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.

What is the meaning of “in My name”? The name is the Son Himself, and the Spirit is the person, the being, of the Son. When we call on the name of the Son, we get the Spirit

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.

The branches are in an intimate relationship with the vine

As long as we have eternal life, we have eternal security. What can be more secure than eternal life? I have the real insurance policy in my spirit. Not only do I have eternal life, but I have two hands—the Son’s hand of power and the Father’s hand of love.

This warns us that the real foot-washing is only for the people who are genuinely in the fellowship with the Lord.

The Spirit and the Word will bring us into the principle of life in resurrection. If we take Him in the Spirit and through the Word, we shall then be satisfied, enlightened, freed, and resurrected.

摩西被带到山上领受神的启示。（出二四12。）主耶稣去到山顶上，在那里变了形像。（太十七1～2。）使徒约翰也被带到山上，在超越的地位上看见关于新耶路撒冷那永远的异象。（启二一10。）

我们若要从基督得喂养，就必须超越撒但所败坏的世界，也超越神所创造的地。我们若要享受祂的喂养，就必须与祂同在山上。

If we all live by the Lord’s life as the source, in the Lord’s love as the condition, and for fruit-bearing as the goal, we surely will love one another.
