主问，『你想要痊愈吗？』意思就是：『你想要得医治吗？』那软弱的人除了池子、水、和搅动水的使者以外，别无所知。他也晓得在自己里面没有希望，没有能力，所以就将他的光景向主耶稣说明。于是主耶稣对他说，『起来，拿你的褥子走吧。』那软弱的人听了那永活、赐生命的主那点活人的话，就痊愈了。

Praise the Lord that there is another father, the heavenly Father, the Father of light and truth. He is the great I Am, who became incarnated as a man. As the Son of Man, He was lifted up on the cross for our sin and died for us.

May we look to Him for mercy and grace that we may always give Him the ground to expand within us

In the Scriptures a garment signifies what we do and how we act.

救主知道罪人在那里，祂知道罪人的真实情况。主耶稣去井旁，把门徒统统打发走，就坐在井旁，一直等到那妇人来到。你若回顾你的得救，就看见至少在某种程度上，同样的原则也在运作。不是你到天上，乃是主来就你。

只要我们有耶稣，一切宗教的事物就算不得什么；只要我们有耶稣，我们就有生命。让宗教同宗教的一切事物去吧。那些东西不能给我们生命，但耶稣能。耶稣将我们点活，耶稣给我们生命。生命带给我们喜乐，生命带给我们安息。生命带给我们亮光和我们所需要的一切。赞美主！

The death and resurrection of the Lord glorified God the Father because His death and resurrection released God’s divine element from within Him. 

这样吃祂的肉喝祂的血，就是相信祂在十字架上为我们所作成的，好在祂的救赎里，接受祂作生命和生命的供应。我们把这节与四十七节相比，就能看见，吃主的肉，喝主的血，等于相信祂，因为信或信入，就是接受。

On the one hand, we are the new creation, we are in God, and we are in the heavenlies.

然而，有些人接受了带进生命的生命树，（创二9，）按着基督内在的实际认祂。（约七40，50～51。）不要注意外貌，必须看见里面有什么。里面有基督吗？我们都必须按着内在的实际，不按着外貌认基督。

Lord never comes to improve you or to regulate your behavior. He always comes to enliven you. The Lord’s only intention is to impart Himself to you as the enlivening life.

Whenever we listen to His speaking and keep His commandments, His presence is immediately intensified and becomes so sweet, precious, watering, strengthening, enlightening, and nourishing.

If God was going to solve all the basic problems of man, He had to become a man Himself. Satan knows the importance of this. Satan was not afraid of the Lord Jesus being the Son of God. He was afraid of the Lord Jesus being a man. Therefore, Jehovah God became a man.

我们若要认识主作生命的细节，就必须领会约翰福音。

We must keep our relationship in love and love one another by the life that is in us.

The Lord told us to wash one another’s feet.

我们都必须按着内在的实际，不按着外貌认基督。主在地上的时候，没有吸引人的外表。今天，在教会生活也是这样，没有什么吸引人的外表。然而，你若进入教会生活里面，就会在那里看见基督的美丽。祂不是那拿撒勒人，祂乃是大卫的后裔。这就是基督！阿利路亚！

It simply means that the resurrection life will raise up a situation through which God’s scattered people may be gathered together in order to be built up for God’s dwelling on earth.
