For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. He that comes from above from heaven is above all. Sons they might have been in bare title; but these had the right of children. In Mark 1:14-15, Jesus told those around Him that the kingdom was as hand. Law, means, ordinances, could not meet the need no pool, nor angel nothing but the Son working in grace, the Son quickening. of these men, and particularly the disciples; that they might be 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. (VersesJohn 3:7-8; John 3:7-8), It is hardly necessary to furnish detailed disproof of the crude, ill-considered notion (originated by the fathers), that baptism is in question. Still, such is the effect on man under law, that he could not take advantage of an adequate remedy. In vain did any come to the Baptist to report the widening circle around Christ. Persic versions leave out the word "again"; and the latter, "And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For evidently it is the theme of worship in its Christian fulness, the fruit of the manifestation of God, and of the Father known in grace. He wanted nothing; He came to give yea, the very best, so to speak, that God has. Also one of the two thus drawn to Him first finds his own brother Simon (with the words, We have found the Messiah), and led him to Jesus, who forthwith gave him his new name in terms which surveyed, with equal ease and certainty, past, present, and future. It is not merely or most of all a great prophet or witness: He is the Son; and the Father has given all things to be in His hand. 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 speaks of Himself as the Son of man in death; for there could be no eating of His flesh, no drinking of His blood, as a living man. If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. When Jesus therefore perceived. Later He was determined to be Son of God with power by resurrection of the dead. The hour was one for faith, or unbelief. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. Nor would the rejected Christ, the Son of man; for if lifted up on the cross, instead of having the throne of David, the result would be not merely earthly blessing for His people according to prophecy, but eternal life for the believer, whoever. So it must be now; for God is revealed; and the Father in grace seeks true worshippers (be they Samaritans or Jews) to worship Him. Spite of the most express signs, and the manifest finger of God that wrote the ten words on tables of stone, the law sinks into comparative insignificance. It was not so. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth . How striking the omission! "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." alone, for the sake of secret retirement, and private prayer; and It is the final setting aside of Judaism then, whose characteristic hope was the display of power and rest in the world. No doubt there are intervening applications; but such is the ultimate result of His work as the Lamb of God. "Come, see a man that told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" Though He could not, would not deny Himself (and He was the Son, and Word, and God), yet had He taken the place of a man, of a servant. And He did accept that place thoroughly, and in all its consequences. but. some copies add, "and he prayed there"; the Syriac, Ethiopic, and The sound goes back and forth between a harder chime and a muffled chime. It is not denunciation, but the most solemn sentence in the calmest manner. their words and gestures: that they would come and take him by force, and make him a Thus, in His person, as well as in His work, they joined issue. Thus, as in the former case the Lord's dealing in Galilee was a type of the future, this appears to be significant of His then present path of grace in that despised quarter of the land. 2. A person (the bell ringer) would place a leather muffle over half of the bell's clapper. Hence, then, we have the Lord Jesus alluding to this fresh necessity, if man was to be blessed according to God. Not only is there no healing to be extracted from the law by a sinner, but the law makes more evident the disease, if it does not also aggravate the symptoms. And Jesus answers, "I that speak unto thee am he." In the five porches, then, of this pool lay a great multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. He could be declared only by One who was a divine person in the intimacy of the Godhead, yea, was the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. The effect is thus final, even as His person, witness, and glory are divine. John 3:1-36 follows this up. Deeper questions demanded solution. Isaiah 44:3; Isaiah 44:3, Isaiah 59:21, Ezekiel 36:25-27 ought to have made the Lord's meaning plain to an intelligent Jew. 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. These are a test of evangelical authenticity. Thus we have here the other side of the truth: not merely what God is in life and light, in grace and truth, as revealed in Christ coming down to man; but man is now judged in the very root of his nature, and proved to be entirely incapable, in his best state, of seeing or entering the kingdom of God. He who inspired them to communicate His thoughts of Jesus in the particular line assigned to each, raised up John to impart the highest revelation, and thus complete the circle by the deepest views of the Son of God. 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." John 6:15King James Version. (Ver. It is our evangelist's way of indicating His Galilean sojourn; and this miracle is the particular subject that John was led by the Holy Ghost to take up. 1. He bows to, as he explains, the sovereign will of God. (Ver. It is not John's business here to call attention to His Messiahship, not even when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask, Who art thou? He is a divine person; His manhood brought no attainder to His rights as God. It was worldliness in its worst shape, even to the point of turning the glory of Christ to a present account. They entered not into His words more than His grace, but thought and spoke, like the Samaritan woman, about things of this life.

