1490. 创世记 12:18. 法老就召了亚伯兰来说, 你向我作的是什么? 你为什么不告诉我她是你的妻子呢?

“法老就召了亚伯兰来” 表主的回忆. “说, 你向我作的是什么” 表这回忆令祂悲伤. “(你为什么不告诉我) 她是你的妻子呢” 表当主意识到祂应当拥有与属天之物联结的真理, 而非其它真理之时.

Title: Father Abraham

Topic: The Word

Summary: The true, spiritual meaning why many people in the Old and New Testaments are said to refer to Abraham as their father is that both "Abraham" and "father" mean love. A state of love is the "land of Abraham" that has been promised to us all, if we want it.
