雅各经历了这些更深刻、更切身的对付以后,就在希伯仑进入了与主完全的交通(创三五27)。在希伯仑的交通,意思是亲密、平安、满足和喜乐。在教会生活中是美妙的。然而,我们在刚开始经历教会生活的时候,并没有完全的交通。这交通是在希伯仑。今天许多在教会生活中的人,并不是在亲密、平安、满足和喜乐的属灵光景中。所以虽然你已经在教会生活中,但你仍需要往前,经过更深刻、更切身的对付,直到来到希伯仑,进入与主完全的交通里。在这交通中,你与主之间会有完全的喜乐、满足、平安和亲密。
创世记三十五章二十七节说,『雅各来到他父亲以撒那里,到了基列亚巴的幔利,乃是亚伯拉罕和以撒寄居的地方;基列亚巴就是希伯仑。』亚伯拉罕到了示剑(创十二6),经过伯特利(创十二8),并住在希伯仑(创十三18,十八1)。以撒几乎一生都住在希伯仑。因此,雅各跟随亚伯拉罕的脚踪来到示剑(创三三18),经过伯特利(创三五6),并住在希伯仑。我们都需要来到希伯仑。虽然我们是在教会生活中,但我们没有安息、完全的平安、喜乐和亲密,直到我们在灵里往前到希伯仑。在希伯仑这里,我们享受了与主美妙的亲密。希伯仑也是我们生命成熟的地方。在三十七章一节,雅各开始成熟,因为他在希伯仑。
信息重点:经过更深、更切身的对付以后,雅各来到希伯仑,进入与主完全的交通。伯特利不是终点,我们还需要在生命里继续往前,直到与主之间有亲密、平安、满足和喜乐的交通,并在这样的交通中逐渐成熟。
应用祷告:主耶稣,求你使我不满足于已有的属灵经历,带我继续往前。愿我接受你在环境中更深的对付,使我更多活在与你亲密的交通里,享受你的平安、满足和喜乐,并在生命里逐渐成熟。阿们。

Entering into Full Fellowship — Hebron — Gen. 35:27
After Jacob passed through these deeper, more intimate dealings, he entered into full fellowship with the Lord at Hebron (Gen. 35:27). Fellowship at Hebron means intimacy, peace, satisfaction and joy. This is wonderful in the church life. However, when we first begin to experience the church life, we do not yet have full fellowship. This fellowship is found at Hebron. Today, many who are in the church life are not in a spiritual condition of intimacy, peace, satisfaction and joy. So although you are already in the church life, you still need to go on, passing through deeper, more intimate dealings, until you arrive at Hebron and enter into full fellowship with the Lord. In this fellowship, there will be complete joy, satisfaction, peace and intimacy between you and the Lord.
Genesis 35:27 says, “Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre of Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.” Abraham came to Shechem (Gen. 12:6), passed through Bethel (Gen. 12:8), and dwelt in Hebron (Gen. 13:18; 18:1). Isaac spent almost his entire life at Hebron. Therefore, Jacob followed in Abraham’s footsteps, coming to Shechem (Gen. 33:18), passing through Bethel (Gen. 35:6), and dwelling in Hebron. We all need to come to Hebron. Although we are in the church life, we do not have rest, full peace, joy and intimacy until we go on in spirit to Hebron. Here at Hebron, we enjoy wonderful intimacy with the Lord. Hebron is also the place of our maturity in life. In 37:1, Jacob began to mature, because he was at Hebron.
Message Main Points: After passing through deeper, more intimate dealings, Jacob came to Hebron and entered into full fellowship with the Lord. Bethel is not the end; we still need to press on in life until there is a fellowship of intimacy, peace, satisfaction and joy between us and the Lord, and to gradually mature in such a fellowship.
Daily Prayer: Lord Jesus, make me not to be satisfied with the spiritual experience I already have, but lead me to press on. May I accept Your deeper dealing in my environment, that I may live more in intimate fellowship with You, enjoying Your peace, satisfaction and joy, and gradually mature in life. Amen.
