13主耶稣在恩典里长大(二40)。这意思是说,祂在作恩典的神里面长大。祂作人的救主,在祂的职事里,将神作为恩典供应给人。所以祂自己作为孩童,乃是在恩典里,在神里长大。我们也许不知道在神里长大是什么意思。我们必须看见,神自己乃是一个构成;祂是由许多属性构成的。神是爱、光、圣、义等等,祂是千千万万美妙的项目。神所是的每一项,都是神的一项属性。我们的神自己是由许多属性构成的。我们在神里面长大,就是在神的属性里长大(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第一册,五六四至五六六页)。 13The Lord Jesus grew in grace (2:40). That means that He grew in God as grace. As the Savior of man, in His ministry, He ministered God as grace to people, so He Himself as a young man grew in grace, in God. We may wonder what growing in God means. We need to see that God Himself is a constitution. He is constituted with many attributes. God is love, light, holiness, righteousness, etc. He is myriads of wonderful items. Every item of what God is, is an attribute of God. Our God is constituted in Himself with many attributes. When we grow in God, we grow in God’s attributes. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 1, “Crystallization-study of the Epistle to the Romans,” pp. 446-448)
