三
联于宝座并从宝座出来的街道乃是“交通的街道”；神圣的交通将神带给所有蒙神救赎的人，好将他们带回归神自己，使祂成为他们的宝座，在他们里面施行金的行政管理─启二一18下，二二1~2，二一21下，参结一22、26，王上十18。

我们应当照着生命树的原则，就是倚靠的原则而活，不应当照着善恶知识树的原则，就是独立的原则而活─创二9、17，罗八6：

伍
在我们对主的事奉中，我们必须弃绝我们天然的热心、天然的力量和天然的才干；我们的事奉必须是从我们流出生命，成为对别人生命的供应─约七38，林后三6，约壹五16上：
In our service to the Lord, we must reject our natural enthusiasm, natural strength, and natural ability; our service must be life flowing out of us as a ministry of life to others—John 7:38; 2 Cor. 3:6; 1 John 5:16a:

２
