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.

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。

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

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

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.

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。

What is the way for a grain of wheat to multiply? It is not by being welcomed or honored, but by falling into the ground to die. This is absolutely contrary to the human concept. Nevertheless, we must remember that this is the only way to bring the church into being and to increase it in life.

什么是神的恩赐？如果你说神的恩赐就是基督，这个答案并不完全准确。神圣的生命才是神的恩赐，因为罗马六章二十三节说，神白白的恩赐乃是永远的生命。

祂如何从天上降下来？祂是藉着成为肉体降下来的。祂藉着有分于血肉之体（来二14）而成为人。祂是在肉体里来，并且祂来是作人。成为肉体是主成为我们的生命所采取的第一个步骤。

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。

有十二篮的零碎剩下来。为什么不是剩下五篮，八篮，或十一篮？因为十二这数字表征永远的完整和永远的完全。这就是说，甚至零碎也是永远完满和永远完整的。甚至微小、零碎的基督也满了取用不竭的丰富。

Everything is clear to us because now we have both the sight and the light. The sunshine is actually within us. Our eyes are opened and we can see very clearly because we have received sight and are now in the light.

What would have happened if the blind man had refused to obey the Lord’s command to go and wash?

重生是为着基督的扩增，是为着产生新妇。重生是为叫你成为基督新妇的一部分。约翰三章是讲重生，为着基督的扩增。许多基督徒只看见重生本身，并未看见重生的目的。重生是单为叫你有永远的生命吗？不是！不只这么多。重生乃是为着把我们建造到新妇里，这新妇就是基督的扩增。

三节指明主为门徒洗脚的原因

In order for the Lord to abide in us, it is necessary to let His words abide in us.

In order to be our Savior, He, as a man, laid down His human life to accomplish redemption for us that we might receive His zoe life. He laid down His human life in order that we, after being redeemed, might receive His zoe life, the eternal life.

On the one hand, we are the new creation, we are in God, and we are in the heavenlies.

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