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！

“Before Abraham came into being, I am.” According to grammar, He should have said, “I was.” But He is the present One, the I Am. Whether it is past, present, or future, He is always the present One.

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

We need to pray for much fruit-bearing that the Father may be glorified

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。

In order to be our Savior, He, as a man, laid down His human life to accomplish redemption for us that we might receive His zoe life. He laid down His human life in order that we, after being redeemed, might receive His zoe life, the eternal life.

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

今天的关键乃在于我们信或不信。

什么是神的恩赐？如果你说神的恩赐就是基督，这个答案并不完全准确。神圣的生命才是神的恩赐，因为罗马六章二十三节说，神白白的恩赐乃是永远的生命。

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.

所有的神迹、奇事和恩赐，都不过是我们藉以接触基督的见证。今天的问题是人虽然有了见证，却未接触主自己。人可能见到了神迹奇事，有了恩赐和圣经知识，却没有来接触主自己。只有主自己赐你生命。

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.
