这里的『水』象征物质享受和属世娱乐的消遣。这些都不能解除人深处的干渴，人无论喝了多少物质和属世的『水，』还会再渴。这些『水』喝得越多，干渴越加增。比方说，在受教育的事上，人喜欢得更高的学位。在拿到学士学位之后，就想要硕士；拿到了硕士，又想要博士。

我们必须有信心，就是当我们与人谈话时，主已在得胜的作工了。撒玛利亚妇人是在顷刻之间转变的。在已过，我们见过好些人这样转变，超过我们所信的，主转变人的路是在灵里，

回答问题最智慧的办法就是不回答，或以后回答，或慢慢回答。主对他们的问题起初的反应是不立即回答。我们也必须学习这个智慧。当人问你一个紧迫的问题时，你必须向主学习。祂只弯下腰来，在地上写字。沉默使人冷静下来，就像冷水使滚水凉下来一样。

The brother, Lazarus, became seriously ill, and the sisters sent a message to the Lord, which means that they prayed to Him (11:3). There is nothing wrong with prayer. If you are in trouble, you must send a message to the Lord. At any time you can send a word to Him.

We are an abode to God, and God is an abode to us. This is the real building. This is the proper and correct meaning of the Lord’s word found in this chapter.

在祂能成为我们的食物之前，祂必须先成为微小的。所以二个小孩带来的五个小的大麦饼和两条小鱼就象征了祂。我们需要对主的伟大和祂的微小，同样有深刻印象。祂甚至生在小马槽里，长在小城中，并且在卑微的家庭中被抚育。祂不是来作宗教伟人。祂是小小的拿撒勒人，毫无伟大之处。哦，祂是何等微小！

do you also realize that you must apply the washing of the baptism day by day? In every day of your Christian life you have to apply the washing of baptism by putting the self and the nature of the old man under the water of death.

At this point, according to the worldly view, Jesus was in His golden time. The raising up of Lazarus from the dead was such a miracle that it shook all the people.

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

住棚节是在收割结束时，人已收藏了五谷和酒。（申十六13～14。）所有的庄稼都已收割了，人聚在一起守住棚节，与家人甚至仆人共享一切。我们必须知道，在住棚节时，人不再劳苦，因为工作已经完毕，庄稼都已收割，谷和酒都已收藏了。那是他们欢腾享受的时候，但他们仍是干渴！

Now is the time for you to take Christ as your pasture and to enjoy Him as your everything. You must live in Him and take Him as your all.

倘若你要健康，就需要享受耶稣的医治。耶稣是真正的保健食品店，来就耶稣，接触祂，并享受祂。你若不断有分于耶稣，就会得到上好的食物，真正的保健食品。我们何等需要神圣生命的医治！

主的食物就是实行差祂来者的旨意，这就是说，祂的食物就是拯救并满足罪人。我们罪人乃是救主的满足。你的饥饿表明主是饥饿的，你的干渴也表明主是干渴的。但是当你满足了，主也满足了。
