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.

In the Old Testament the children of Israel were a vine in the eyes of God

Glorified simply means manifested.

Now is the time for you to take Christ as your pasture and to enjoy Him as your everything. You must live in Him and take Him as your all.

Lord would prepare a place, accomplish redemption, open up the way, and make a standing for man to get into God.

The Lord is the door to the sheepfold. Originally, the fold was the law, and the Lord was the door into the law. The Lord was not only the door into the law; He is also the door for people to come out of the law.

在地方教会中，我们只需要两件东西：活的话和无限量的灵。今天，教会的元首基督，仍在供应这两件东西。我信祂特别将供应活话的负担给了我们。虽然我们将这话说了出来，供应这话的却不是我们。我们讲说，但供应的乃是祂。

The Lord said that He will give sight to those who cannot see, but that He will make blind those who claim to see. This is a serious vindication of the Lord. Thus, we must be humble and not proud.

七章的末日，是指我们一生中的许多末日。你所宝贵的那件衣服有末日，你的婚姻生活有末日，每样东西都有末日。在你节期的末日－在你欢乐并享受后，仍觉干渴时－你必须来到一这位耶稣这里，接受活水解你干渴。

When the Lord Jesus as the Son of Man was lifted up in the form of a serpent, He not only removed our sins and dealt with our serpentine nature but also destroyed Satan and the satanic world system that hangs upon him. Now, by His death, we are redeemed, delivered, have the divine life, and are overcoming the world.
