12保罗……看见光,也看见权柄。他说,“主啊,我当作什么?”(徒二二10)这是保罗将自己直接摆在主自己的权柄之下。但这时主却将保罗摆在祂设立的代表权柄之下,主说,“起来,进城去,你所当作的事,必有人告诉你。”(九6)保罗从此就认识权柄。……主头一次就把保罗摆在代表权柄之下。……我们信主至今,到底曾顺服多少代表的权柄?……从前我们没有光,今天该严重地看见神的代表权柄。……神注重的不是祂自己直接的权柄,乃是祂所设立间接的权柄。一切不顺服神间接权柄的人,都是不服神直接的权柄(倪柝声文集第三辑第一册,一三一至一三三、一八一至一八二页)。 12When Paul saw the light, he saw authority as well. He said, “What shall I do, Lord?” (Acts 22:10). This was Paul putting himself directly under the Lord’s own authority. But then the Lord placed Paul under His appointed deputy authority. The Lord said, “Rise up and enter into the city, and it will be told to you what you must do” (9:6). From that time on Paul knew authority…At that time, the Lord placed Paul under a deputy authority…From the time we have believed in the Lord until now, how many deputy authorities have we submitted to?…Prior to this, we did not have the light, but today we have to see in a serious way God’s deputy authority…What God looks at is not His own direct authority. He looks at His established, indirect authorities. All those who do not submit to God’s indirect authorities cannot submit to God’s direct authority.
