One day, though we all may die, we will all be resurrected. Throughout the whole universe this will be the greatest victory, the victory that will testify that the Lord is the resurrection. However, even in our daily life we may have the foretaste of the ultimate victory of that resurrection.

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

『生命的复活，』这是千年国之前，得救信徒的复活。（启二十4，6，林前十五23，52，帖前四16。）已死的信徒要在主耶稣回来时复活，享受永远的生命，因此称为生命的复活。主耶稣回来时，所有已死的信徒将要复活，和活着的信徒一同被提到空中。（帖前四17。）然后得胜的信徒要与主耶稣一同作王一千年。

The Lord as a grain of wheat falling into the ground lost His soul-life through death that He might release His eternal life to the “many grains” in resurrection. We as the many grains must lose our soul-life through death that we may enjoy the eternal life in resurrection. This is to follow Him that we might serve Him, as mentioned in verse 26.

Here we see the case of a man who had died, who had been buried for four days, and who had begun to stink. Nevertheless, he was resurrected.

主已经成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天、从肉体变化形像成为那灵、并且具体化于话。话乃是主的灵的具体化身。你不能说你不知道如何接触主，因为主已经具体化于话。祂是灵，也是话。你若接受话，就有那灵作你对基督的享受。

Whenever we listen to His speaking and keep His commandments, His presence is immediately intensified and becomes so sweet, precious, watering, strengthening, enlightening, and nourishing.

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.

John the Baptist pointed to Christ because the age of the sheepfold was over and a new age had begun. All of the chosen people of God had to give up the fold and come to Him.The testimony of John the Baptist was simply that of urging people to come out of the fold and to enter the pasture.

“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.
