14让我提个问题：生命树有多高？如果你这样问我，我要答说，它不比我高。……如果生命树长得很高，它的果子就采不到了。亚当和夏娃没有梯子或别的工具采摘树上的果子。因此我相信，生命树不会太高。……耶稣是全能的神，乃是至高的，但当祂来作我们的食物，祂是低微的。祂是一块饼，甚至是桌子下的碎渣（太十五21~27）。耶稣以食物的形态来作我们的生命，祂不高，也不大。祂是小的、低的。我们所吃的任何东西，都必须比我们小，否则我们就吃不下去。即使食物比我们大，还得切成小片，才吃得下。因此，主耶稣以食物的形态来作我们的生命。祂说，“我就是生命的粮”〔约六48〕，又说，“那吃我的人，也要因我活着。”〔57〕神在子里是生命树，好作食物。我们天天可以吃祂，从祂得喂养。 14Let me ask you a question: how tall was the tree of life? If you turn the question to me, I will answer that it was not taller than I…If the tree of life had been of a great height, its fruit would have been out of reach. Adam and Eve had no ladder or other instrument to use in plucking the fruit of this tree. Therefore, I believe that the tree of life was not very tall. As the almighty God, Jesus is high, but when He came to us as food, He was lowly. He was a loaf of bread. He was even the crumbs under the table (Matt. 15:21-27). The very Jesus who came to us as life in the form of food was not tall and great; He was small and lowly. Anything we eat must be smaller than we are; if it is not, we cannot take it into us. Even if our food is larger than we are, it must be cut into pieces small enough to eat. Thus, Jesus came to us as life in the form of food. He said, “I am the bread of life,” and, “He who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me.” God in the Son is the tree of life, which is good for food. Day after day we can feed on Him. We can eat Him.
