限制中长大（李常受文集一九七七年第一册，二九一至二九三页）。
12One day, thirty years later, I said to the Lord, “Lord, You told me that I would be released after thirty years, but now I am more limited than ever. I have not only sons and daughters but daughters-in-law, sons-in-law, and grandchildren. I also have the limitation of so many churches and elders. Lord, what shall I do now?” Then the Lord said, “Look at Me again. Although I was released after thirty years, don’t you know that I am still being limited by you and all the other believers?” Eventually, I saw the vision of Christ as the wheat. The very Christ who indwells me is the incarnated One. In a sense, He is still incarnated today, for the indwelling Christ is willing to be limited, caged, in us. When I saw this vision of the limited Christ, I began to worship Him, saying, “O Lord, thank You for my wife, for all my children, for all the churches, and for all the elders. How I thank You, Lord, for my cage.” Such a prayer causes wheat to begin to grow immediately. I can testify that I have a wheat field in my Christian life. How I thank the Lord for my wife, my children, my in-laws, my grandchildren, the churches, and the elders. All of these produce the environment that enables me to grow wheat…This wheat is the incarnated Jesus growing in the midst of our limitations.
