【读圣经学英语】上了山

马太福音-Matthew 5章1节

5:1 但祂看见这些群众,就上了山;既已坐下,门徒到祂跟前来。
And when He saw the crowds, He went up to the mountain. And after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

Enlightenment:

 The new King called His followers by the seashore, but He went up into the mountain to give them the constitution of the kingdom of the heavens. This indicates that we need to go higher with Him for the realization of the kingdom of the heavens.

It is very meaningful that the constitution of the kingdom of the heavens was decreed upon a mountain. The sea signifies the Satan-corrupted world. When we were caught by the Lord, we were in the Satan-corrupted world endeavoring to make a living. But after the Lord caught us, He led us up to a high mountain signifying the kingdom of the heavens. This indicates that the kingdom of the heavens was not established on the seashore, but on the mountain.

亮光

新王是在海边呼召跟从祂的人,但祂是上了山,将诸天之国的宪法赐给他们。这指明我们需要同祂上到更高之处,以领略诸天的国。

诸天之国的宪法是在山上颁布的,这很有意义。海表征撒但所败坏的世界。我们被主抓住时,是在撒但所败坏的世界里竭力谋生。但主抓住我们之后,祂就带我们上到表征诸天之国的高山。这指明诸天的国不是建立在海边,乃是建立在山上
