9我们里面有一道流，那流是永远的生命，那流也是交通。我们都有分于这样的交通。有分于这样的交通，也许不像彼得提到有分于神圣的性情（彼后一4）那样具体，但这交通更有可享受的。比方说，鸡有两种吃法：一种是吃鸡肉，一种是喝鸡汤。你软弱、生病的时候，鸡汤比鸡肉更好。鸡肉好比神圣的性情，而鸡汤好比神圣生命的交通。你喜欢哪一样？你如果很强健，你也许喜欢吃鸡肉。这很不错，但是喝鸡汤更有味。……如果没有鸡肉，你就不可能有鸡汤。照样，你如果没有神圣的性情，你就不会有永远生命的交通。神圣的性情是具体的实质，而神圣生命的交通便是这个实质的交通；这是为着生命的分赐。有分于永远生命之交通的路，就是住在主里面，并且在光中生活行动（李文集一九八三年第二册，三一七至三二○页）。 9Within us there is a flow. That flow is the eternal life, and that is the fellowship. We all are partaking of such a fellowship. To partake of such a fellowship may not be so substantial as partaking of the divine nature, which Peter mentions (2 Pet. 1:4). But this fellowship is more enjoyable. For example, there are two ways to eat chicken: one is to eat the solid chicken, and the other is to eat soup made of chicken. When you are weak or sick, chicken soup is better than chicken. We may use the chicken to illustrate the divine nature, and chicken soup to illustrate the fellowship of the divine life. Which do you prefer? If you are a strong person, you may like solid chicken. This is good, but it is more tasteful to eat the chicken soup…Without a solid chicken, you could not have chicken soup. Likewise, without the divine nature you could not have the fellowship of the eternal life. The divine nature is the solid thing, the substance, and the fellowship of the divine life is the fellowship of this substance. This is for the life dispensing. The way to partake of the fellowship of the eternal life is to abide in the Lord and walk in the light. (CWWL, 1983, vol. 2, “The Divine Dispensing of the Divine Trinity,” pp. 242-243)
