三节指明主为门徒洗脚的原因

这是整个宇宙的奥秘。 许多弟兄姊妹要看见神性与人性调和的这件事

我们必须使查考神的话和摸着主成为一件事。每逢我们读圣经，我们必须将我们的灵向主敞开。当我们的眼睛在阅读圣经的话，我们的心思在领会这些话时，我们的灵必须操练藉着圣经接触主。这样，我们不但在头脑里领会圣经上的白纸黑字，还在我们的灵中得到生命。

神所要、所预定我们作的工，乃是信入祂的儿子。在二十九节，主耶稣并不是告诉我们要『信祂，』乃是要『信入祂。』
『信入祂』的意思是接受祂，并与祂联结，相调为一。你信入祂的时候，你与基督之间就有了一个联结和合一。换句话说，你已进入祂里面，也将祂接受到你里面。

The sheep are God’s chosen people. In eternity past, God with His foresight had chosen His people. In time, before Christ came, God put His chosen people into the custody of the law. After Christ came, He wanted all of His people to come out of the law’s custody.

The Greek word for Comforter is the same as that for Advocate in 1 John 2:1

在地方教会中，我们只需要两件东西：活的话和无限量的灵。今天，教会的元首基督，仍在供应这两件东西。我信祂特别将供应活话的负担给了我们。虽然我们将这话说了出来，供应这话的却不是我们。我们讲说，但供应的乃是祂。

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。

He did not groan over the death of Lazarus, but over the fact that not one of the sorrowful ones knew that He was the present resurrection, and He was troubled by this.  At this juncture, the Lord wept in sympathy with their sorrow over Lazarus’s death.

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

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。

Praise the Lord that there is another father, the heavenly Father, the Father of light and truth. He is the great I Am, who became incarnated as a man. As the Son of Man, He was lifted up on the cross for our sin and died for us.

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.

In the Scriptures a garment signifies what we do and how we act.

罪、义、审判－都各与一个人物有关。

惟独祂是在复活里活着的一位。成为肉体是头一步骤，钉十字架是第二步骤，复活是第三步骤，藉此主就使自己便于作我们的生命。

The Lord is the door to the sheepfold. Originally, the fold was the law, and the Lord was the door into the law. The Lord was not only the door into the law; He is also the door for people to come out of the law.
