(Verse John 3:10). Your faith can be a hindrance or a blessing. Deut. The dreadful truth comes out: the Lord did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men. 29) on which, as it were, Jesus speaks and acts in His grace as here shown on the earth. The Lord, in the latter part of the chapter (verses John 6:27-58), contrasts the presentation of the truth of God in His person and work with all that pertained to the promises of Messiah. . He will have all honour the Son, even as Himself. The word hear is a present active imperative verb. There is no other way in which the new nature is made good in a soul. Thus former things pass away; the old man is judged, dead, and clean gone. Out-of-body experiences, meanwhile, are now accepted neurological phenomena, while certain visual illusions could confound the healthy brain and create mythical beings. 11:33-36. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 1 The psalmist proclaimed: "The entirety of Your word is truth, and every one of your righteous judgments endures forever" (119:160). Not Jacob was there, but the Son of God in nothing but grace; and thus to the Samaritan woman, not to the teachers of Israel, are made those wonderful communications which unfold to us with incomparable depth and beauty the real source, power, and character of that worship which supersedes, not merely schismatic and rebellious Samaria, but Judaism at its best. The sacrificial death of Him who is God goes far beyond the thought of Israel. John 3:31-36) he speaks of His person in contrast with himself and all; of His testimony and of the result, both as to His own glory, and consequently also for the believer on, and the rejecter of, the Son. Ephesians 3:20 Context. It means that the Christian does not wait for eternal life to begin at death or when Christ returns, as he promises to in this passage. (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk." 24 "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and . Just as in John 4:1-54, so here it is a question of power in the Holy Ghost, and not simply of Christ's person. Psychologist Albert Bandura described these beliefs as determinants of how people think, behave, and feel. He saw him under the fig tree. The one, like the other, contributes to this great end, whether the Son of man necessarily lifted up, or the only begotten Son of God given in His love. Nay, therefore it was they, reasoning, denied Him to be God. Melissa and . #5 but has crossed over from death to life. This is a powerful way to express that they have been reborn. But is passed from death unto life; both from a moral death to a spiritual life, being quickened, who before was dead in trespasses and sins; and from under a sentence of condemnation, and eternal death, which as a descendant of Adam, and according to the tenor of the law of works, he was subject to, to an open state of justification, according to the tenor of the covenant of grace; the righteousness of Christ being revealed to him, and received by faith, and the sentence of justification passed upon his conscience by the Spirit; so that he who before, in his own apprehension, was a dead man in a law sense, is now alive to God, and secure from the second death, and being hurt by it. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death unto life. It is His person as incarnate first, then in redemption giving His flesh to be eaten and His blood to be drank. (VersesJohn 3:20-21; John 3:20-21). It was an extraordinary birth; of God, not man in any sort, or measure, but a new and divine nature (2 Peter 1:1-21) imparted to the believer wholly of grace. He is ever God; He is the Son; He quickens and raises from the dead. With many Brazilians believing they just suffered their own 9/11 or January 6, all power centers know that the perfect time to seize new authoritarian powers and abridge core liberties is when the population is in a state . E-Book Overview. He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Number one means to die to your sins at an alter of repentance. John then declared his own waning before Christ, as we have seen, the issues of whose testimony, believed or not, are eternal; and this founded on the revelation of His glorious person as man and to man here below. The character is wholly different from the position and glory of Messiah in Israel, according to promise and prophecy. (Verses John 7:40-53). And while He does not hide the privilege of the Jews, He nevertheless proclaims that "the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. Glory would be displayed in its day. Nehemiah 9:5-8 (NLT) 5 Then the leaders of the Levitescalled out to the people: "Stand up and praise the Lord your God, for he lives from everlasting to everlasting!" Then they prayed: "May your glorious name be praised! C. Encouraging someone else to assume the leadership role in the group. We have seen already that thus light was shed on men. They could not deny Him to be man Son of man. There is no changing or bettering the old man; and, thanks be to God, the new does not degenerate or pass away. So, while all are dead in Adam (1 Cor 15:22) by virtue of our inherited sinfulness and the sins we have committed as a result, those who believe pass out of death, and into life, and life eternal. (Verses John 4:31-38). None but a divine being could thus deal with the world. The scripture text that brother Michael is preaching from is John 5:24-25 and the audio is 53 minutes long. B. Inviting other members of the emergency management team to discuss common goals. John 5:24 Truly, truly, I tell