John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life. (67~68) Jesus therefore said to the twelve, Do you also want to go away? Simon Peter answered Him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life,
Firstly, the Lord indicated that for giving life He would become the Spirit. Then He said that the words He speaks are spirit and life. This shows that His spoken words are the embodiment of the life-giving Spirit.
He is now the life-giving Spirit in resurrection, and the Spirit is embodied in His words. When we receive His words by exercising our spirit, we receive the Spirit who is life. For example, if you came to the Lord through John 3:16, you might have prayed, “Lord, I thank You that You are so good to me.
You have given Your Son to me.” What happened within you when you believed these words? When you believed these words, something within you was quickened and became living. I do not mean that you received some knowledge in your mentality, but that something became so living in your heart and spirit.
You believed the Word, yet you received the Spirit. The Word outside of you became the Spirit inside of you. When you listened to the Word and received it, you somehow received the Spirit also.
This is very mysterious and marvelous. This chapter closes with the Word of life, which is the only way to receive the Lord... If you receive the Word, you will have the Spirit within; if you have the Spirit within, then you have Christ as the inner supply of life.
