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. He could have healed the man without the smallest outward act to shock their zeal for the law. It is thus strikingly an anticipation of the result in glory. He is a divine person; His manhood brought no attainder to His rights as God. Why this is so hard for Traditionalists to comprehend is baffling; all they need to do is to follow TRADITION. It was not the time now to demonstrate in public power these coming, yea, then present truths. 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. Nor was it from any indistinctness in the record, or in him who gave it. (Verses John 4:20-30), The disciples marvelled that He spoke with the woman. John, therefore, who had been the honoured witness before of God's call, "the voice," etc., does now by the outpouring of his heart's delight, as well as testimony, turn over, so to say, his disciples to Jesus. Still the eternal day alone will show out the full virtue of that which belongs to Jesus as the Lamb of God, who takes away the world's sin. As the new birth for the kingdom of God, so the cross is absolutely necessary for eternal life. "For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved." And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? John 7:24) They reason and are in utter uncertainty. Of course it is the revelation of Christ; but here He was simply revealing the sources of this indispensable new birth. And He did accept that place thoroughly, and in all its consequences. He had no need that any should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. "He must, increase, but I decrease." 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 3:19; John 3:19) Other things, the merest trifles, may serve to indicate a man's condition; but a new responsibility is created by this infinite display of divine goodness in Christ, and the evidence is decisive and final, that the unbeliever is already judged before God. Hence, after having first unmistakably laid down the necessity of the cross, He next shows the grace that was manifested in the gift of Jesus. How can such have relationship with God? Here, in suited circumstances to render the thought and way of God unmistakable, pure and boundless grace takes its own sovereign course, suitable to the love and personal glory of Christ. (Ver. 29) on which, as it were, Jesus speaks and acts in His grace as here shown on the earth. John 1:11-12; John 1:11-12) It was not a question now of Jehovah and His servants. Catalogue entry. (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. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers. John 6:1-15 describes Jesus' feeding thousands of peoplethe fourth of the gospel of John's seven ''signs'' of Christ's divinity. All this, however, was abstract, whether as to the nature of the Word or as to the place of the Christian. Thus, in fact, we have the Lord setting aside what was merely Messianic by the grand truths of the incarnation, and, above all, of the atonement, with which man must have vital association: he must eat yea, eat and drink. 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. Under all changes, outwardly, He abode as from eternity the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. In vain did any come to the Baptist to report the widening circle around Christ. Except one were born of water and of the Spirit, he could not enter the kingdom of God. Beholding Him as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God! The Jews, then, who could not help, and pitied not their fellow in his long infirmity and disappointment, are scandalized to see him, safe and sound, carrying his couch on that day. John was not yet cast into prison. man, and seize him in a violent manner, whether he would or not; So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone. Remark, too, the extent of the work involved in verse 29. But the erosion of Tradition began long ago, without their knowledge, as will be shown below. Not only man under law has no health, but he has no strength to avail himself of the blessing that God holds out. 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. 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. And he saith, I am not. "And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Why should He not show Himself to the world? Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. 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. It is not a message or a sign, however significant at the moment, which passes away as soon as heard or seen. How was this? Neither does the Spirit say exactly as the English Bible says "sons," but children. "He came unto his own [things], and his own [people] received him not. Without sign, prodigy, or miracle, in this village of Samaria Jesus was heard, known, confessed as truly the Saviour of the world ("the Christ" being absent in the best authorities, ver. 2. he would not. If a man looks at the Lord Jesus as One who entered the world in a general way, and calls this the incarnation, he will surely stumble over the cross. The Father seeks worshippers. So on the last day, that great day of the feast (the eighth day, which witnessed of a resurrection glory outside this creation, now to be made good in the power of the Spirit before anything appears to sight), the Lord stands and cries, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." For "he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. "Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water." It is not only the nature, but the model and fulness of the blessing in the Son, who declared the Father. thinking about a temporal kingdom, as the people, and might It is the final setting aside of Judaism then, whose characteristic hope was the display of power and rest in the world. The distinctiveness of such a testimony to the Saviour's glory need hardly be pointed out. Granted He was the Son of man; but as such, He had all judgment given Him, and would judge. But as many as received him, to them gave he power [rather, authority, right, or title] to become children of God." All rights reserved. He is viewed as retaining the same perfect intimacy with the Father, entirely unimpaired by local or any other circumstances He had entered. 