19因着诸天在掌权,所以基督在我们一切的情况中,都与我们同在。我们病了,祂与我们同在;我们在风暴中,祂与我们同在。……我们都需要学知三件事:这个宇宙是在神的行政管理之下;神行政管理的心意,乃是要使基督成为居首位的,使祂在万有中居首位;为着完成神的心意,我们这些神的子民,神的选民,必须与祂有最好的配搭与合作。借着我们的配搭与合作,神就要完成祂永远的心意,使基督借着诸天的掌权,成为居首位的(但以理书生命读经,一一二至一一三、九一至九二页)。
19Because the heavens rule, Christ is with us in all our situations. When we are sick, He is with us. When we are in turmoil, He is with us. We all need to learn three things: that this universe is under God’s administration; that God’s intention in His administration is to make Christ preeminent, to cause Him to have the first place in everything; and that for the accomplishment of God’s intention, we, His people, His elect, must give Him the best coordination and cooperation. Through our coordination and cooperation, God will consummate His eternal intention to make Christ preeminent through the rule of the heavens. (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 9495, 77-78)
