Everything is clear to us because now we have both the sight and the light. The sunshine is actually within us. Our eyes are opened and we can see very clearly because we have received sight and are now in the light.
What would have happened if the blind man had refused to obey the Lord’s command to go and wash?
if you obey the living Word and say, “Amen, Lord Jesus,” you immediately have the sensation that something has fallen off your eyes and you have light. Your old humanity has fallen away and you can see into the heavens. This is the way to receive light.
There are three steps which we must follow in order to receive sight for our eyes.
我们必须看重属灵的食物，过于物质的食物。耶稣在旷野的那些日子里，不关心物质的食物，乃关心属灵的食物。祂在物质方面禁食，但祂吃神的话。祂在旷野里不是单靠食物活着，乃是靠神的话活着。
基督是末后的亚当，含示旧造的了结与结束。旧造结束于一个人，就是末后的亚当。这人了结了旧造，在复活里成了赐生命的灵。如今这灵乃是新造的中心和生命线。
do you also realize that you must apply the washing of the baptism day by day? In every day of your Christian life you have to apply the washing of baptism by putting the self and the nature of the old man under the water of death.
The Lord’s anointing the blind eyes with the clay made of His spittle signifies that by the anointing of the mingling of the Lord’s Word, which is His Spirit, with our humanity, our eyes, which were blinded by Satan, may have sight.
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.
亲爱的朋友，神正在向我们呼唤，“我的民，你们要从那城出来，免得有分于她的罪，受她所受的灾害。”（启十八4）
要逃离那城，很简单，现在您就可以做一个简短的祷告：
哦，主耶稣，我需要你。这是一个堕落的世代，人心叵测，道德败坏。求你拯救我脱离这败坏的世界，叫我无分于这世代的罪，使我免受将来的灾害。
我开始认识到，尽管信了主，仇敌魔鬼仍不会轻易地放过我。人说，相爱容易，相处难。相爱，可以是一见钟情；结婚，可以是闪电式的；但婚后的生活，却是一辈子的事，夫妻双方需要经常地交流，相互信任。信主也是一样。
现在，我找到我的路了，那就是转向神，让祂做主。
祂是光，祂是爱，祂是希望，祂是支柱，祂是造物者，祂是生命源头。信主，不仅是发现、明白、感受、体验这些的过程，更是将自己的心思、意志、魂、全人都转向祂的过程。
回看我这一路走来的历程，是我在寻找神吗？我觉得更应该说，是神寻到了我。
在我们逐渐长大的岁月中，都避免不了看到世上各样的堕落，感受到内心的悲伤，经历这样那样的黑暗。可是我们生来就有一颗寻求解答，寻找方法，寻觅光明的心。这样的本能从哪里来？又能从哪里得到安慰和满足呢？
得救的喜乐，对神的享受，有力的证明我们已被带回到神那里。得救的喜乐见证我们不再远离神，乃是被带回到祂那里。完成福音服事正确的路，乃是帮助人经历罪得赦免，使他们有得救的喜乐，就是对神的享受。
基督不仅是神的旨意，是我们的行事为人，祂也是一切的善工，甚至是对神的认识。基督乃是包罗万有的。我们越进入歌罗西书，就越看见基督就是盼望、真实、恩典、神的旨意、和我们的一切。
“Before Abraham came into being, I am.” According to grammar, He should have said, “I was.” But He is the present One, the I Am. Whether it is past, present, or future, He is always the present One.
The whole Gospel of John also reveals that the Lord is the Word and the Spirit. There is such a thought throughout the whole Gospel. Once you see the wonderful person of the Lord in this Gospel, you will ask, “Where is He and how can I contact Him?” Praise the Lord that He is in the Word and in the Spirit, for He is the Word and He is the Spirit.
愿主开启我们的眼睛，使我们看见基督是我们的美地，我们必须天天在祂里面行事为人！
保罗在加拉太三章十四节说，“为叫亚伯拉罕的福，在基督耶稣里可以临到外邦人，使我们借着信，可以接受所应许的那灵。” 保罗在这里题到亚伯拉罕的福，和所应许的那灵。这福是指美地，而这福今天对我们的应验，乃是基督作包罗万有的灵。因此，按照保罗的观念，在基督这美地里行事为人，就是在包罗万有的灵里行事为人。
我们属灵的生活，无论到了什么光景，都必须按着那同一规则，在同一路径中行动，像使徒一样，就是向着标竿追求基督，使我们能最完满的赢得祂，作为神召我们向上去得的奖赏。
保罗在腓立比三章十六节的主要思想是，身为基督徒，我们基督徒生活最重要的原则该是竭力追求基督。
Praise the Lord that there is another father, the heavenly Father, the Father of light and truth. He is the great I Am, who became incarnated as a man. As the Son of Man, He was lifted up on the cross for our sin and died for us.
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.
当我们的心思充满了对包罗万有之基督的认识时，我们的情感就会受影响。这会使我们对主耶稣有更大的珍赏。譬如，一个小孩子可能欣赏丝绒盒子过于盒中的钻戒。在孩子的心目中，不认识钻戒的价值。但是小孩子长大之后，他对钻戒就有更大的珍赏。
In 8:32 we are told that “the reality shall set you free.” In 8:36 we are told that “the Son shall set you free.” This proves that the Son, the Lord Himself, is the reality. Since the Lord is the embodiment of God (Col. 2:9), He is the reality of what God is.
Whoever commits sin is a slave of sin (8:34). A slave is always under a certain bondage. Satan, the devil, has brought all humankind under the bondage of sin by imparting himself into man as the sinful nature that compels man to sin. It is impossible for anyone to free himself from such a slavery.
信徒没有见过祂，却是爱祂，这是个奇迹，也是个奥秘。我们没有见过祂，却是爱祂，这是因着信，因着那藉听见活的话而注入到我们里面的信（加三2）。因此在彼前一章七节，这信心是在试验、试炼之下。
不再孤独，不再胆怯。我最明显的变化，就是不但笑容“数量”增多，而且“质量”也提高了。见到弟兄姊妹，我会由衷地笑，甚至看着蓝天白云、小花小草，我都很开心。一位姊妹说，她觉得得救之前的我，虽然见面也有笑容，也只是出于礼貌；得救之后的笑却洋溢着喜乐和感染力。
一九九九年我来到美国俄克拉荷马州立大学读书，背井离乡加重了我失眠的症状，就这样度过了一年多痛苦无望的生活。有一天，因着一个偶然的机会，我碰到一群基督徒，被他们带到福音聚会中。那天我本想以进化论与他们争论神创论的合理性，说来奇怪，向来理直气壮的我，忽然间竟无法义正辞严地否认宇宙间有神了。
基督为着救赎我们死在十字架上。然而祂虽在身体里被治死，但祂甚至在复活以前，就在灵里活着并得了加力。祂在这活着并得了加力的灵里，向悖逆的天使宣扬基督胜过他们的首领撒但。
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.
Radium treatment is given for certain diseases. The patient sits under the radium, and its rays are transfused into him. We have a heavenly radium within us, and this radium kills the serpentine nature. This is the light of life which sets us free from the slavery of sin.
