B.　Everyone who is called of God must realize that he is just a thornbush (a sinner under God's curse—Gen. 3:17-18) with a fire burning within him and that this fire is the Triune God Himself, the God of resurrection—Deut. 33:16; Mark 12:26:

1.　The fact that the thornbush burned without being consumed indicates that God does not want to use our natural life as fuel; He will burn only with Himself as fuel—Lev. 10:1-11; Rom. 12:11; 2 Tim. 1:6-7; Phil. 4:13; Col. 1:29.

3.　The children of Israel, typifying today's church, were a corporate thorn-bush, who were redeemed (Exo. 13:14-16), sanctified (v. 2), transformed, and built up:
a　不要说召会可怜、下沉或发死;你越这样说，你自己就越受咒诅;然而你若为着召会生活赞美主，称赞召会生活，你自己就要蒙神的祝福─创十二2，民二三21，二四5、9下，林前一2，弗一3。
a.　Do not say that the church is poor, low, or dead; the more you say this, the more you put yourself under a curse; but if you praise the Lord for the church life and speak well concerning it, you will put yourself under God's blessing—Gen. 12:2; Num. 23:21; 24:5, 9b; 1 Cor. 1:2; Eph. 1:3.
b　虽然在哥林多的召会有分裂、犯罪、混乱、恩赐的滥用以及异端的教训，使徒仍称之为神的召会，因为那使一同聚集的信徒，成为神之召会的神圣、属灵素质，确实是在那里─林前一2
b.　In spite of all the division, sin, confusion, abuse of gifts, and heretical teaching in the church in Corinth, the apostle still called it the church of God, because the divine and spiritual essence which makes the assembled believers the church of God was actually there—1 Cor. 1:2.
四　三一神在祂所救赎的人里面和身上焚烧，这是圣经中神圣启示的中心点;火烧荆棘的记载，要对神所呼召的人成为不能磨灭的记念和见证─申三三16，可十二26。
D.　The Triune God burning within and upon His redeemed ones is the focal point of the divine revelation in the Scriptures; the record of the burning thornbush is to be a continuing memorial and testimony to God's called ones—Deut. 33:16; Mark 12:26.
