林前十五章四十五节说得很清楚，那成了肉体的主耶稣，在复活之后，藉着复活成了赐生命的灵。因着祂是赐生命的灵，祂才能成为我们的生命和生命的供应。我们接受祂这位钉死并复活的救主时，赐生命的灵就进到我们里面，将永远的生命分赐给我们。
在约翰六章，犹太人无法明白主怎能把祂的肉给他们吃。他们以为，主要把祂物质身体的肉给他们吃。他们没有正确领会主的话。对他们而言，这话甚难。到了这时，主说，赐人生命的乃是灵，肉是无益的。换句话说，主告诉他们，祂要成为灵。祂不会实际的在肉体里，乃要从肉体变化形像成为灵。因此，主在六章六十三节加以解释，祂不是要把祂物质身体的肉给他们吃；这肉，就是人身体的肉，是无益的。至终，祂所要给人的乃是赐生命的灵，就是祂在复活里的自己。
你所接受的是怎样的基督？你所接受的是在肉体里的基督，还是成为那灵的基督？使徒保罗说，有人从前按着肉体认过基督，如今却不再这样认祂了（林后五16）。现在他们认识基督是那灵（林后三17）。在主死而复活以前，主成了肉体，乃是在肉体里；在祂死而复活以后，祂从肉体变化形像成为那灵（林前十五45）。因此，我们现今所接受的基督，并不是在肉体里的基督，乃是那是灵的基督。
今天我们对主无需有形的接触。因着祂是那灵，我们能在里面接触祂这灵。祂乃是赐生命的灵。祂既是那灵，我们就能接受祂，吃祂，以祂为我们的食物。

The Lord’s Words Are Spirit and Life (1) – John 6:63
1 Corinthians 15:45 says very clearly that the Lord Jesus, who became flesh, after His resurrection, became the life-giving Spirit through resurrection. Because He is the life-giving Spirit, He can be our life and our life supply. When we receive Him — the crucified and resurrected Savior — the life-giving Spirit enters into us, imparting eternal life to us.
In John 6, the Jews could not understand how the Lord could give them His flesh to eat. They thought the Lord meant His physical flesh. They did not understand His words correctly, and to them, His words were very hard. At that moment, the Lord said, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing.” In other words, He was telling them that He would become the Spirit. He would not remain in the flesh but would be transformed in form from the flesh into the Spirit. Thus, in John 6:63 He explained that He was not giving them His physical flesh to eat, for the flesh — human flesh — profits nothing. Ultimately, what He would give man is the life-giving Spirit, which is Himself in resurrection.
What kind of Christ have you received? Have you received Christ in the flesh, or Christ as the Spirit? The apostle Paul said that although some once knew Christ according to the flesh, they no longer know Him in that way (2 Cor. 5:16). Now they know Christ as the Spirit (2 Cor. 3:17). Before the Lord’s death and resurrection, He was in the flesh; but after His death and resurrection, He was transformed in form from the flesh into the Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45). Therefore, the Christ we receive today is not Christ in the flesh, but Christ as the Spirit.
Today we do not need to contact the Lord outwardly. Because He is the Spirit, we can contact Him inwardly as the Spirit. He is the life-giving Spirit. Since He is the Spirit, we can receive Him, eat Him and take Him as our food.
