约四10 耶稣回答说，你若知道神的恩赐，和对你说请给我水喝的是谁，你必早求祂，祂也必早给了你活水。

　　　　14 人若喝我所赐的水，就永远不渴；我所赐的水，要在他里面成为泉源，直涌入永远的生命。

　　三一神在神圣三一里的涌流，有三个阶段。……〔在约翰四章十四节〕当水源涌上来成为水泉，那就是水源显出来；然后就有河涌流。父是源，子是泉，灵是河。

　　这涌流的三一神是“直涌入永远的生命”。译为“直涌入”的介词，在原文里含意很丰富。这辞在此说到目的地；永远的生命乃是涌流之三一神的目的地。水源在我们里面，作为水泉涌上来，而成为河，直涌入目的地，这目的地就是永远的生命。新耶路撒冷是神圣、永远生命的总和，这永远的生命至终乃是新耶路撒冷。因此，“直涌入永远的生命”，意思就是“直涌成为新耶路撒冷”。我们必须有东西涌流成为那神圣的新耶路撒冷，好使我们能达到那里。我们需要整本圣经来解释约翰四章十四节。父作为源头乃是源，子是泉，灵是涌流的河，而这涌流的结果带进永远的生命，就是新耶路撒冷（约翰福音结晶读经，一七一至一七二页）。

　　John 4:10 Jesus answered and said to her, If you knew the gift of God and who it is who says to you, Give Me a drink, you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water.

　　14 But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall by no means thirst forever; but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into eternal life.

　　The Triune God flows in the Divine Trinity in three stages….[In John 4:14], when the fountain springs up, that is the fountain emerging. Then a river flows. The Father is the fountain, the Son is the spring, and the Spirit is the river.

　　This flowing Triune God is “into eternal life.” The Greek preposition translated as “into” is rich in meaning. Here it speaks of the destination. The eternal life is the destination of the flowing Triune God. A fountain is in us springing up as a river into a destination. This destination is the eternal life. The New Jerusalem is the totality of the divine, eternal life. The eternal life eventually will be the New Jerusalem. Thus, into eternal life means into the New Jerusalem. We must have something flowing into that divine New Jerusalem in order for us to arrive there. The entire Bible is needed to interpret John 4:14. The Father is the fountain as the source, the Son is the spring, the Spirit is the flowing river, and this flowing issues in the eternal life, which is the New Jerusalem. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Crystallization-study of the Gospel of John,” p. 455)

　　三一神借着父、子、灵流到我们里面。当我们喝这水，这水就在我们里面成为源。我们都该说，“我里面有这源！”这源显出来就是泉，并且这泉涌流出来成为河，为着新耶路撒冷。这就是打开整卷约翰福音的钥匙，这就是神圣三一的神圣说话、神圣扩展和神圣分赐。……当祂涌流到我们里面，祂就带着我们一同涌流。祂要把我们涌流入新耶路撒冷里，而成为新耶路撒冷。“入”这个介词，也有“成为”的意思。……我们必须是新耶路撒冷，然后我们才能在新耶路撒冷里。这就是约翰福音和启示录的内在意义。

　　因此，新耶路撒冷是神三个阶段—父的阶段，子的阶段，灵的阶段—涌流的结果。这三个阶段都在我们里面，在我们里面同时有源、泉、河。“源”涌现，“泉”涌出，这涌出乃是流，也就是“河”，直涌入新耶路撒冷（约翰福音结晶读经，一七四至一七五页）。

　　神在祂经纶里的心意，是要作活水的泉源，源头，以满足祂的选民，作他们的享受。这享受的目标，是要产生召会，作神的扩增，神的扩大，好成为神的丰满，使祂得着彰显。这是神在祂经纶里的心愿，喜悦（弗一5、9）。这思想的完满发展是在新约里，但其种子是撒在耶利米二章十三节。

　　神的经纶是要将祂自己作活水分赐出来，以产生祂的扩增，祂的扩大，成为祂的彰显；这思想在约翰的著作中得着发展。……在约翰四章，主耶稣对撒玛利亚妇人说到活水（10、14）。在七章三十八节祂说，“信入我的人，就如经上所说，从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。”……启示录二十二章一至二节给我们看见，在新耶路撒冷里有生命河涌流，在这河中长着生命树，作生命的供应，支持并维持全城（耶利米书生命读经，二一页）。

　　The Triune God is flowing through the Father, the Son, and the Spirit into us. When we drink of this water, it becomes a fountain in us. We all should say, “The fountain is in me!” This fountain emerges as a spring, and the spring flows out as a river for the New Jerusalem. This is the key to open up the entire Gospel of John. This is the divine speaking, divine spreading, divine dispensing, of the Divine Trinity….When He flows into us, He flows with us. He will flow us into the New Jerusalem to be the New Jerusalem. The preposition into also means “to become.” Into the New Jerusalem means “to become the New Jerusalem.”…We have to be the New Jerusalem; then we can be in the New Jerusalem. This is the intrinsic significance of the Gospel of John and Revelation.

　　Thus, the New Jerusalem is the issue of God’s flowing in three stages: in the Father’s stage, in the Son’s stage, and in the Spirit’s stage. All three stages are in us. We have the fountain, the spring, and the river within us at the same time. The fountain emerges, the spring gushes, and the gushing is the flowing as a river into the New Jerusalem. (CWWL, 1994-1997, vol. 4, “Crystallization-study of the Gospel of John,” pp. 457-458)

　　God’s intention in His economy is to be the fountain, the source, of living waters to satisfy His chosen people for their enjoyment. The goal of this enjoyment is to produce the church as God’s increase, God’s enlargement, to be God’s fullness for His expression. This is the heart’s desire, the good pleasure (Eph. 1:5, 9), of God in His economy. The full development of this thought is in the New Testament, but it is sown as a seed in Jeremiah 2:13.

　　God’s economy is to dispense Himself as the living water to produce His increase, His enlargement, to be His expression. This thought is developed in the writings of John….In John 4 the Lord Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman concerning living water (vv. 10, 14). In John 7:38 He said, “He who believes into Me, as the Scripture said, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water.”…Revelation 22:1 and 2 show us that in the New Jerusalem the river of life flows and that in this river grows the tree of life as the life supply to support and sustain the entire city. (Life-study of Jeremiah, pp. 17-18)
