所有的神迹、奇事和恩赐，都不过是我们藉以接触基督的见证。今天的问题是人虽然有了见证，却未接触主自己。人可能见到了神迹奇事，有了恩赐和圣经知识，却没有来接触主自己。只有主自己赐你生命。

We must keep our relationship in love and love one another by the life that is in us.

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

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:

这里的『水』象征物质享受和属世娱乐的消遣。这些都不能解除人深处的干渴，人无论喝了多少物质和属世的『水，』还会再渴。这些『水』喝得越多，干渴越加增。比方说，在受教育的事上，人喜欢得更高的学位。在拿到学士学位之后，就想要硕士；拿到了硕士，又想要博士。
