回答问题最智慧的办法就是不回答，或以后回答，或慢慢回答。主对他们的问题起初的反应是不立即回答。我们也必须学习这个智慧。当人问你一个紧迫的问题时，你必须向主学习。祂只弯下腰来，在地上写字。沉默使人冷静下来，就像冷水使滚水凉下来一样。

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。

do you also realize that you must apply the washing of the baptism day by day? In every day of your Christian life you have to apply the washing of baptism by putting the self and the nature of the old man under the water of death.

If God was going to solve all the basic problems of man, He had to become a man Himself. Satan knows the importance of this. Satan was not afraid of the Lord Jesus being the Son of God. He was afraid of the Lord Jesus being a man. Therefore, Jehovah God became a man.

请你读撒迦利亚二章八至十一节。

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.

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

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.

现今神称那些信入基督的人为义，神的义就得着显明。（罗三26。）

To remain in the fellowship of the Lord maintained by the foot-washing requires the strength of resurrection life. We can never do it by our natural man.

This is marvelous. He will not only be the One who abides in you, but He will also be your abode.

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.

We are an abode to God, and God is an abode to us. This is the real building. This is the proper and correct meaning of the Lord’s word found in this chapter.

我们必须有信心，就是当我们与人谈话时，主已在得胜的作工了。撒玛利亚妇人是在顷刻之间转变的。在已过，我们见过好些人这样转变，超过我们所信的，主转变人的路是在灵里，

神已往所作的是旧造；父和子正在作的，乃是藉着救赎以完成神建造的新造。这工包括了子的赐人生命，就是这事例所显明的。在这事上，父与子是一。在赐人生命的事上，凡父要作的，子就照样作。
