再者，使徒约翰说，“凡从神生的，就不犯罪，因为神的种子住在他里面; 他也不能犯罪，因为他是从神生的。”（约壹三9）。这里的种子就是女人的后裔基督。那征服者的种子、得胜者的种子，就是这粒种子。最先的得胜者是这粒种子。我们有一粒征服的种子在我们里面。我们若让这粒种子长大，它一定会得胜。我们都要喊：“阿利路亚！我们里面有这粒得胜的种子！”
有一天我很惊讶的看到，卫斯理查理在二百多年前所写的一首诗歌：“听哪，天使高声唱”的最后一节。在这节，我们很清楚的看到这位得胜之女人的后裔：
万国“羡慕，”万民“望，”愿你安家我心房;
女人后裔－得胜者，在我里面毁古蛇;
亚当旧样全除尽，你的形像将我印;
末后亚当的丰盛，将我这人全复兴。
这节开始于恳求万国所羡慕的那位，引自哈该书二章七节。基督是万国所羡慕的。作者没有求基督－万国所羡慕的那位，来为我们死在十字架上 乃是来“安家我心房。”下一行没有说，“以马内利，耶稣基督，神的儿子，”乃是说，“女人后裔－得胜者。”然后作者求这位“得胜者”来“在我里面毁古蛇。”虽然祂在十字架上已经毁了古蛇，但祂现今必须在我们里面毁坏蛇的头。还有，亚当的旧样必须被除尽，因为他已经满了蛇的性情。卫斯理接着说，“你的形像将我印，”意思是将我们变化成主的形像。诗歌结束于一个祷告，愿末后的亚当用祂的丰盛将我们全人复兴。我们都要赞美主，因祂已安家在我们里面，现今祂在我们里面毁坏蛇的头。祂是女人得胜的后裔。。

The Seed of the Woman (2) – Rom. 16:20
Furthermore, the apostle John said, “No one who is born of God practices sin, because His seed abides in him; and he cannot sin, because he is born of God” (1 John 3:9). The “seed” here is Christ — the seed of the woman. This conquering seed, the victorious seed, is that very seed. The first overcomer was this seed. We have a conquering seed within us. If we allow this seed to grow, it will surely overcome. We should all shout, “Hallelujah! We have this victorious seed inside us!”
One day I was amazed to discover that Charles Wesley, more than 200 years ago, captured this victorious seed of the woman in the last stanza of his hymn Hark! The Herald Angels Sing. In that stanza, we clearly see the victorious seed of the woman:
Come, Desire of nations, come,
Fix in us Thy humble home;
Rise, the woman’s conqu’ring Seed,
Bruise in us the serpent’s head.
Adam’s likeness now efface,
Stamp Thine image in its place:
Final Adam from above,
Reinstate us in Thy love.
This stanza begins by pleading with the “Desire of nations,” a phrase drawn from Haggai 2:7. Christ is the One desired by all nations. The author does not ask Christ — the Desire of nations — to come and die for us on the cross. Rather, he prays, “Fix in us Thy humble home.” The next line does not say, “Emmanuel, Jesus Christ, the Son of God,” but rather, “Rise, the woman’s conqu’ring Seed.” Then the author asks this “conquering Seed” to “bruise in us the serpent’s head.” Although Christ already destroyed the serpent on the cross, He must now crush the serpent’s head within us.
Moreover, Adam’s old image must be erased, because it has been thoroughly infused with the serpent’s nature. Wesley continues, “Stamp Thine image in its place,” meaning to transform us into the Lord’s likeness. The hymn ends with a prayer: that the last Adam, in all His fullness, would restore our entire being. We should all praise the Lord that He now dwells in us, and that He is crushing the serpent’s head within us. He is the victorious seed of the woman.
