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

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。

那搅动池水的使者，象征颁赐律法的经手人，这律法不能赐人生命。（加三19，21。）搅动池水使人痊愈，表征实行守律法，想要使人完全。他看见水动的时候就充满了期望，但他无法及时赶上前去。因为他无能，不能行动，所以他得不到医治。照样，因着我们的软弱，我们不能遵守律法。律法是好的，圣别的，属灵的；律法本身没有问题，问题在于我们。

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

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

When the Lord did not want to go, they were puzzled, and when the Lord was about to go, they thought that it was not necessary to go. Once the Lord expressed His desire to go and see Lazarus, all of the disciples expressed their opinions.

Lord said that those who believe in Him will do greater works than He did

在祂能成为我们的食物之前，祂必须先成为微小的。所以二个小孩带来的五个小的大麦饼和两条小鱼就象征了祂。我们需要对主的伟大和祂的微小，同样有深刻印象。祂甚至生在小马槽里，长在小城中，并且在卑微的家庭中被抚育。祂不是来作宗教伟人。祂是小小的拿撒勒人，毫无伟大之处。哦，祂是何等微小！

It is not simply that Mary loved the Lord, but that she poured out her best upon the Lord, and this becomes a sign of the proper church life. In the proper church life we all must love the Lord to such an extent.

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.

If people will receive this light, they will have God. He is the manifestation of God as light, and if you receive Him as light, you will have God. If a man believes in Him, he will not remain in darkness.

When the Lord came, Martha was the first one to meet Him (11:20). But before the Lord could say anything, Martha opened her mouth and gave forth another opinion:

We are an abode to God, and God is an abode to us. This is the real building. This is the proper and correct meaning of the Lord’s word found in this chapter.

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。

主虽然是永远无限的神，（罗九5，）却作了人在地上生活，甚至受时间的限制。主甘愿失去祂的自由，受时间的约束，实行父的旨意，好将生命的活水供应我们。

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.
