当宗教徒要过节的时候，他们就图谋要杀耶稣。 创造者忍受受造者的逼迫，不是容易的事，祂必须有何等的忍耐！那必定是何等的降卑！但是主作到了。

It is not simply that Mary loved the Lord, but that she poured out her best upon the Lord, and this becomes a sign of the proper church life. In the proper church life we all must love the Lord to such an extent.

我们都必须按着内在的实际，不按着外貌认基督。主在地上的时候，没有吸引人的外表。今天，在教会生活也是这样，没有什么吸引人的外表。然而，你若进入教会生活里面，就会在那里看见基督的美丽。祂不是那拿撒勒人，祂乃是大卫的后裔。这就是基督！阿利路亚！

罪、义、审判－都各与一个人物有关。

Whenever we listen to His speaking and keep His commandments, His presence is immediately intensified and becomes so sweet, precious, watering, strengthening, enlightening, and nourishing.

The Lord’s anointing the blind eyes with the clay made of His spittle signifies that by the anointing of the mingling of the Lord’s Word, which is His Spirit, with our humanity, our eyes, which were blinded by Satan, may have sight.

The brother, Lazarus, became seriously ill, and the sisters sent a message to the Lord, which means that they prayed to Him (11:3). There is nothing wrong with prayer. If you are in trouble, you must send a message to the Lord. At any time you can send a word to Him.

Life’s peace overcomes all troubles and fears.

那灵，就是基督的灵，（罗八9，）耶稣基督的灵，（腓一19，）在主说这话时还没有，因为祂尚未得着荣耀。耶稣是在复活时得着荣耀的。（路二四26。）祂复活后，神的灵就成了那成为肉体、钉十字架、复活之耶稣基督的灵。基督在祂复活的晚上，已将这灵吹到门徒里面。（约二十22。）

我们若要认识主作生命的细节，就必须领会约翰福音。

John 10:21 helps us to realize that chapter ten is a continuation of chapter nine, in these two chapters, two major aspects of the Lord’s being are revealed: the Lord’s giving sight to the blind and the Lord’s shepherding of the believers outside of religion.

主已经成为肉体、钉十字架、复活、升天、从肉体变化形像成为那灵、并且具体化于话。话乃是主的灵的具体化身。你不能说你不知道如何接触主，因为主已经具体化于话。祂是灵，也是话。你若接受话，就有那灵作你对基督的享受。

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。

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.

Now is the time for you to take Christ as your pasture and to enjoy Him as your everything. You must live in Him and take Him as your all.

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.

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。

What is the meaning of “in My name”? The name is the Son Himself, and the Spirit is the person, the being, of the Son. When we call on the name of the Son, we get the Spirit

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。
