主的食物就是实行差祂来者的旨意，这就是说，祂的食物就是拯救并满足罪人。我们罪人乃是救主的满足。你的饥饿表明主是饥饿的，你的干渴也表明主是干渴的。但是当你满足了，主也满足了。

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。

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。

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。

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。

神所要、所预定我们作的工，乃是信入祂的儿子。在二十九节，主耶稣并不是告诉我们要『信祂，』乃是要『信入祂。』
『信入祂』的意思是接受祂，并与祂联结，相调为一。你信入祂的时候，你与基督之间就有了一个联结和合一。换句话说，你已进入祂里面，也将祂接受到你里面。

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.

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。

If God was going to solve all the basic problems of man, He had to become a man Himself. Satan knows the importance of this. Satan was not afraid of the Lord Jesus being the Son of God. He was afraid of the Lord Jesus being a man. Therefore, Jehovah God became a man.

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

The Lord’s going was not His departure but actually another step of His coming.

三节指明主为门徒洗脚的原因

The Lord is the door to the sheepfold. Originally, the fold was the law, and the Lord was the door into the law. The Lord was not only the door into the law; He is also the door for people to come out of the law.