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." (SeePsalms 2:1-12; Psalms 2:1-12) But the Lord tells him of greater things he, should see, and says to him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, henceforth (not "hereafter," but henceforth) ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of man. The results for the believer or unbeliever are eternal in good or in evil. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. (Ver. The hour was one for faith, or unbelief. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 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. It is not now the revelation of God meeting man either in essential nature, or as manifested in flesh; nor is it the course of dispensational dealing presented in a parenthetic as well as mysterious form, beginning with John the Baptist's testimony, and going down to the millennium in the Son, full of grace and truth. Blessed servant he of an infinitely blessed and blessing Master! His was an errand incomparably deeper, more worthy of God, and suitable to One "full of grace and truth." 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. There is no other way in which the new nature is made good in a soul. encourage them in this undertaking: the mountain Christ went At once their malice drops the beneficent power of God in the case, provoked at the fancied wrong done to the seventh day. Christ was the true sanctuary, not that on which man had laboured so long in Jerusalem. that we may give an answer to them that sent us. John 6:15 in all English translations. It was impossible that there should not be righteous dealing with human evil against God, in its sources and its streams. "He that believeth on him is not judged: but he that believeth not is judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." 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. redeemer, were unworthy of his presence: and also he went away What is there in God more truly divine than grace and truth? (VersesJohn 3:20-21; John 3:20-21). How withering the words! Heavenly things, therefore, could not but be natural to Him, if one may so say. 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. Thus we all not only receive of His fulness, (and what fulness illimitable was there not in Him!) Then said they unto him, Who art thou? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. , , . (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. Now it is that the great question is decided; now it is that a man receives or refuses Christ. How striking the omission! Hence it is that here the Son, according to the grace of God the Father, gives the Holy Ghost eternal life in the power of the Spirit. The Lord Jesus did, without question, take humanity in His person into that glory which He so well knew as the Son of the Father. (VersesJohn 7:33-36; John 7:33-36) Jesus was returning to Him that sent Him, and the Holy Ghost would be given. So in the baptism with the Holy Ghost, who would pretend to such a power? John 5. Alas! In John 6:15 we read that "when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to a mountain by Himself alone." I have often considered this verse to be the death-knell of premillennialism. 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. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Still, such is the effect on man under law, that he could not take advantage of an adequate remedy. He was God. Before the manner of His manifestation comes before us in verse 14, we have the secret explained why some, and not all, received Christ. The question really is, whether man would trust God. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? How were they not enjoyed in despised Samaria those two days with the Son of God among them! Till then the Holy Ghost could not be so given only when Jesus was glorified, after redemption was a fact. 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. Nevertheless, Christ did come to His own things, His proper, peculiar possession; for there were special relationships. They were not to wonder then at what He says and does now; for an hour was coming in which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice, and shall come forth; those that have done good to resurrection of life, and those that have done evil to resurrection of judgment. Persic versions leave out the word "again"; and the latter, 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. The Word, in order to accomplish these infinite things, "was made. , to snatch suddenly and forcibly (derived from the swoop of the falcon, the ; hence, the Harpies). Coming after John as to date, He is necessarily preferred before him in dignity; for He was ( ) [not come into being ( )] before Him. , And this very circumstance is perhaps the cause, that nowhere do we read that Jesus, whilst He teas sojourning on the earth, entered, even though that town was very close to Jerusalem. Proud member
But let them beware how they perverted it. (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. 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. 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." 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. - Jesus therefore knowing (having found, perceived (), by ominous movements in the crowd, or in any other way still more explicit) that they were about to come and by violence, or force, seize him in order that they might make him King. This is the marked effect on the third day (ver. The refusal of His precious blood will, on the contrary, make their case incomparably worse than that of the heathen who never heard the good news. 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. Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be. 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. His corporeal presence was not necessary; His word was enough. of
