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.

这里的『水』象征物质享受和属世娱乐的消遣。这些都不能解除人深处的干渴，人无论喝了多少物质和属世的『水，』还会再渴。这些『水』喝得越多，干渴越加增。比方说，在受教育的事上，人喜欢得更高的学位。在拿到学士学位之后，就想要硕士；拿到了硕士，又想要博士。

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

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.

To remain in the fellowship of the Lord maintained by the foot-washing requires the strength of resurrection life. We can never do it by our natural man.

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。

子赐生命给死人。我们看见，那听子话，又信差子来者的，就有永远的生命，是已经出死入生了。

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.

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

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

主的食物就是实行差祂来者的旨意，这就是说，祂的食物就是拯救并满足罪人。我们罪人乃是救主的满足。你的饥饿表明主是饥饿的，你的干渴也表明主是干渴的。但是当你满足了，主也满足了。

黑暗永远不能胜过光，消灭光，光却能驱散黑暗。当生命的光照在我们里面，黑暗绝不能胜过它。并且这光是真光，照亮每一个人。 当神这神圣的生命在我们里面，作生命之光照亮时，我们就在祂的光照之下。我们借着接受神的话从神而生，就有神作我们的生命，并且这生命成为我们里面的光，一直在照亮。

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.

What a mystery this is! The Lord says that the Son is in the Father and that the Father is in the Son!

The Lord is not the way to bring the believers into heaven but the way to bring them into the Father.

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.

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。）

罪、义、审判－都各与一个人物有关。
