The living testimony of the church always causes people to believe in the Lord and brings people into the church life. The increase of the church must depend upon the church’s living testimony, not only upon the preaching of the gospel. The best preaching of the gospel that makes the church to increase is our living testimony of experiencing the Lord as our life.

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.

审判与魔鬼有关。

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

主问，『你想要痊愈吗？』意思就是：『你想要得医治吗？』那软弱的人除了池子、水、和搅动水的使者以外，别无所知。他也晓得在自己里面没有希望，没有能力，所以就将他的光景向主耶稣说明。于是主耶稣对他说，『起来，拿你的褥子走吧。』那软弱的人听了那永活、赐生命的主那点活人的话，就痊愈了。

Hallelujah, the Lord has raised us from the dead and cleansed us from our leprosy, our sins! Now where we are becomes the meeting place of the church.

if you obey the living Word and say, “Amen, Lord Jesus,” you immediately have the sensation that something has fallen off your eyes and you have light. Your old humanity has fallen away and you can see into the heavens. This is the way to receive light.

There are three steps which we must follow in order to receive sight for our eyes.

神所要、所预定我们作的工，乃是信入祂的儿子。在二十九节，主耶稣并不是告诉我们要『信祂，』乃是要『信入祂。』
『信入祂』的意思是接受祂，并与祂联结，相调为一。你信入祂的时候，你与基督之间就有了一个联结和合一。换句话说，你已进入祂里面，也将祂接受到你里面。

主已经成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天、从肉体变化形像成为那灵、并且具体化于话。话乃是主的灵的具体化身。你不能说你不知道如何接触主，因为主已经具体化于话。祂是灵，也是话。你若接受话，就有那灵作你对基督的享受。

那灵，就是基督的灵，（罗八9，）耶稣基督的灵，（腓一19，）在主说这话时还没有，因为祂尚未得着荣耀。耶稣是在复活时得着荣耀的。（路二四26。）祂复活后，神的灵就成了那成为肉体、钉十字架、复活之耶稣基督的灵。基督在祂复活的晚上，已将这灵吹到门徒里面。（约二十22。）

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

The day mentioned in this verse is the day of resurrection.

The Jewish priests took counsel that they might kill Lazarus (12:10) who testified to the resurrection power of the Lord. He was an evident and strong testimony of the Lord’s resurrection power.

『生命的复活，』这是千年国之前，得救信徒的复活。（启二十4，6，林前十五23，52，帖前四16。）已死的信徒要在主耶稣回来时复活，享受永远的生命，因此称为生命的复活。主耶稣回来时，所有已死的信徒将要复活，和活着的信徒一同被提到空中。（帖前四17。）然后得胜的信徒要与主耶稣一同作王一千年。

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。

The Lord told us to wash one another’s feet.

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.
