以弗所书 5:26 要⽤⽔借着道把教会洗净，成为圣洁，(现代标点和合本)
Ephesians 5:26 that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, (NKJV)
基督为教会 (祂的新妇) 舍⼰，以便祂能⽤⽔藉着道把教会洗净，成为圣洁。丈夫 是⽤⽔藉着道洗净祂的新妇。想象⼀下主 耶稣今天就站在这⾥，腰间束着⼀条⽑⼱。祂所强调的⽔是就是神的道，就是倾注在你⾝上的。你可能不知道， 但当你来聆听神的话时，它正在洗涤你的 脚、你的思维和你的全⼈。箴⾔4:22说，当你得着这话语，就得了⽣命，并医治你全体的良药。教会，基督的话是如此重要。 它是医治你全体的良药，然⽽在⽣活中我 们却是常常忽视了它的重要性。许多⼈都觉得神的话枯燥乏味，却不晓得它是我们⽣命中最为重要的。她是圣洁没有瑕疵的 - 主耶稣不断以神的话 来洗涤和洁净她 (教会)。有⼀句话说⽔涨船⾼；当⽔位升⾼，船就⾃然涨的⾼。今年，当你⼀直沉浸在⽔中，也就是基督的话语时，你得生命自然会越来越好。
Christ gave Himself for the church (His bride) so that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word. The husband is cleansing his bride with the washing of water by the word. Imagine Jesus is here today with a towel as His girdle. The water that He spoke about is the word of Christ that is being poured on you. You may not know, but as you listen to the word, it is cleaning your feet, your thoughts, your whole being. The bible says in Proverbs 4:22 that when you find the word of Christ, you will find life and health to all your flesh. Church, the word of Christ is so important. It can bring health to all your flesh, and yet many of us are still ignorant and rejecting His word. Many find it boring, not knowing that it is the most important thing we need in our life today. That she should be holy and without blemish - Jesus continually sanctify and cleanses her (the church) with the washing of water by the word of Christ. When there is more water, a boat will float higher. This year, when you increase the water, that is, increase the word of Christ in your life, your boat will soar higher with more water.
