人从外面看耶稣，只见祂是个拿撒勒人。祂无佳形美容，也无美貌使人羡慕。但在祂里面，祂就是神。有时我对主说，『主阿，为什么在美国，你带到教会的人很少是体面的，甚至有些人还衣冠不整的来聚会？』但我终于看出那些瓦器里有宝贝。

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.

Glorified simply means manifested.

我们若要认识主作生命的细节，就必须领会约翰福音。

黑暗永远不能胜过光，消灭光，光却能驱散黑暗。当生命的光照在我们里面，黑暗绝不能胜过它。并且这光是真光，照亮每一个人。 当神这神圣的生命在我们里面，作生命之光照亮时，我们就在祂的光照之下。我们借着接受神的话从神而生，就有神作我们的生命，并且这生命成为我们里面的光，一直在照亮。

Everything is clear to us because now we have both the sight and the light. The sunshine is actually within us. Our eyes are opened and we can see very clearly because we have received sight and are now in the light.

What would have happened if the blind man had refused to obey the Lord’s command to go and wash?

约翰八章的事例，就是九件中的第七件，完全说到罪的问题。在整本圣经中，没有一章像约翰八章这样广泛、透彻的说到罪的问题。所有罪的问题，在这一章都有解答。

Lord never comes to improve you or to regulate your behavior. He always comes to enliven you. The Lord’s only intention is to impart Himself to you as the enlivening life.

在祂能成为我们的食物之前，祂必须先成为微小的。所以二个小孩带来的五个小的大麦饼和两条小鱼就象征了祂。我们需要对主的伟大和祂的微小，同样有深刻印象。祂甚至生在小马槽里，长在小城中，并且在卑微的家庭中被抚育。祂不是来作宗教伟人。祂是小小的拿撒勒人，毫无伟大之处。哦，祂是何等微小！

When the Lord did not want to go, they were puzzled, and when the Lord was about to go, they thought that it was not necessary to go. Once the Lord expressed His desire to go and see Lazarus, all of the disciples expressed their opinions.

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

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。

重生是为着基督的扩增，是为着产生新妇。重生是为叫你成为基督新妇的一部分。约翰三章是讲重生，为着基督的扩增。许多基督徒只看见重生本身，并未看见重生的目的。重生是单为叫你有永远的生命吗？不是！不只这么多。重生乃是为着把我们建造到新妇里，这新妇就是基督的扩增。

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。

主应付了我们一切的需要。在这一切之后，我们还有洗脚的需要。

我们不可将活的话当作白纸黑字来接触，我们必须运用我们的灵，将活的话当作活的灵来接触。所以，经历生机体的路就是接触是灵的神，并且吃祂，喝祂。
