May we look to Him for mercy and grace that we may always give Him the ground to expand within us

主预先告诉门徒，好叫他们在逼迫来临时不至受挫、绊跌，也不至受迷惑。

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

我们必须使查考神的话和摸着主成为一件事。每逢我们读圣经，我们必须将我们的灵向主敞开。当我们的眼睛在阅读圣经的话，我们的心思在领会这些话时，我们的灵必须操练藉着圣经接触主。这样，我们不但在头脑里领会圣经上的白纸黑字，还在我们的灵中得到生命。

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.

The Lord has the resurrection life, the resurrection power, but it needs our cooperation. It needs our submission. What is our submission? It is simply the giving up of our opinion. You must forsake your opinion and allow the Lord to speak.

For us to maintain pleasant fellowship with the Lord and with one another we need spiritual foot-washing.

after His resurrection the Lord became the Spirit of reality. First Corinthians 15:45 confirms this.

John 10:21 helps us to realize that chapter ten is a continuation of chapter nine, in these two chapters, two major aspects of the Lord’s being are revealed: the Lord’s giving sight to the blind and the Lord’s shepherding of the believers outside of religion.

Glorified simply means manifested.

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

神已往所作的是旧造；父和子正在作的，乃是藉着救赎以完成神建造的新造。这工包括了子的赐人生命，就是这事例所显明的。在这事上，父与子是一。在赐人生命的事上，凡父要作的，子就照样作。

人从外面看耶稣，只见祂是个拿撒勒人。祂无佳形美容，也无美貌使人羡慕。但在祂里面，祂就是神。有时我对主说，『主阿，为什么在美国，你带到教会的人很少是体面的，甚至有些人还衣冠不整的来聚会？』但我终于看出那些瓦器里有宝贝。
