382 中翻英 (102) By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the king's anger; he persevered because he saw Him who is invisible. 摩西因著信离開埃及,不怕王怒; 因為他恒心忍耐,如同看見那不能看見的主. 5/10/2023

382  中翻英 (102)        By faith Moses left Egypt, not fearing the  king's anger;  he persevered because he saw  Him who is invisible.    摩西因著信离開埃及, 不怕王怒; 因為他恒心忍耐, 如同看見那不能看見的主.             5/10/2023

「他因著信,就离開埃及,不怕王怒,因為他恒心忍耐,如同看見那不能看見的主。」(來11:27

神在造就祂眾仆這件事上,是最完全而徹底的。讓我們思想一下摩西所學的功課,如何使他有分量率領以色列民出埃及。他的生命開始于從水里被拉出來,這個得救的經歷,借著他自己的名字(摩西),叫他畢生難忘。這是他生命中第一次「出埃及」——得胜了死亡。此后,他必須下一個決擇,放棄法老王宮中的一切榮華,這宣告了他的另一次「出埃及」——世界在他身上再不能轄制他了。然后他進入一段隱藏的生活中。四十年之久,這位滿有才干的人,在世界曠野中是完全消匿了。只有經過這樣的造就和對付,神才能在荊棘的火焰中,再一次呼召他去經歷另一次的「出埃及」——從軟弱和放逐中出來,成為杰出而有新能力的以色列拯救者。一個人只有在經過這樣的考驗:己、世界、和死亡在他身上被除掉了,然后神才能使用他,而負起領導的重任去進行以色列民的拯救工作。

"By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he persevered, as seeing him who is invisible" (Hebrews 11:27)

God use the most complete and perfect  way  in training His servants. Let's take  the life  of the Moses as   an   example.     How   God   give   him   the  lesson   to   let him the weight to lead the Israelites out of Egypt. His life began with being pulled out of the water, and this saving experience, by his own name (Moses), stuck with him for the rest of his life. It was the first time in his life that he "came out of Egypt"—overcoming death. Afterwards, he had to make a decision to give up all the splendor of the Pharaoh's palace, which announced another "exodus" of him—the world could no longer rule him over him. Then he enters into a hidden life. For forty years this man of great ability disappeared completely in the wilderness of the world. Only after such edification and dealing can God call him again in the flames of the bush to experience another "Exodus"—come out of weakness and exile, and become an outstanding and capable savior of Israel. Only after a person has passed such a test: the self, the world, and death have been eliminated from him, can God use him to take on the important task of leadership to carry out the work of saving the Israelites.
