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.

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，

The branches are in an intimate relationship with the vine

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 came, Martha was the first one to meet Him (11:20). But before the Lord could say anything, Martha opened her mouth and gave forth another opinion:

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

那搅动池水的使者，象征颁赐律法的经手人，这律法不能赐人生命。（加三19，21。）搅动池水使人痊愈，表征实行守律法，想要使人完全。他看见水动的时候就充满了期望，但他无法及时赶上前去。因为他无能，不能行动，所以他得不到医治。照样，因着我们的软弱，我们不能遵守律法。律法是好的，圣别的，属灵的；律法本身没有问题，问题在于我们。

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.

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.

Blindness indicates the lack of life. If you have life, then you have sight, for light opens your eyes. So, first of all, the Lord pointed out that the blind man needed the light of life.

Life’s peace overcomes all troubles and fears.

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。

Glorified simply means manifested.

请你读撒迦利亚二章八至十一节。
