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！

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.

John the Baptist pointed to Christ because the age of the sheepfold was over and a new age had begun. All of the chosen people of God had to give up the fold and come to Him.The testimony of John the Baptist was simply that of urging people to come out of the fold and to enter the pasture.
