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 day mentioned in this verse is the day of resurrection.

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

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

Lord said that those who believe in Him will do greater works than He did

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

Here I must issue a warning: Never consider that the Father and the Son are two separate gods.

The Lord is not the way to bring the believers into heaven but the way to bring them into the Father.

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

Lord would prepare a place, accomplish redemption, open up the way, and make a standing for man to get into God.

The central thought of this chapter is that we must believe into God.

To remain in the fellowship of the Lord maintained by the foot-washing requires the strength of resurrection life. We can never do it by our natural man.

Glorified simply means manifested.

This warns us that the real foot-washing is only for the people who are genuinely in the fellowship with the Lord.