Nor could any question be more momentous. 1. No charge could be remoter from the truth. What love! Heavenly things are set in evident contradistinction, and link themselves immediately here, as everywhere, with the cross as their correlative. Please enter your email address associated with your Salem All-Pass account, then click Continue. John 6:15. 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 . Man is morally judged. His earthly rights are just where they should be; but not here, where the only-begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father has His appropriate place. Observe, that blessed as the light is, being God's moral nature, truth is more than this, and is introduced by grace. The addition of "unto him" detracts, to my mind, from the exceeding preciousness of what seems to be, at least, left open. * The best text omits other expressions, evidently derived from verses John 1:15; John 1:30John 1:30. "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." John 4:1-54 presents the Lord Jesus outside Jerusalem outside the people of promise among Samaritans, with whom Jews had no intercourse. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." What can be more evident, or more instructive? Fritzsche, p. 21). It was not so. 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. Thus it is a kind of transitional fact for a most important part of our gospel, though still introductory. All is in the character of the Son of man. Was this false and blasphemous in their eyes? and the more manifest from His lips to one who was a real impersonation of sin, misery, blindness, degradation. 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. This Blog is really a continuation of my Previous Blog "Why Israel Has a Future in God's Plans - Romans 9-11 and the People of God" By Michael J. Vlach, Ph.D. And they asked him, What then? Mark what, as such, He does declare Him. He who, living, was received for eternal life, is our meat and drink in dying, and gives us communion with His death. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. He is ever God; He is the Son; He quickens and raises from the dead. A person (the bell ringer) would place a leather muffle over half of the bell's clapper. Thus it is not only the person of our Lord viewed as divine, and coming down into the world. And in this He is sovereign. (Verses John 7:19-23) What judgment could be less righteous? Historically it was the second of three bells rung around death, the first being the passing bell to warn of impending death, and the last was the lych bell or corpse bell, which survives today as the funeral toll . John 7:6-8) They belonged to the world. "Come, see a man that told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" Surely He was there, a weary man outside Judaism; but God, the God of all grace, who humbled Himself to ask a drink of water of her, that He might give the richest and most enduring gift, even water which, once drank, leaves no thirst for ever and ever yea, is in him who drinks a fountain of water springing up unto everlasting life. Second, it interprets present world political trends as signs of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. 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. But what we learn is, that our Lord (viewed as having entered into heaven as man on the ground of redemption, i.e., ascended, after having passed through death, into glory) from that glory confers meanwhile the Holy Ghost on him that believes, instead of bringing in at once the final feast of gladness for the Jews and the world, as He will do by-and-by when the anti-typical harvest and vintage has been fulfilled. How singularly is the glory of the Lord Jesus thus viewed, as invested with the testimony of God and its crown! 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. It passes over all question of dispensations, until it accomplishes, in all its extent, that purpose for which He thus died. But the chapter does not close without a further contrast. Clarke's Commentary. 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 result immediately follows. If, on the contrary, a soul has been taught of God the glory of the person of Him who was made flesh, he receives in all simplicity, and rejoices in, the glorious truth, that He who was made flesh was not made flesh only to this end, but rather as a step toward another and deeper work the glorifying God, and becoming our food, in death. (Ver. Truth and grace were not sought nor found in man, but began to subsist here below by Jesus Christ. Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. of these men, and particularly the disciples; that they might be 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth . (Ver. There are three kinds of fundamentals: 1) Doctrinal fundamentals (e.g., the Trinity, Deity of Christ, Sacrificial Atonement, and Resurrection). John 7. The judgment, all of it, whether for quick or dead, is consigned to Him, because He is Son of man. The effect is thus final, even as His person, witness, and glory are divine. Because John declares that the one who does not believe in God's testimony is calling God "a liar." This is crucial to see. And worship is viewed both in moral nature and in the joy of communion doubly. 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. 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. Premillenialism is that system of religious belief that holds that Christ didn't set up a kingdom when he was on earth because the Jews rejected it but will one day return to set up an earthly kingdom in which Christ will reign on the earth for a thousand years. These are a test of evangelical authenticity. The Son gives life, as the Father does; and not merely to whom the Father will, but to whom He will. 64). His death on the cross included much more, clearly answering to the first; His baptizing with the Holy Ghost followed His going to heaven. This question is raised, or rather settled, by the Lord in Jerusalem, at the passover feast, where many believed on His name, beholding the signs He wrought. Starting with only a tiny lunch of bread and . 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.
