11雅各在早期总是信靠自己的机巧和能力。然而经过了末后阶段的对付之后，他不再信靠自己，乃是信靠神。雅各已经认识神的怜悯。经过了他一生的经历，他终于领悟在他的处境中，算得数的乃是神的怜悯，不是他的机巧和能力。他也学知这位怜悯的神不仅是全能的，也是全足的，能在每一种情况中应付他的需要。因此，雅各对他的儿子们说，“但愿全足的神在那人面前赐你们怜悯。”（创四三14）现在他的信靠和安息完全在于全足之神的怜悯，不在于他自己和他的能力。在这里我们看见一个完全被变化而成熟的人。 11In his early days Jacob always trusted in his own skill and ability. However, after the dealings in the last stage, his trust was no longer in himself, but in God. Jacob had come to know God’s mercy. In his experiences through all his life, he eventually realized that it was God’s mercy, not his skill and ability, that had counted in his situations. And he had also learned that this merciful God is all-sufficient, not only almighty, to meet his needs in every kind of situation. Hence, Jacob said to his sons, “May the All-sufficient God grant you mercy before the man” (Gen. 43:14). Now his trust and rest are altogether in the mercy of his all-sufficient God, no longer in himself and in his ability. Here we see a man who has been fully transformed for maturity.