you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not come under judgment. All disciplinary action, every probationary process, disappears. (Verses John 3:11-13) He (and He was not alone here) knew God, and the things of God, consciously in Himself, as surely as He knew all men, and what was in man objectively. Yet before a miracle, as well as in the working of those which set forth His glory, it is evident that so far from its being a gradual growth, as it were, in His mind, He had, all simple and lowly though He were, the deep, calm, constant consciousness that He was God. According to Dweck and Ehrlinger, people who hold an entity theory of human nature: a. see the world as in a constant state of flux. On this basisJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 proceeds. Thus the Holy Ghost, given by the Son in humiliation (according to God, not acting on law, but according to the gift of grace in the gospel), was fully set forth; but the woman, though interested, and asking, only apprehended a boon for this life to save herself trouble here below. Thus it is not only the person of our Lord viewed as divine, and coming down into the world. But let them beware how they perverted it. ( ) flesh, and dwelt among us." John 3:14-15; John 3:14-15) It is not a question simply of the Son of God, nor is He spoken of here as the Word made flesh. (See Hebrews 12:2, Hebrews 13:11-13) Again, let me just remark in passing, that although, no doubt, we may in a general way speak of those who partake of the new nature as having that life, yet the Holy Ghost refrains from predicating of any saints the full character of eternal life as a present thing until we have the cross of Christ laid (at least doctrinally) as the ground of it. All is fitly closed by the declaration, that "the Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." His own love and person were warrant enough for the simple to lift the veil for a season, and fill the hearts which had received Himself into the conscious enjoyment of divine grace, and of Him who revealed it to them. It was not intended for other beings it was God's free gift to man, to the believer, of course. I praise and thank You thatI have passed from death to life, by believing on Jesus. Jesus saw the man, and knowing that he was long thus, prompts the desire of healing, but brings out the despondency of unbelief. The Lord meets him at once with the strongest assertion of the absolute necessity that a man should be born anew in order to see the kingdom of God. Christ did not wait till the time was fully come for the old things to pass away, and all to be made new. The word Who implies that not all were included. Although the Gospel is ostensibly written by St. John the Apostle, "the beloved disciple" of Jesus, there has been considerable discussion of the actual . 5. The Light, on coming into the world, lightens every man with the fulness of evidence which was in Him, and at once discovers the true state as truly as it will be revealed in the last day when He judges all, as we find it intimated in the gospel afterwards. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." The resurrection of the Lord is not more truly a demonstration of His power and glory, than the only deliverance for disciples from the thraldom of Jewish influence. How can such have relationship with God? They are embodied& revealedin Jesus - Jno. (Ver. He hath this immediately, and not merely, he shall have. This doesn't mean that what he is about to say is more true, only that it is more important. John 7:24) They reason and are in utter uncertainty. NIV Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life., NLT I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. A greater work was in hand; and this, as the rest of the chapter shows us, not a Messiah lifted up, but the true bread given He who comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world; a dying, not a reigning, Son of man. They had no common thoughts, feelings, or ways with the Father and the Son. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." Nevertheless the Son had taken the place of being the sent One, the place of subordination in the earth, in which He would say, "My Father is greater than I." Sons they might have been in bare title; but these had the right of children. But there is much that we do know about the abundant life (Jn 10:10) that Jesus came to give us. What can be more evident, or more instructive? The Jews had so misinterpreted the Law of Moses about the Sabbath day that they considered the miracles that Jesus carried out on the Sabbath, violated their strict rules. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment." For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. No doubt Jesus Himself had the Holy Ghost given to Him, as it was meet that He in all things should have the pre-eminence; but it shows yet more both the personal glory of Christ and the efficacy of His work, that He now gives the same Spirit to those who receive His testimony, and set to their seal that God is true. It became active and God's power ministered to her as the virtue went out from Jesus, because God responds to our faith. Thus, in His person, as well as in His work, they joined issue. John 7:25-31) He is going where they cannot come, and never guessed (for unbelief thinks of the dispersed among the Greeks of anything rather than of God). Till then the Holy Ghost could not be so given only when Jesus was glorified, after redemption was a fact. Now, it is no longer a question of nature, but of relationship; and hence it is not said simply the