But they learn that it was his divine Physician who had not only healed, but so directed him. There is no other way in which the new nature is made good in a soul. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Nathanael's call is just as clearly typical of Israel in the latter day. There was purpose in it. The Father and the Son were at work. What love! Such are the grand emphatic points to which the Lord leads. They wonder, as they had murmured before (John 7:12-15); but Jesus shows that the desire to do God's will is the condition of spiritual understanding. it may be chiefly, that he prayed that God would open the minds (Verses John 5:17-18). If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? 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. The incarnate Word was here full of grace and truth. he left the company directly, upon this resolution of theirs, and Such is God's vindication of His outraged rights; and the judgment will be proportionate to the glory that has been set at nought. Christ was the true sanctuary, not that on which man had laboured so long in Jerusalem. But as many as received him, to them gave he power [rather, authority, right, or title] to become children of God." This is the more striking, because, as we have seen, the world and Israel, rejecting Him, are also themselves, as such, rejected from the first. It was much, yet was it little of the glory that was His; but at least it was real; and to the one that has shall be given. No man hath seen God at any time. He was God. They could not deny Him to be man Son of man. "Master, eat," said they. This, of course, supposes the setting aside of Jerusalem, its people and house, as they now are, and is justified by the great fact of Christ's death and resurrection, which is the key to all, though not yet intelligible even to the disciples. Premillennialism turns Jesus into a liar. So in the baptism with the Holy Ghost, who would pretend to such a power? Was this false and blasphemous in their eyes? Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. Here, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." But "as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must ( ) the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." Christ did not wait till the time was fully come for the old things to pass away, and all to be made new. Here was One on earth who knew all secrets. The addition of "unto him" detracts, to my mind, from the exceeding preciousness of what seems to be, at least, left open. seize him in order that they might make him King. This language is said of both, but most strongly of the latter. But this, however worthy of God, and indispensable for man, could not of itself give an adequate expression of what God is; because in this alone, neither His own love nor the glory of His Son finds due display. In short, the riches of God's grace are here according to the glory of the Son, and in the power of the Holy Ghost. Life out of death was wanted by man, such as he is; and this the Father is giving in the Son. So only is man born of God. By MELANIE ZANONA. Alas! Augustine believed God's purposes were always being fulfilled, the gospel was always advancing into "the nations at the four corners of the earth." The saints who had been spiritually raised to. They had eyes, but they saw not; ears had they, but they heard not, nor did they understand His glory. It is the revelation of God yea, of the Father and the Son, and not merely the detecter of man. Nothing is said about the fan in His hand; nothing of His burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Expressly had He told the man to take up his couch and walk, as well as to rise. If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, that person was thrown into the lake of fire." (Rev 20:11-15) In other words: 1. He tells Philip to follow Him. Here (John 5:1-47) the first view given of Christ is His person in contrast with the law. (1-4) A crowd gathers to Jesus near the Sea of Galilee. Fritzsche, p. 21). It is not a question of the law, but of hearing Christ's word, and believing Him who sent Christ: he that does so has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death unto life. For the astonishing thought is, not merely that Jesus receives the Holy Ghost without measure, but that God gives the Spirit also, and not by measure, through Him to others. , , . Pharisaic jealousy had wrought; and Jesus, wearied, sat thus at the fountain of Jacob's well in Sychar. 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. All is in the character of the Son of man. Death knell. Thus it is a kind of transitional fact for a most important part of our gospel, though still introductory. As being the omniscient God, who knew their hearts, and the secret thoughts and purposes of them; or, as man, understood by their words and gestures: that they would come and take him by force, and make him a king; that they had "determined", as the Arabic version renders it; or "had it in . (Ver. (Psalms 132:1-18) Then they wanted to make Him a king. Nor will the full force of this expression be witnessed till the glorious result of His blood shedding sweep away the last trace of sin in the new heavens and the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. And in this He is sovereign. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. 64). Thus we feed on Him and drink into Him, as man, unto life everlasting life in Him. Man is morally judged. To this last the Lord attaches the deepest importance. But when the Lord speaks of His cross, and not God's judicial requirements only, but the gift of Himself in His true personal glory as the occasion for the grace of God to display itself to the utmost, then, and not till then, do we hear of eternal life, and this connected with both these points of view. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." The same God who did not leave Himself without witness among the heathen, doing good, and giving from heaven rain and fruitful seasons, did not fail, in the low estate of the Jews, to work by providential power at intervals; and, by the troubled waters of Bethesda, invited the sick, and healed the first who stepped in of whatever disease he had. (Verses John 1:44-51). Man, dead in sins, was the object of His grace; but then man's state was such, that it would have been derogatory to God had that life been communicated without the cross of Christ: the Son of man lifted up on it was the One in whom God dealt judicially with the evil estate of man, for the, full consequences of which He made Himself responsible. Nevertheless, the heavenly part is little dwelt on, as John's gospel displays our Lord more as the expression of God revealed on earth, than as Man ascended to heaven, which fell far more to the province of the apostle of the Gentiles. What can be conceived more notably standing out in contrast with the governmental system God had set up, and man had known in times past? Nevertheless, Christ did come to His own things, His proper, peculiar possession; for there were special relationships. This gives occasion to Jesus to teach us the lesson