Section 8
and acquiring a great deal of knowledge about it, I would experience nothing. The wine would be unrelated to me. On the contrary, if you for get about discussing the wine and drink a large glass of it each day, you will know what wine is, for it will be dispensed into you, making you happy and ecstatic. Although this example may be poor, it is nevertheless very illustrative.
Do not talk about life without the realization of life. What is the realization of life? It is the liv ing Triune God being wrought into us. The Lord Jesus never told us to talk about life. He said that He is the bread of life and that we have to eat Him (6:48, 57). He also told us that He gives the living water and that we must drink it (4:10, 14). When you eat the bread, it will be wrought into you, and when you drink the water, it will be dis pensed into you. No longer will you have only bread and water; you will have life. You will have Christ as the Triune God dispensed and wrought into your being. Do not put some artificial color ing on your face, but simply drink the heavenly wine, and you will have a colorful complexion. Do not pretend to be joyful when inwardly you are filled with sorrow. If you realize that the Tri une God has been dispensed into you, you will be happy and your joy will be full. This is life.
