THE
JEWISH RELIGIONISTS
Now we come to the Jewish religionists. According to John 5, the Lord Jesus
quickened a man who had been sick for thirty-eight years. This happened on the Sabbath
day, and the Jewish religionists were offended (John 5:1-16). They only cared for the
Sabbath, not for man's genuine rest. The palsied man had no rest, even on the Sabbath day,
for a period of thirty-eight years. When the Lord Jesus quickened him he experienced true
rest. The Jewish religionists condemned the Lord Jesus, and He said to them, "You
search the Scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life ... and you
are not willing to come to Me that you may have life." In other words, the Lord was
telling them that they searched the Bible thinking that in it they had eternal life, yet
they would not come to the Lord for that very life.
The same thing in principle is happening to people today. Many
Christians search the Scriptures with the consideration that in them they have eternal
life, yet they do not come to contact the living Lord Himself It is possible for us to
read many verses and chapters of the Bible without contacting the Lord. We should never
separate our reading of the Bible from our contacting of the Lord. These two things must
be one. Whenever we read a line of the Bible, we must say, "Lord Jesus, let me
contact You in the divine Word. Lord, You are the living Word. Without You as the living
Word I can receive nothing as life from the written Word. Lord, I must contact You.
Although You are so mysterious, I praise You that You have given me such a tangible Word.
This Word is solid, concrete, and substantial. I thank You for the Word that I can read
and pray with. Yet, Lord, what I need is not the letter in black and white, but You, the
living Spirit." This is the correct way to use the Scriptures. Never touch the Bible
independently of the Lord. There is no need for you to read an immoral novel in order to
experience death. If you read the Bible without being in the spirit, you will also
experience death. Thus, even the reading of the Bible can be on the line of knowledge that
leads to death.
