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

祂如何从天上降下来？祂是藉着成为肉体降下来的。祂藉着有分于血肉之体（来二14）而成为人。祂是在肉体里来，并且祂来是作人。成为肉体是主成为我们的生命所采取的第一个步骤。

The Holy Spirit is the reality of all things, and we are to be witnesses of the Spirit of reality.

子赐生命给死人。我们看见，那听子话，又信差子来者的，就有永远的生命，是已经出死入生了。

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

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！

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。

If we all live by the Lord’s life as the source, in the Lord’s love as the condition, and for fruit-bearing as the goal, we surely will love one another.

“Before Abraham came into being, I am.” According to grammar, He should have said, “I was.” But He is the present One, the I Am. Whether it is past, present, or future, He is always the present One.

The Spirit and the Word will bring us into the principle of life in resurrection. If we take Him in the Spirit and through the Word, we shall then be satisfied, enlightened, freed, and resurrected.

住棚节是在收割结束时，人已收藏了五谷和酒。（申十六13～14。）所有的庄稼都已收割了，人聚在一起守住棚节，与家人甚至仆人共享一切。我们必须知道，在住棚节时，人不再劳苦，因为工作已经完毕，庄稼都已收割，谷和酒都已收藏了。那是他们欢腾享受的时候，但他们仍是干渴！

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.
