耶和华的启示就是耶稣的显现，是藉着祂的说话
约翰告诉人说，他不是基督，乃是在基督以前来的，要豫备祂的道路（可一1-8）。耶稣，那在约翰以后来的一位，就是耶和华的显现。耶稣，就是耶和华，乃是我们的神。祂是耶和华的显现。以赛亚四十章五节说，凡属肉体的人，都要看见祂。这就是好信息、佳音。
五节也指明，耶和华藉着祂的说话得以启示出来（约三34上，七17）。在约翰福音里，主耶稣告诉我们，父差祂来（五36下-37上），祂不从自己说甚么（十四10）。祂从祂的父说出来，祂的教训完全是出于祂的父，祂的说话就是父的彰显。你越听祂说话，你就越看见耶和华。约翰三章三十四节上半说，“神所差来的，就说神的话。”祂为神所差，目的是说出神的话，使神得着彰显。换句话说，祂的说话就是神的启示。当你听祂的时候，你就看见神。在祂的话里，在祂的说话里，神就向你揭示并陈明出来。
凡属肉体的都会过去，惟有祂的话永远长存
凡属肉体的人，都像草一样枯干，并像花一样凋谢。约壹二章十七节说，这世界正在过去。这里的世界，按照约翰三章十六节的用法，乃指世人，就是人类。人要过去，惟有耶稣的话永远长存。历史上有许多著名的人物说过话。他们死了，他们的话也随着他们逝去，但耶稣的话却永远长存。
当我们听到祂的话时，我们就看见祂
我们乃是藉着听见祂的话得救的。有人也许说他们在某时某刻看见耶稣，就得救了。实际上，他们没有在肉身上看见祂，他们只是听见祂的话。祂的话就是祂自己，祂就是耶和华，而耶和华就是神。因此，我们可以说，话就是神（约一1）。这就是为甚么我们这些得救的人，都喜欢来聚会。在聚会中有主的说话，有神的话。当我们听到祂的话时，我们就看见祂。
祂的话永远立定，为要点活人，使人有分于祂永远的生命作人的享受（赛四十8下，彼前一23-25）。人听见了祂的话，就被点活。我们听到福音时，就看见了耶稣，就被点活，并有分于祂永远的生命作我们的享受。彼得前书告诉我们，我们是藉着神活而常存的话蒙了重生的。我们这些堕落的人，就像必枯干的草和必凋谢的花，但我们听到了活的话，那是永远常存的。这活的话将永远的生命带给我们，以重生我们，我们就得着永远的生命作我们每天的享受。这是好信息的第一面。

The Revealing of Jehovah — Isa. 40:5, 8
The Revealing of Jehovah Is the Appearing of Jesus Through His Speaking
John told people that he was not the Christ but the one coming before Christ to prepare His way (Mark 1:1-8). Jesus, the One coming after John, would be the appearing of Jehovah. Jesus, who is Jehovah, is our God. He is the revealing of Jehovah. Isaiah 40:5 says that all flesh will see Him. This is the glad tidings, the good news.
Verse 5 also indicates that Jehovah is revealed through His speaking (John 3:34a; 7:17). In the Gospel of John, the Lord Jesus told us that He was sent by the Father (5:36b-37a) and that He did not speak from Himself (14:10). He was speaking from His Father, His teaching was altogether of His Father, and His speaking was the expression of the Father. The more you listen to His speaking, the more you see Jehovah. John 3:34a says, “For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God.” He was sent by God for the purpose of speaking the word of God for God’s expression. In other words, His speaking was the revealing of God. When you listen to Him, you see God. In His word, His speaking, God is unveiled and presented to you.
All Flesh Will Not Last, But His Word Will Stand Forever
All flesh withers like the grass and fades like the flower. All flesh, all of mankind, will not last. First John 2:17 says that the world is passing away. The world here, according to its usage in John 3:16, refers to mankind, to human beings. Human beings will pass away, but the word of Jesus will stand forever. There have been many famous people throughout history who spoke, but their words do not abide forever. When they died, their words died with them, but the speaking of Jesus remains forever. Jesus is still speaking, and His words remain forever.
When We Hear His Word, We See Him
We were saved by hearing His word. Some may say that at a certain time they saw Jesus and were saved. Actually, they did not see Him physically, but they heard His word. His word is just Himself, and He is Jehovah, and Jehovah is God. Thus, we may say that the word is God. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God (John 1:1). This is why we, the saved ones, like to come to the meetings. In the meetings there is the speaking of the Lord, the word of God. When we hear His word, we see Him.
His word will stand forever to enliven men that they may partake of His eternal life for their enjoyment (Isa. 40:8b; 1 Pet. 1:23-25). When people listen to His word, they are enlivened. When we heard the gospel, we saw Jesus, we were made alive, and we partook of His eternal life for our enjoyment. Peter told us in his first Epistle that we have been regenerated through the living and abiding word of God. As fallen men, we were like withering grass and fading flowers, yet we heard the living word, which is abiding forever. This living word brought the eternal life into us to regenerate us, and we received the eternal life for our daily enjoyment. This is the first aspect of the glad tidings.