Word, but the Son, and the Son in the highest possible character, the only-begotten Son, distinguishing Him thus from any other who might, in a subordinate sense, be son of God "the only-begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father." The results for the believer or unbeliever are eternal in good or in evil. The issue of all is, that the will of man is the real cause and spring of enmity. Do any believe on His name? He that believes on the Son has everlasting life; and he that disobeys the Son, in the sense of not being subject to His person, "shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him" Such is the issue of the Son of God present in this world an everlasting one for every man, flowing from the glory of His person, the character of His testimony, and the Father's counsels respecting Him. "The law was given by Moses." Those who believe will repent and put their faith in Christ and begin living. They had eyes, but they saw not; ears had they, but they heard not, nor did they understand His glory. John 1:35-40) Our Lord acts as One fully conscious of His glory, as indeed He ever was. Except one were born of water and of the Spirit, he could not enter the kingdom of God. It is not simply the new birth such as a saint might, and always must, have had, in order to vital relations with God at any time. God heard his Son in his time of crisis, but he didn't let the cup pass. The disciples of John dispute with a Jew about purification; but John himself renders a bright witness to the glory of the Lord Jesus. John 5:24 (NASB) Verse Thoughts Jesus had just healed a man at the pool of Bethsaida, but He did this healing on the Sabbath. Governmental healing even from Him might only end in "some worse thing" coming. One must be born again. So does his confession: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God: thou art the King of Israel. Blessed servant he of an infinitely blessed and blessing Master! Whosoever denieth the Son hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Jesus is making the profound statement that salvation is a free gift from God for those who believe in his Son, Jesus Christ. This would make all manifest. For this, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill Him; because He added the greater offence of making Himself equal with God, by saying that God was His own Father. This statement (verse John 1:15) is a parenthesis, though confirmatory of verse John 1:14, and connects John's testimony with this new section of Christ's manifestation in flesh; as we saw John introduced in the earlier verses, which treated abstractly of Christ's nature as the Word. ", Jesus laid out this truth veryemphatically by starting what He said with the words verily, verily: "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. All rights reserved. Neither does the Spirit say exactly as the English Bible says "sons," but children. The Central Theology in John According to John 20:30-31, the signs which Jesus performed were many. The addition of "unto him" detracts, to my mind, from the exceeding preciousness of what seems to be, at least, left open. First, we must worship, if at all, in spirit and in truth. For this reason Jesus perfected revelation by fulfilling it through his whole work of making Himself present and manifesting Himself: through His words and deeds, His signs and wonders, but especially through His death and glorious resurrection from the dead and final sending of the Spirit of truth. It was not that they were better than their neighbours. Judgment is the alternative for man: for God it is the resource to make good the glory of the Son, and in that nature, in and for which man blind to his own highest dignity dares to despise Him. For example, I'll believe that there are only a few hours in a day instead of 24; or that 2:00 is the only hour, and that once the clock hits 2:59 it will just go straight back to 2:00 again. Art thou that prophet? No mere man, nor angel, not the highest, the archangel, but the Son. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." Eph. 6 "You alone are the Lord. God's Word provides assurance for our everyday lives And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. (John 12:48). 'I tell you the truth, those who listen to my message and believe in God who sent me have eternal life. The Father did not judge, but committed all judgment into the hands of the Son, because He is the Son of man. Because of God's deep love for man He devised a plan to remove his sin and save his soul eternally. And let him that is athirst come. God orders matters so that a favoured teacher of men, favoured as none others were in Israel, should come to Jesus by night. The man could not tell the Jews the name of his benefactor. From the very first, man, being a sinner, was wholly lost. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. Hence the Son, being in this ineffable nearness of love, has declared not God only, but the Father. . For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. It was God's great gift of love, mercy and grace (John 3:16; Ephesians 2:4-9). In John He is One who could be described as Son of man who is in heaven; but He belonged to heaven, because He was divine. They will never be condemned for their sins, but they have already passed from death into life. He gave them title to take the place of children of God, even to those that believe on His name. Man, under law, proved powerless; and the greater the need, the less the ability to avail himself of such merciful intervention as God still, from time to time, kept up throughout the legal system. For believers in Christ to enjoy the fullness of joy promised them by God all the time (John 16:23-24) 5. "No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. Lastly, closing this part, we have another most remarkable contrast. To stand though the days are evil (Ephesians 5:16) and full of sin, error, subtle heretical seducers and sharp persecutions (2Timothy 3:13-14; Matthew 24:12-13). Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. As there is an absolute necessity on God's part that man should be thus born anew, so He lets him know there is an active grace of the Spirit, as the wind blows where it will, unknown and uncontrolled by man, for every one that is born of the Spirit, who is sovereign in operation. They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. by which is meant the Gospel, and is so called, both because it is spoken by Christ, and first began to be spoken by him; and because he is spoken of in it; his person, office, and work, peace, pardon, righteousness, life, and salvation by him, being the sum and substance of it: and by "hearing" it is meant, not a bare external hearing it; for so It is not the only soul-saving truth that Jesus ever uttered or that John ever wrote. Nothing is said about the fan in His hand; nothing of His burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. All is in the character of the Son of man. (Verses John 7:3-5) The Lord intimates the impossibility of anticipating the time of God; but then He does it as connected with His own personal glory. John 1:17; John 1:17) The law, thus given, was in itself no giver, but an exacter; Jesus, full of grace and truth, gave, instead of requiring or receiving; and He Himself has said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. He must be born of God. What I believe is very important. He cannot make himself new, or create new life in himself. He explained that His whole life was to do the will of the Father and to carry it out in the power of the Spirit so asto please the Father, by only saying and doing the things that He heard from the Father. Before the manner of His manifestation comes before us in verse 14, we have the secret explained why some, and not all, received Christ. For though the Son (that eternal life who was with the Father) was a man, in that very position had the Father given Him to have life in Himself, and to execute judgment also, because He is Son of man. Paul wrote that " all Scripture is given by inspiration of God" (2 Timothy 3:16). Thus we all not only receive of His fulness, (and what fulness illimitable was there not in Him!) At Pentecost, Jesus empowered his followers to preach his Word. Thus a despised Christ is not merely a crucified Son of man, and given Son of God, as in John 3:1-36, but Himself a divine giver in communion with the Father, and in the power of the Holy Ghost who is given to the believer, the source of worship, as their God and Father is its object for the worshippers in spirit and truth (though surely not to the exclusion of the Son, Hebrews 1:1-14). We have had his name introduced into each part of the preface of our evangelist. He was God. Stigma, discrimination, and violation of human rights of people with schizophrenia are common. But the Lord reproaches him, the master of Israel, with not knowing these things: that is, as a teacher, with Israel for his scholar, he ought to have known them objectively, at least, if not consciously. Not only man under law has no health, but he has no strength to avail himself of the blessing that God holds out. * He says, One was among them of whom they had no conscious knowledge, "that cometh after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose." Hence the Lord, while fully owning the labours of all preceding labourers, has before His eyes the whole boundless expanse of grace, the mighty harvest which His apostles were to reap in due time. You are leading and influencing when you are doing all of the following EXCEPT: A. Christ was the true sanctuary, not that on which man had laboured so long in Jerusalem. (Ver. Here the unlimited scene is in view; not Israel, but the world. The ignorance of the world has been proved, the rejection of Israel is complete: then only is it that we hear of this new place of children. The contrasts are as strong, at least, as the resemblance with the healing of the centurion's servant in Matthew 13:1-58 and Luke 7:1-50, which some ancients and moderns have confounded with this, as they did Mary's anointing of Jesus with the sinful woman's in Luke 7:1-50. This the Lord refuses, and goes up the mountain to pray, His disciples being meanwhile exposed to a storm on the lake, and straining after the desired haven till He rejoins them, when immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. (Ver. Indeed, he has crossed over from death to life. But see the blessed fruit of receiving it. In both John and Paul the possibility of attaining eternal life and avoiding the wrath of God is dependent on believing in Jesus, the Son of God. I. In John 6:1-71 our Lord sets aside Israel in another point of view. 14:9-10. How withering the words! Here (John 5:1-47) the first view given of Christ is His person in contrast with the law. Here there is no John proclaiming Jesus as the One who was about to introduce the kingdom of heaven. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? Nathanael's call is just as clearly typical of Israel in the latter day. One of the peculiarities of our gospel is, that we see the Lord from time to time (and, indeed, chiefly) in or near Jerusalem.
