将基督的丰富带给新妇
那灵也将基督的丰富带给新妇（创二四10，22，47，53）。骆驼喝足了，仆人就将一个金环戴在利百加的鼻子上，两个金镯戴在她的手上（创二四22）。抓住人最好的方法，是抓住他的鼻子。利百加鼻子上有金环，手上有金镯，意思就是她已被抓住了。仆人送给她这些东西之后，就问她说，“请告诉我，你是谁的女儿？你父亲家里有我们住宿的地方没有？”（创二四23）。当那仆人被带到利百加的家中，他就见证以撒的丰富。利百加的哥哥拉班和父亲彼土利，接受了那仆人的提亲，他就将以撒更多的丰富－金器、银器和衣服送给利百加（创二四53）。他又将宝物送给她哥哥，和她母亲。
这正是约翰十六章十三至十五节所启示关于那灵的事。在这些经节里主耶稣说，那灵并不是从祂自己说的，乃是要荣耀子。凡父所有的，都是祂的，那灵要将从祂所领受的宣示与门徒。亚伯拉罕仆人的见证非常丰富。仆人说，耶和华大大的赐福给他主人，使他昌大；他主人也将一切所有的，都给了他的儿子以撒；并且主人嘱咐他为他儿子娶一个妻子。利百加听了这见证，就被以撒吸引，愿意到他那里去。
这描绘出圣灵如何临到我们，见证基督的丰富。今天基督是被立要承受父一切丰富的那位。我们知道这事，因为那灵已经藉着圣经告诉我们。因着那灵的见证，我们都被基督吸引。每个得救、爱主、寻求主的人，都这样被吸引。我们不在意世人所寻求的东西。我们喜欢来到教会的聚会中，告诉主耶稣我们是多么爱祂。哦，我们爱祂，我们寻求祂，我们赞美祂！我们一遍又一遍的说，“主耶稣，我爱你。”利百加藉着亚伯拉罕的仆人带给她的礼物，认识了以撒的丰富。今天我们藉着那灵所分给我们的恩赐，认识基督从父所领受的丰富。
那灵也说服新妇，并将新妇带给基督
豫表那灵的仆人把丰富带给利百加以后，她就被说服，愿意嫁给以撒。虽然她的亲属要她迟延一些时候，但利百加听了仆人所作以撒的见证，就说，“我去。”（创二四58）。她愿意到迦南地的以撒那里去。同样，我们愿意到基督那里去。虽然我们从未见过祂，却受祂吸引，并且爱祂（彼前一8）。虽然利百加从未见过以撒，她却爱他。当利百加骑上骆驼，要去和以撒在一起时，她一定多次说，“以撒，我爱你！我要见你，并且和你在一起！”今天我们也是这样。当我们走在漫长的旅途上，我们一次又一次的说，“耶稣，我爱你。我渴慕遇见你，并且和你同在。”
最后仆人将利百加带给以撒（创二四51，61-67）。虽然那是漫长的旅程，但他将利百加献给以撒作新妇。圣灵已经说服我们，现今正在把我们带给基督。
每日一问：老仆人向利百加展示以撒家的丰富，说服她并将她带给以撒。这预表了圣灵的哪些工作？

Isaac’s Marriage – The Mission of the Spirit (2) – Gen. 24:22
Bringing the Riches of Christ to the Bride
The Spirit also brings the riches of Christ to the bride (Gen. 24:10, 22, 47, 53). After the camels had drunk their fill, the servant put a gold ring on Rebekah’s nose and two gold bracelets on her hands (Gen. 24:22). The best way to catch someone is to catch their nose. With a gold ring on her nose and gold bracelets on her hands, it meant she had been caught. After the servant gave her these things, he asked her, “Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room for us to lodge in your father’s house?” (Gen. 24:23). When the servant was brought into Rebekah’s house, he testified of Isaac’s riches. Rebekah’s brother Laban and father Bethuel accepted the servant’s proposal, and he gave more of Isaac’s riches—gold ornaments, silver ornaments and clothing—to Rebekah (Gen. 24:53). He also gave precious things to her brother and her mother.
This is exactly what is revealed about the Spirit in John 16:13-15. In these verses, the Lord Jesus says that the Spirit will not speak from Himself, but He will glorify the Son. All that the Father has is His, and the Spirit will receive from Him and announce it to the disciples. The testimony of Abraham’s servant was very rich. The servant said that Jehovah had greatly blessed his master, and he had become great; his master also gave all that he had to his son Isaac; and the master charged him to take a wife for his son. Rebekah heard this testimony and was attracted by Isaac, and she was willing to go to him.
This depicts how the Holy Spirit comes to us to testify of the riches of Christ. Today, Christ is the One appointed to inherit all the riches of the Father. We know this because the Spirit has already told us through the Bible. Because of the Spirit’s testimony, we are all attracted to Christ. Everyone who is saved, loves the Lord, and seeks the Lord is attracted in this way. We do not care for the things that the people of the world seek. We love to come to the meetings of the church to tell the Lord Jesus how much we love Him. Oh, we love Him, we seek Him, we praise Him! We say again and again, “Lord Jesus, I love You.” Rebekah recognized Isaac’s riches through the gifts the servant brought her. Today, we recognize the riches Christ has received from the Father through the gifts the Spirit distributes to us.
The Spirit Also Persuades the Bride and Brings Her to Christ
After the servant, who typifies the Spirit, brought the riches to Rebekah, she was persuaded and willing to marry Isaac. Although her relatives wanted her to delay for a while, Rebekah heard the servant’s testimony concerning Isaac and said, “I will go” (Gen. 24:58). She was willing to go to Isaac in the land of Canaan. Similarly, we are willing to go to Christ. Although we have never seen Him, we are attracted to Him and we love Him (1 Pet. 1:8). Although Rebekah had never seen Isaac, she loved him. When Rebekah rode on the camel to be with Isaac, she must have said many times, “Isaac, I love you! I want to see you and be with you!” It is the same with us today. As we walk on this long journey, we say again and again, “Jesus, I love You. I long to meet You and be with You.”
Finally, the servant brought Rebekah to Isaac (Gen. 24:51, 61-67). Although it was a long journey, he presented Rebekah to Isaac as his bride. The Holy Spirit has persuaded us and is now bringing us to Christ.
Daily Q: The old servant displayed the riches of Isaac’s house to Rebekah to persuade her and bring her to Isaac. What works of the Holy Spirit does this typify?