that conscience must be reached, and sense of sin produced, before grace is understood and brings forth fruit. The man could not tell the Jews the name of his benefactor. forsake the honours and riches of this world, for his sake; and Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be. with a big assist from Olivia Beavers, Sarah Ferris and Marianne LeVine. When Jesus therefore perceived But here these streams of the Spirit are substituted for the feast of tabernacles, which cannot be accomplished till Christ come from heaven and show Himself to the world; for this time was not yet come. "No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. Before the manner of His manifestation comes before us in verse 14, we have the secret explained why some, and not all, received Christ. But the Spirit would not confine His operations to such bounds, but go out freely like the wind. and inasmuch as death is the last enemy, the destruction of the remaining powers ("when he shall have destroyed all rule and authority and power") will have to be understood not as a final struggle beginning after the parousia, but as the definite victory of christ that has already begun in his cross and resurrection and exaltation (cf., e.g., California - Do Not Sell My Personal Information. The Lord, it is true, could and did go farther than the prophets: even if He taught on the same theme, He could speak with conscious divine dignity and knowledge (not merely what was assigned to an instrument or messenger). Here the unlimited scene is in view; not Israel, but the world. One of the peculiarities of our gospel is, that we see the Lord from time to time (and, indeed, chiefly) in or near Jerusalem. Why should He not show Himself to the world? The question really is, whether man would trust God. And as life is in the person of the Son, so God in sending Him meant not that the smallest uncertainty should exist for aught so momentous. Thus solemnly does the meek Lord Jesus unfold these two truths. It was not intended for other beings it was God's free gift to man, to the believer, of course. The results for the believer or unbeliever are eternal in good or in evil. This we have had fully before. reasons of his departure, were to prevent the attempt; to show The healing of the courtier's son, sick and ready to die, is witness of what the Lord was actually doing among the despised of Israel. John 4:1-6; John 4:1-6) What a picture of rejection and humiliation! 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. Besides this, goodness overflows, in that the Father is gathering children, and making worshippers. The Father seeks worshippers. Accordingly there is a four-fold testimony to Jesus: the testimony of John the Baptist; the Lord's own works; the voice of the Father from heaven; and finally, the written word which the Jews had in their own hands. 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. All this, however, was abstract, whether as to the nature of the Word or as to the place of the Christian. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." Canon Law tells us to obey the old law, (Can. The brethren of the Lord Jesus, who could see the astonishing power that was in Him, but whose hearts were carnal, at once discerned that it might be an uncommon good thing for them, as well as for Him, in this world. But there was a man who had been infirm for thirty and eight years. Salem Media Group. Notably He is now applying it to the reconciliation of a people, who are also baptized by the Holy Ghost into one body. If He judges, it is not without full warning. Her life is laid before her by His voice, and she confesses to Him that God Himself spoke to her in His words: "Sir [said she], I perceive that thou art a prophet." (Ver. For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. Of this we learn nothing, here. Nobody had gone up to heaven: God had taken more than one; but no one had gone there as of right. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. by this miracle, they could not doubt of his being able to Alas! (Ed. John 1:35-40) Our Lord acts as One fully conscious of His glory, as indeed He ever was. This is indispensable; for God is a Spirit, and so it cannot but be. (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 that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." They cite the rise of an unbiblical and dangerous allegorical hermeneutic (by such as Clement of Alexandria and Origen) which took a sad toll on sound biblical exegesis. Further, John attests that he saw the Spirit descending like a dove, and abiding on Him the appointed token that He it is who baptizes with the Holy Ghost even the Son of God. Nicodemus, not understanding in the least such a want for himself, expresses his wonder, and hears our Lord increasing in the strength of the requirement. Premillennialism turns Jesus into a failure. "In the consistory of Dec. 15, 1958 . Rest is not the question now at all; but the flow of the Spirit's power while Jesus is on high. This is the truth; but the Jews had the law, and hated the truth. There is but one unfailing test the Son of God God's testimony to Him. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? First, a new nature is insisted on the Holy Ghost's quickening of each soul who is vitally related to God's kingdom; next, the Spirit of God takes an active part not as source or character only, but acting sovereignly, which opens the way not only for a Jew, but for "every one." Did the dead (for so men are treated, not as alive under law) did they hear the voice of the Son of God? and they might the rather be induced to take such a step, since, From the very first, man, being a sinner, was wholly lost. "He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. If he receives Him, it is everlasting life, and Christ is thus honoured by him; if not, judgment remains which will compel the honour of Christ, but to his own ruin for ever. How were they not enjoyed in despised Samaria those two days with the Son of God among them! The Lord and the disciples are next seen in the country district, not far, it would seem, from John, who was baptizing as they were. It was meet that so it should be; for, as a question of right, none could claim; and grace surpasses all expectation or thought of man, most of all of men accustomed to a round of religious ceremonial. behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. John 6:1-15 describes Jesus' feeding thousands of peoplethe fourth of the gospel of John's seven ''signs'' of Christ's divinity. Therefore, it seems to me, He adds verse 24. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. He reminds them of his previous disclaimer of any place beyond one sent before Jesus. But Jesus finds him in the temple, and said, "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." They would fall a prey to Antichrist, and meanwhile are accused of Moses, in whom they trusted, without believing him; else they would have believed Christ, of whom he wrote. convinced of their mistaken notions of him as a temporal prince: This temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
