你现今在过什么节－逾越节还是住棚节？不论你在过什么节，你仍是饥饿或干渴的。不论你是贫是富，不论你是在困苦还是在富余的光景中，你都会领悟你不是饥饿就是干渴。

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.

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.

The Lord said that He will give sight to those who cannot see, but that He will make blind those who claim to see. This is a serious vindication of the Lord. Thus, we must be humble and not proud.

In the Old Testament the children of Israel were a vine in the eyes of God

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.

主预先告诉门徒，好叫他们在逼迫来临时不至受挫、绊跌，也不至受迷惑。
