22:17 聖靈和新婦都說:「來!」聽見的人也該說:「來!」口渴的人也當來;願意的,都可以白白取生命的水喝。
22:18 我向一切聽見這書上預言的作見證,若有人在這預言上加添甚麼,上帝必將寫在這書上的災禍加在他身上;
22:19 這書上的預言,若有人刪去甚麼,上帝必從這書上所寫的生命樹和聖城刪去他的分。
22:20 證明這事的說:「是了,我必快來!」阿們!主耶穌啊,我願你來!
22:21 願主耶穌的恩惠常與眾聖徒同在。阿們!
The Spirit and the Bride say,
"Come." And let the one who hears say, "Come." And let the
one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without
price.
I warn everyone who hears the words of the
prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues
described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of
this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy
city, which are described in this book.
He who testifies to these things says,
"Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
Amen.

說到「口渴」是自我感覺,感到心靈枯乾,需要喝「生命的水」!然而這是主觀的感覺,也是聖靈的作為。若沒有聖靈的開啟,誰能認識並且知道自己是「口渴」的呢?
就連基督徒也是常常以為自己是不「口渴」的,以為凡事要感謝上帝,有上帝自己就沒有這問題了。其實問題還在,只是自以為已經被上帝解決,以為在今生已經是完全的人了,不再「口渴」了!
其實,我們生活上、生命上、…各樣的問題都是正常的現象,提醒我們現在還是「口渴」的,要來就近主,也就是「生命的水」!
所以不怕自覺軟弱,怕的是自以為剛強!因為,我們的軟弱是我們以靠主的理由與動機,是我們信心的來源。
