23我们来看如何达到雅歌里启示的高峰时,不该信靠自己。我们也许以为使徒保罗是刚强的,所以他能作到。但使徒保罗自己告诉我们,他比众圣徒中最小者还小(弗三8)。他说,“有谁软弱,我不软弱?”(林后十一29)……在罗马九章十六节保罗说,“这不在于那定意的,也不在于那奔跑的,只在于那施怜悯的神。”我们也许以为我们能奔跑,但我们不能。能奔跑的乃是基督。保罗也说,“现在活着的,不再是我,乃是基督在我里面活着。”(加二20上)(李常受文集一九九四至一九九七年第三册,四四四至四四六页)。 23When we consider how to arrive at the high peak of the revelation in Song of Songs, we should not trust in ourselves. We may think that because the apostle Paul was strong, he could do it. But the apostle Paul himself says that he was less than the least among the saints (Eph. 3:8). He says, “Who is weak, and I am not weak?” (2 Cor. 11:29)…In Romans 9:16 Paul says, “It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.” We may think that we can run, but we cannot. It is Christ who can run. Paul also says, “It is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me” (Gal. 2:20a). (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 3, “Crystallization-study of Song of Songs,” pp. 347-348)
