2328. 创世记 19:2. 说, 看哪, 我主啊, 请你们转到仆人家里, 住一夜, 洗洗脚, 清早起来再赶路. 他们说, 不, 我们要在街上过夜.

“说, 看哪, 我主啊” 表对主的神圣人性和神圣活动的一种内在承认和表白. “请你们转到仆人家里, 住一夜” 表邀请到他家里作客. “请你们转到仆人家里” 表居于仁之善. “洗洗脚” 表适应其属世层. “清早起来再赶路” 表以这种方式得以巩固在良善与真理中. “他们说, 不” 表质疑, 这在试探期间是很常见的. “我们要在街上过夜” 表祂可以说愿意通过真理审判.

When we eat, our bodies break down the food and get from it both energy and materials for building and repairing the body. The process is similar on a symbolic level in the Bible. Food represents the desire for good and the insight that comes from that desire for good – goodness and understanding that come from the Lord. But to put them to use we have to take them in and make them our own – which is spiritual eating.
