The chapters we have had before us (John 1:1-51; John 2:1-25; John 3:1-36) are thus evidently an introduction: God revealed not in the Word alone, but in the Word made flesh, in the Son who declared the Father; His work, as God's Lamb, for the world, and His power by the Holy Ghost in man; then viewed as the centre of gathering, as the path to follow, and as the object even for the attendance of God's angels, the heaven being opened, and Jesus not the Son of God and King of Israel only, but the Son of man object of God's counsels. It is the final setting aside of Judaism then, whose characteristic hope was the display of power and rest in the world. Do any believe on His name? The Word, God (and only begotten Son in the Father's bosom), He was eternally Son of God, too, as born into the world.

It is the wider, universal glory of the Son of man (according toPsalms 8:1-9; Psalms 8:1-9); but the most striking part of it verified from that actual moment because of the glory of His person, which needed not the day of glory to command the attendance of the angels of God this mark, as Son of man. How blessed the contrast with the people's state depicted in this chapter, tossed about by every wind of doctrine, looking to "letters," rulers, and Pharisees, perplexed about the Christ, but without righteous judgment, assurance, or enjoyment! According to John 5:24, what three things are the result of hearing and believing? 1. To see Jesus is to see His Father (John 14:9). (Verses John 7:19-23) What judgment could be less righteous? 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.

The disciples of John dispute with a Jew about purification; but John himself renders a bright witness to the glory of the Lord Jesus.

(VerseJohn 4:1; John 4:1) It was strange to her that a Jew should thus humble himself: what would it have been, had she seen in Him Jesus the Son of God? As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me." John 5:37 Here there could not be more, and He would not give less: even "grace upon grace." Memorize 1 John 5:11-12 Assurance of Salvation And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his son. "No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. I don't realize until the next morning that it's completely insane to think any of this.

Such shall live. It finds, of course, a present application, and links itself with that activity of grace in which God is now sending out the gospel to any sinner and every sinner. The differences between moving through life in an eternal process of death, and living through life in an eternal process of coming alive are deeper than can actually be comprehended this side of heaven. The hour was one for faith, or unbelief. The law works no deliverance; it puts a man in chains, prison, darkness, and under condemnation; it renders him a patient, or a criminal incompetent to avail himself of the displays of God's goodness.

And he answered, No. The distinctiveness of such a testimony to the Saviour's glory need hardly be pointed out. Here was One on earth who knew all secrets. One of the peculiarities of our gospel is, that we see the Lord from time to time (and, indeed, chiefly) in or near Jerusalem.

In his most famous and controversial experiment, known today as the "Little Albert" experiment, John Watson and a graduate assistant named Rosalie Rayner conditioned a small child to fear a white rat. Observe: not which was, but "which is." His first approach is often to cast doubt on the work God has done in your heart. ", 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. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." All disciplinary action, every probationary process, disappears. 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. Such was the grace that God was displaying in Him, the true and full expresser of His mind. Hearing, Swing, and Believing in the Gosl of John 329 John 1,19-51 The narrative portion of the gospel tegins with an interchange between John and a delegation from Jerusalem (1,19-28), an account of John's testimony to Jesus and its effect on two of his own disci- pies (1,29-39), and a description,of the effect of their words and (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk."

John 7:38; John 7:38) And then we have the comment of the Holy Ghost: "(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified)" There is, first, the thirsty soul coming to Jesus and drinking; then there is the power of the Spirit flowing forth from the inner man of the believer in refreshment to others. Scripture is, or may be, before man always. The rejection of Christ is the contempt of God Himself, in that of which He is most jealous, the honour of the Saviour, His Son. The implications of this are staggering. This closes the various aspects of the Lord Jesus, completely blotting out Judaism, viewed as resting in a system of law and ordinances, as looking to a Messiah with present ease, and as hoping for the display of Messianic glory then in the world. One must be born again for God's kingdom a Jew for what was promised him, like another. hath everlasting life; not only in the purpose of God, and in the covenant of his grace, and in the hands of Christ, and in faith and hope; but he has a right unto it, and a claim of it, according to the declaration of the Gospel; and besides, has the principle of it in himself, the grace of God, which springs up into, is the beginning of, and issues in eternal life; he has also a meetness for it, and has the pledge and earnest of it, the Spirit of God, and shall certainly enjoy it: and shall not come into condemnation; neither for original sin, though judgment has passed upon all men unto condemnation for it; nor for actual sins and transgressions: for though everyone deserves condemnation, yet were there as many sentences of condemnation issued out as sins committed, not one of them could be executed on such who are in Christ Jesus, as he that believes in him is openly and manifestatively in him: the reason is, because the death of Christ is a security against all condemnation; and whoever believes in him shall not be condemned, but saved; and though he may come into judgment, yet not into condemnation: he shall stand in judgment, and be acquitted by the righteousness of Christ, which he, by faith, receives as his justifying righteousness. If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. It was worldliness in its worst shape, even to the point of turning the glory of Christ to a present account. Verily verily, I say unto you Who am the Amen, the true and faithful witness: he that heareth my word; 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 may be heard, and not understood; and it may be understood in a notional and speculative way, and yet the consequences hereafter mentioned may not follow: but an internal hearing it is here designed, so as to understand it spiritually, or to have an experimental knowledge of it; so as to approve of it, love, and like it; to distinguish it from that which is not his doctrine, and to feel the power of it on the heart, and yield the obedience of faith unto it: for faith in Christ himself, the sum and substance of the word of the Gospel, is hereby expressed; to which is joined faith in God his Father, they being equally the object of it; and which is introduced as a further proof of the equality in nature which is between them; see ( John 14:1 ) ; and believeth on him that sent me; he does not say that believes on me, which might have been expected from him; but that believes on him that sent me, that is, on the Father; for as he that rejects Christ, and receives not his words, rejects and receives not him that sent him; so he that hears Christ's words, and receives him, and believes in him, receives and believes in him that sent him; and the same effects and consequences follow upon the one as on the other, upon hearing the word of Christ, as upon believing on the Father of Christ; and which is no inconsiderable proof of their perfect equality: for such a person that hears the one, and believes on the other. It is not denunciation, but the most solemn sentence in the calmest manner. 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. 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. But see the blessed fruit of receiving it. , , . 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. 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? 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). And Jesus answers, "I that speak unto thee am he." (Verses John 7:40-53). VERSION, NIV Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica. The Father seeks worshippers. Nothing is said about the fan in His hand; nothing of His burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. 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. 11:33-36. (VersesJohn 3:20-21; John 3:20-21). Granted He was the Son of man; but as such, He had all judgment given Him, and would judge. Hence, then, we have the Lord Jesus alluding to this fresh necessity, if man was to be blessed according to God. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." "For God," He says, "so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." What I believe is very important. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? (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.
