『生命的复活，』这是千年国之前，得救信徒的复活。（启二十4，6，林前十五23，52，帖前四16。）已死的信徒要在主耶稣回来时复活，享受永远的生命，因此称为生命的复活。主耶稣回来时，所有已死的信徒将要复活，和活着的信徒一同被提到空中。（帖前四17。）然后得胜的信徒要与主耶稣一同作王一千年。

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 as a grain of wheat falling into the ground lost His soul-life through death that He might release His eternal life to the “many grains” in resurrection. We as the many grains must lose our soul-life through death that we may enjoy the eternal life in resurrection. This is to follow Him that we might serve Him, as mentioned in verse 26.

The day mentioned in this verse is the day of resurrection.

On the one hand, we are the new creation, we are in God, and we are in the heavenlies.

我们必须使查考神的话和摸着主成为一件事。每逢我们读圣经，我们必须将我们的灵向主敞开。当我们的眼睛在阅读圣经的话，我们的心思在领会这些话时，我们的灵必须操练藉着圣经接触主。这样，我们不但在头脑里领会圣经上的白纸黑字，还在我们的灵中得到生命。

这样吃祂的肉喝祂的血，就是相信祂在十字架上为我们所作成的，好在祂的救赎里，接受祂作生命和生命的供应。我们把这节与四十七节相比，就能看见，吃主的肉，喝主的血，等于相信祂，因为信或信入，就是接受。

这里的『水』象征物质享受和属世娱乐的消遣。这些都不能解除人深处的干渴，人无论喝了多少物质和属世的『水，』还会再渴。这些『水』喝得越多，干渴越加增。比方说，在受教育的事上，人喜欢得更高的学位。在拿到学士学位之后，就想要硕士；拿到了硕士，又想要博士。

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。

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.

Hallelujah, the Lord has raised us from the dead and cleansed us from our leprosy, our sins! Now where we are becomes the meeting place of the church.

What a mystery this is! The Lord says that the Son is in the Father and that the Father is in the Son!

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！

after His resurrection the Lord became the Spirit of reality. First Corinthians 15:45 confirms this.

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。
