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.

The Greek word for Comforter is the same as that for Advocate in 1 John 2:1

耶稣在海上行走。（约六19。）这表征主能克服人生一切的困扰。祂能行走在人生困扰的波涛上，将一切的困扰踏在脚下。基督行走在一切波涛之上。似乎波涛越多，祂越喜欢行走其上。波涛惊骇了祂的门徒，祂却踏在其上。

For us to maintain pleasant fellowship with the Lord and with one another we need spiritual foot-washing.

我们若要认识主作生命的细节，就必须领会约翰福音。

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

救主知道罪人在那里，祂知道罪人的真实情况。主耶稣去井旁，把门徒统统打发走，就坐在井旁，一直等到那妇人来到。你若回顾你的得救，就看见至少在某种程度上，同样的原则也在运作。不是你到天上，乃是主来就你。

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.

主虽然是永远无限的神，（罗九5，）却作了人在地上生活，甚至受时间的限制。主甘愿失去祂的自由，受时间的约束，实行父的旨意，好将生命的活水供应我们。

Here we see the case of a man who had died, who had been buried for four days, and who had begun to stink. Nevertheless, he was resurrected.

The death and resurrection of the Lord glorified God the Father because His death and resurrection released God’s divine element from within Him. 

In order for the Lord to abide in us, it is necessary to let His words abide in us.

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。

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。

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