17因为主耶稣从圣灵成孕,从神生且生来就有神,所以祂有圣灵作祂神圣所是的内在素质。因此,神不可能在素质一面离开祂,弃绝祂。但是,当那曾降在祂身上,作经纶能力以完成祂职事的灵离开祂时,祂就在经纶一面为神所弃绝。但神的素质仍留在祂里面。所以,祂乃是神人在十字架上受死,并且祂在那里为救赎我们所流的血,不仅是那人耶稣的血,也是神人的血。所以,神借以将召会买来的这血,乃是神自己的血(使徒行传生命读经,五三六、五四四至五四五页)。
17Because the Lord Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit and was born of God and with God, He had the Holy Spirit as the intrinsic essence of His divine being. Therefore, it was not possible for God to leave, to forsake, Him essentially. Nevertheless, He was forsaken by God economically when the Spirit, who had descended upon Him as the economical power for the carrying out of His ministry, left Him. But the essence of God remained in His being. Therefore, He died on the cross as the God-man, and the blood He shed there for our redemption was the blood not only of the man Jesus but also the blood of the God-man. Therefore, this blood, through which God obtained the church, is God’s own blood. (Life-study of Acts, pp. 453, 460-461)
