“Only Servants of Truth Can Know the Truth 惟有真理的僕人才能認識真理“（John 約翰福音 3:5-8）
Jesus answered, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, “You must be born again.” The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.’
耶穌回答：“我實實在在告訴你，人若不是從水和聖靈生的，就不能進神的國。從肉身生的就是肉身，從靈生的就是靈。你不要因為我對你說‘你們必須重生’而感到希奇。風隨意而吹，你聽見它的響聲，卻不知道它從哪裡來，往哪裡去；凡從聖靈生的，也是這樣。”
If we read the Bible and be honest, we will admit that it is either obedience or inward blindness. We can fill our head full of knowledge, know the doctrine, take our stand and still be blind inwardly. Only the servants of truth (who decide to obey God) can ever know truth that will get down into their hearts. If we are willing to obey Lord Jesus, He will illuminate our spirit, inwardly enlighten us; the truth we have known will then be known spiritually, power will begin to flow up and out and we will find ourselves marvellously changed. In that great day of Christ’s return, all that will matter is whether we have been inwardly illuminated, inwardly regenerated, inwardly purified!
若我們讀一讀聖經和誠實的話，自己就得承認若非順服聽從，便是心眼瞎了。我們能把知識裝滿腦袋，曉得教義，有自己的立場，但仍是心眼瞎了。惟有真理的僕人（決定順服聽從神）才能認識真理，真理知識才落實在他們的心裡。我們若願意順服聽從主耶穌，祂必光照我們的心靈，從内裡啟迪我們；我們便從靈裡重新認識已知的真理，能力必開始在内裡湧流出來，而我們必發現自己奇妙地改變。在基督再來的偉大日子裡，唯一要緊的是我們內裡已蒙光照，得重生，被潔淨！
Prayer: Father God, one may cast away many vices, forsake many lusts in which one indulged, and conquer evil habits, but no one in the world can make oneself to be born of you. Indeed mankind does not need reformation but a radical conversion by the Holy Spirit! We do not necessarily understand everything about the wind, but we see its effects. May we let this wonderful truth get down into our heart helping us to step forward in reconfirming our birth by the Holy Spirit and our obedience to your word. Amen.
禱告：父神啊！人會驅除許多惡習，棄掉許多自己沉溺的慾望，並征服邪惡的習慣，卻沒有一人在世上能使自己從你而生。確實，人類不需要改革，卻要被聖靈徹底的轉變！我們不一定需要明白有關風的一切，卻看到它的效果。願我們讓這奇妙的真理落實在我們的心裡，幫助我們向前邁步，重新確認我們藉聖靈的重生和對你話語的順服聽從。阿們。
