13我们若仔细读过约翰六章，应该对这章有深刻的印象。……第一，主是生命的粮（35、48）。第二，主把这生命的粮，就是祂的肉，赐给人吃（51下）。第三，主还把祂的血给人喝（53）。主说到肉和血时，乃是以犹太人过逾越节为背景。他们过节时，家家户户都杀一只羊羔，要吃羊羔的肉，抹羊羔的血。正如羊羔必须经过死，主耶稣也必须经过死。第四，祂不仅死了，也复活了（56）。人只要吃祂的肉，喝祂的血，这位复活的主就进到他里面，与他联结并调和为一。第五，因着祂活在人里面，使人也能因祂活着，且活在神面前（57）。第六，不是祂物质的肉，乃是祂的灵，能赐人生命并使人活着（63上）。第七，祂的灵就在祂所说的话—“雷玛”里面；祂的话就是灵，就是生命（63下）。人听见并接受主的话时，主的灵就进到他里面作他的生命。这生命就是“生命的粮”、“真粮”、“活粮”。人吃了这粮并加以消化，这粮就成为他的构成，他就与主联结并调和为一。结果，他就能活在神面前（李常受文集一九五九年第一册，三○七页）。
13If we read John 6 carefully, we should have a deep impression of this chapter…First, the Lord is the bread of life (vv. 35, 48). Second, the Lord gives this bread of life, His flesh, for man to eat (v. 51). Third, the Lord also gives His blood for man to drink (v. 53). When the Lord spoke of flesh and blood, it was with the Jewish Passover as the background. During this feast every family killed a lamb, ate its flesh, and applied its blood. Just as the lamb had to die, the Lord Jesus also had to die. Fourth, He not only died but also resurrected (v. 56). The resurrected Lord will enter into whoever eats His flesh and drinks His blood to be joined and mingled with him as one. Fifth, because He lives in man, man lives because of Him and lives before God (v. 57). Sixth, His Spirit, not His physical flesh, gives man life and makes man live (v. 63). Seventh, His Spirit is in His spoken words—rhema. His words are spirit and are life (v. 63). When a person hears and receives the Lord’s words, the Lord’s Spirit enters into him to be his life. This life is “the bread of life,” “the true bread,” and “the living bread.” When a person eats this bread and digests it, it becomes his constitution, and he is joined and mingled with the Lord as one. As a result, he can live before God. (CWWL, 1959, vol. 1, p. 243)
