12在撒下七章十二节神提到大卫的后裔,在十四节上半祂说,“我要作他的父,他要作我的子。”这里我们看见一件非常有意义的事—大卫的后裔成了神的儿子。这些经节清楚揭示,人的后裔,就是人的儿子,能成为神的儿子。这含示神的目的,是要使祂自己成为人,为要使人在生命和性情上(但不在神格上)成为神。这样的含示意义极其重大。至终,整本圣经终极完成于这件事。新耶路撒冷,就是圣经的终极完成,乃是神成为人,并且人在生命和性情上(但不在神格上)成为神;神和人调和在一起,成为一个实体(撒母耳记生命读经,二四八至二四九页)。
12In [2 Samuel 7:12] God spoke of David’s seed, and in verse 14a He said, “I will be his Father, and he will be My son.” Here we have something of very great significance—the seed of David becoming the Son of God. These verses clearly unveil that a seed of man, that is, a son of a man, can become the Son of God. This implies that God’s intention is to make Himself man in order to make man God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead. Such an implication is exceedingly great. Eventually, the whole Bible consummates with this matter. The New Jerusalem, the ultimate consummation of the Bible, involves God becoming man and man becoming God in life and in nature but not in the Godhead, and God and man being mingled together to be one entity.
