15当十字架把你作透的时候,这工作就带进复活。因此,林后一章二十一至二十二节说,神已经膏了我们,印了我们,又将那灵的作质和预尝赐给我们。我们若要将出于基督的东西供应给人,就必须借着十字架的工作经历基督;十字架的工作乃是为着那灵的施膏、印涂和作质。职事乃是出于这种经历(李文集一九六七年第二册,一七一、一七三页)。
15When the cross has been working through us, this working brings in resurrection. Therefore, 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 says that God has anointed us, has sealed us, and has given us the pledge, the foretaste, of the Spirit. If we are going to minister something of Christ to others, we have to experience Christ by the working of the cross, and the working of the cross is for the anointing, the sealing, and the pledge of the Spirit. The ministry comes out of this experience. (CWWL, 1967, vol. 2, “An Autobiography of a Person in the Spirit,” pp. 139-140)
