The Lord is the door to the sheepfold. Originally, the fold was the law, and the Lord was the door into the law. The Lord was not only the door into the law; He is also the door for people to come out of the law.

这撒玛利亚妇人的干渴引她陷入好些错误的事里，诸如有过五个丈夫，又与一个不是她丈夫的人同居。那六个男人代表看得见和物质的事物，那永远不能满足人。

Everything is clear to us because now we have both the sight and the light. The sunshine is actually within us. Our eyes are opened and we can see very clearly because we have received sight and are now in the light.

What would have happened if the blind man had refused to obey the Lord’s command to go and wash?

子赐生命给死人。我们看见，那听子话，又信差子来者的，就有永远的生命，是已经出死入生了。

Blindness indicates the lack of life. If you have life, then you have sight, for light opens your eyes. So, first of all, the Lord pointed out that the blind man needed the light of life.

In the eyes of the Lord, the religious system, as part of Satan’s system,

我们一天必须吃三餐，好叫我们能以活着。换句话说，我们是凭吃活着。照样，我们必须吃主，好叫我们能凭主活着。约翰六章全章最重要的点就是：主是我们的食物，是生命的粮。吃祂不是一次永远的事，乃是天天的事，甚至是时时刻刻对主的经历。

When the Lord did not want to go, they were puzzled, and when the Lord was about to go, they thought that it was not necessary to go. Once the Lord expressed His desire to go and see Lazarus, all of the disciples expressed their opinions.

罪、义、审判－都各与一个人物有关。

To remain in the fellowship of the Lord maintained by the foot-washing requires the strength of resurrection life. We can never do it by our natural man.

Satan, the enemy of God, has organized a system known as the cosmos.

The Holy Spirit is the reality of all things, and we are to be witnesses of the Spirit of reality.

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。

Now we are in the zoe life under one shepherd to be one flock. This is not an organization; it is a flocking together in life. It is wonderful. Hallelujah! The flock is not a matter of religion, but of life.

神所要、所预定我们作的工，乃是信入祂的儿子。在二十九节，主耶稣并不是告诉我们要『信祂，』乃是要『信入祂。』
『信入祂』的意思是接受祂，并与祂联结，相调为一。你信入祂的时候，你与基督之间就有了一个联结和合一。换句话说，你已进入祂里面，也将祂接受到你里面。

The Lord’s going was not His departure but actually another step of His coming.

那瞎子就宣告说，『主阿，我信。』就拜耶稣。（约九38。）他相信这人耶稣是神的儿子。因此，那瞎子不但得着了视力，他自己也被主耶稣接纳了。

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.

The whole Gospel of John also reveals that the Lord is the Word and the Spirit. There is such a thought throughout the whole Gospel. Once you see the wonderful person of the Lord in this Gospel, you will ask, “Where is He and how can I contact Him?” Praise the Lord that He is in the Word and in the Spirit, for He is the Word and He is the Spirit.
