利百加—纯洁、仁慈又殷勤
创世记二十四章十六节告诉我们，利百加“容貌极其俊美，还是处女。”利百加是纯洁、单纯的，也是仁慈、殷勤的（创二四18-20）。亚伯拉罕的仆人要水喝，她立刻给他水喝。她也为他的骆驼打水。从井里打上水来，倒在槽里，给十只骆驼暍，对一个青年女子来说是件艰苦的工作，但她这样作了。青年姊妹若要在神的主宰之下，尤其是在婚姻的事上，她们就需要仁慈又殷勤。不仁慈又松懒的青年女子应当独身。人请你作一件事，你必须为他们作两件事，并且第二件事该远超过第一件事。你不仅该给人水喝。也该为他的十只骆驼打水。你若这样作，你就有资格得着你的丈夫，你的以撒。这是对所有青年单身姊妹的忠告。
利百加—绝对
利百加是绝对的（创二四57-58，61）。虽然她从来没有见过以撒，但她亳不犹豫的愿意去他那里。她没有对母亲说，“母亲，我从来没有见过以撒。也许我该先与他通信，然后请他来访问我们，我才能决定要不要和他结婚。”利百加没有这样说。虽然她的哥哥和母亲犹豫不决，要她至少再住十天，但她说，“我去。”她是绝对的。
我见过一些青年姊妹太过考虑婚姻的事，结果演变成精神问题。有的人花了多日，多周，多月，甚至多年，考虑一位弟兄是不是神为她豫备的人。青年姊妹们，你们若要结婚，必须学习仁慈、殷勤且绝对。
利百加—服从
利百加也是服从的（创二四64-65）。当她看见以撒，晓得他是谁的时候，“就拿帕子蒙上脸。”姊妹们，不要把一块布放在头上作装饰。这必须是你服从的记号。一旦你结婚了，你就不再是你自己的头。你的丈夫是你的头，你自己的头必须蒙起来。这是婚姻真实的意义。

Isaac’s Marriage (5) – Gen. 24:58
Rebekah — Pure, Kind and Diligent
Genesis 24:16 tells us that Rebekah “was very beautiful, a virgin.” Rebekah was pure and simple, and also kind and diligent (Gen. 24:18-20). When Abraham’s servant asked for a drink, she immediately gave him a drink. She also drew water for his camels. To draw water from a well and pour it into the trough for ten camels to drink was hard work for a young female, yet she did it. If young sisters are to be under God’s sovereignty, especially in the matter of marriage, they need to be kind and diligent. A young female who is unkind and lazy should remain single. If a person asks you to do one thing, you must do two things for them, and the second thing should far exceed the first. You should not only give a man a drink. You should also draw water for his ten camels. If you do this, you are qualified to obtain your husband, your Isaac. This is a word of advice to all young single sisters.
Rebekah — Absolute
Rebekah was absolute (Gen. 24:57-58, 61). Although she had never met Isaac, she was willing to go to him without hesitation. She did not say to her mother, “Mother, I have never met Isaac. Perhaps I should correspond with him first, and then ask him to visit us before I can decide whether or not to marry him.” Rebekah did not speak this way. Although her brother and mother hesitated, wanting her to stay at least ten more days, she said, “I will go”. She was absolute.
I have seen some young sisters who considered the matter of marriage too much, and the result turned into a mental problem. Some spent many days, many weeks, many months and even many years considering whether a brother was the one prepared by God for them. Young sisters, if you want to get married, you must learn to be kind, diligent and absolute.
Rebekah — Submissive
Rebekah was also submissive (Gen. 24:64-65). When she saw Isaac and realized who he was, she “took a veil, and covered herself.” Sisters, do not put a piece of cloth on your head for decoration. This must be a sign of your submission. Once you are married, you are no longer your own head. Your husband is your head, and your own head must be covered. This is the real meaning of marriage.
