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。

The Lord’s going was not His departure but actually another step of His coming.

然而，有些人接受了带进生命的生命树，（创二9，）按着基督内在的实际认祂。（约七40，50～51。）不要注意外貌，必须看见里面有什么。里面有基督吗？我们都必须按着内在的实际，不按着外貌认基督。

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。

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

This warns us that the real foot-washing is only for the people who are genuinely in the fellowship with the Lord.

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

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

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。

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.

Here I must issue a warning: Never consider that the Father and the Son are two separate gods.

请你读撒迦利亚二章八至十一节。
