By the shining of the inner life and by the working of the divine element in our very being, we are set free from the slavery of sin. This resembles the medical treatment designed to cure diseases in our blood. It is very difficult to eliminate the disease from our blood. We need medicine.

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。

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

This is marvelous. He will not only be the One who abides in you, but He will also be your abode.

请你读撒迦利亚二章八至十一节。

Glorified simply means manifested.

Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin (8:34). A slave is always under a certain bondage. Satan, the devil, has brought all humankind under the bondage of sin by imparting himself into man as the sinful nature that compels man to sin. It is impossible for anyone to free himself from such a slavery.

“Before Abraham came into being, I am.” According to grammar, He should have said, “I was.” But He is the present One, the I Am. Whether it is past, present, or future, He is always the present One.

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.

救主知道罪人在那里，祂知道罪人的真实情况。主耶稣去井旁，把门徒统统打发走，就坐在井旁，一直等到那妇人来到。你若回顾你的得救，就看见至少在某种程度上，同样的原则也在运作。不是你到天上，乃是主来就你。

The living testimony of the church always causes people to believe in the Lord and brings people into the church life. The increase of the church must depend upon the church’s living testimony, not only upon the preaching of the gospel. The best preaching of the gospel that makes the church to increase is our living testimony of experiencing the Lord as our life.

那瞎子就宣告说，『主阿，我信。』就拜耶稣。（约九38。）他相信这人耶稣是神的儿子。因此，那瞎子不但得着了视力，他自己也被主耶稣接纳了。

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

The Spirit and the Word will bring us into the principle of life in resurrection. If we take Him in the Spirit and through the Word, we shall then be satisfied, enlightened, freed, and resurrected.

It simply means that the resurrection life will raise up a situation through which God’s scattered people may be gathered together in order to be built up for God’s dwelling on earth.
