(ver. 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. It is the revelation of God yea, of the Father and the Son, and not merely the detecter of man. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." 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. 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. (Verses John 1:44-51). 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. After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 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. All disciplinary action, every probationary process, disappears. Rev 20:7, 14 states death is thrown into into the lake of fire after the thousand year period. But see the blessed fruit of receiving it. Sons they might have been in bare title; but these had the right of children. Each had his own; all are harmonious, all perfect, all divine; but not all so many repetitions of the same thing. 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. It was not intended for other beings it was God's free gift to man, to the believer, of course. 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. The answer given by modern premillennial apologists usually suggests that premillennialism was overcome for illegitimate reasons. He that comes from above from heaven is above all. 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. of these men, and particularly the disciples; that they might be For were it not God Himself in the person of Jesus, it had been no glory to God, but a wrong and a rival. Indeed, He was the great Prophet, as He was the great King, and as He is now the great Priest on high. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. No mere man, nor angel, not the highest, the archangel, but the Son. even took not his disciples with him, who were in the same way of This only secures His honour in those that believe God's testimony to Him, the Son of God; and to these He gives life, everlasting life now, and exemption from judgment, in this acting in communion with the Father. Nothing in the slightest degree detracted from His own personal glory, and from the infinitely near relationship which He had had with the Father from all eternity. Man is morally judged. John 7. There He supposes His full rejection and death. And Jesus answers, "I that speak unto thee am he." Nevertheless, Christ did come to His own things, His proper, peculiar possession; for there were special relationships. The incarnate Word was here full of grace and truth. man, and seize him in a violent manner, whether he would or not; forsake the honours and riches of this world, for his sake; and In John 6:1-71 our Lord sets aside Israel in another point of view. 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. It is not merely a Messiah, who comes and offers Himself, as we find in other gospels, with most painstaking diligence, and presented to their responsibility; but here from the outset the question is viewed as closed. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. God never left Himself without witness; He did not even among the Gentiles, surely yet less in Israel. Thus in one way or the other all must honour the Son. The thrust of Lindsey's book is two-fold: First, it espouses the premillennial theory of Christ's second coming. His death on the cross included much more, clearly answering to the first; His baptizing with the Holy Ghost followed His going to heaven. As mentioned in verse 10, the unbeliever is calling God a liar, in that he or she refuses to believe in God's testimony, namely, that which "God has given about His Son" (vs.10). 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. 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. No charge could be remoter from the truth. 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. 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. Other names for premillennialists are millenarians and chiliaststaken from the Greek word for thousand (Torrey 1913:145). 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. "Master, eat," said they. * The best text omits other expressions, evidently derived from verses John 1:15; John 1:30John 1:30. 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. 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. The disciples of John dispute with a Jew about purification; but John himself renders a bright witness to the glory of the Lord Jesus. Heavenly things are set in evident contradistinction, and link themselves immediately here, as everywhere, with the cross as their correlative. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth . Without it there is no divine understanding of Christ, or of His word, or of Scripture. Mark what, as such, He does declare Him. But if the Spirit speaks of the Son of God, the law dwindles at once into the smallest possible proportions: everything yields to the honour the Father puts oil the Son. 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. Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be. Indeed, it is the total eclipse, not merely of law and remedial mercies, but even of promised Messianic glory, by everlasting life and resurrection at the last day. If He judges, it is not without full warning. Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. "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." And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? Here, then, we have a remarkable display of that which preceded His Galilean ministry, or public manifestation. Do they receive Him not? Observe: not which was, but "which is." The dreadful truth comes out: the Lord did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men. Not only man under law has no health, but he has no strength to avail himself of the blessing that God holds out. It would not suit God, if it would suit man, that He, seeing all, should just pronounce on man's corruption, and then forthwith let him off with a bare pardon. It is not that He denies the truth of what they were thus desiring and attached to. Here there is no John proclaiming Jesus as the One who was about to introduce the kingdom of heaven. Nothing less than everlasting life in Christ can deliver: otherwise there remains judgment. So does his confession: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God: thou art the King of Israel. Just as distinct and beyond comparison is His testimony who, coming from heaven and above all, testifies what He saw and heard, however it might be rejected. As a weapon of conviction, most justly had it in the mind of the Lord Jesus the weightiest place, little as man thinks now-a-days of it. [whose?] One must be born again for God's kingdom a Jew for what was promised him, like another. Here we see Him accepting, not as fellow-servant, but as Lord, those souls who had been under the training of the predicted messenger of Jehovah that was to prepare His way before, His face. So bright was His glory, so concerned was the Father in maintaining it, so immense the blessing if received, so tremendous the stake involved in its loss, that God vouchsafed the amplest and clearest witnesses. But it is important we should know how He entered the world. Could they, then, reject the Son, and merely miss this infinite blessing of life in Him? They spoke of the world; the world might hear them. John 1:11-12; John 1:11-12) It was not a question now of Jehovah and His servants. 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. Coming after John as to date, He is necessarily preferred before him in dignity; for He was ( ) [not come into being ( )] before Him. They had stumbled before, and the Lord brought in not alone His person, as the Word made flesh, presented for man now to receive and enjoy; but unless they ate the flesh, and drank the blood of the Son of man, they had no life in them. (Ver. How, indeed, could it be stayed within narrow limits? There is no changing or bettering the old man; and, thanks be to God, the new does not degenerate or pass away. Thus we all not only receive of His fulness, (and what fulness illimitable was there not in Him!) Ringing of the death bells is done slowly and reverently. for he knew He was the Christ. So in the baptism with the Holy Ghost, who would pretend to such a power? There was sentence of death pronounced on their system, and they felt accordingly. Catalogue entry. The Lord Jesus presents Himself as putting an end to all this now for the Christian, though, of course, every word God has promised, as well as threatened, remains to be accomplished in Israel by-and-by; for Scripture cannot be broken; and what the mouth of the Lord has said awaits its fulfilment in its due sphere and season. John 5:19-29), It is evident, then, that the Lord presents life in Himself as the true want of man, who was not merely infirm but dead. it was no lack of testimony; their will was for present honour, and hostile to the glory of the only God. Life out of death was wanted by man, such as he is; and this the Father is giving in the Son. Proud member Jesus not only could go up, as He did later, but He had come down thence, and, even though man, He was the Son of man that is in heaven. behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. All is fitly closed by the declaration, that "the Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." To this last the Lord attaches the deepest importance. We have seen already that thus light was shed on men. Then (ver. (John 12:48). His exaltation there is not without notice in the gospel, but exceptionally. Nor was it yet complete. Scripture is, or may be, before man always. No man hath seen God at any time. "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." And in this He is sovereign. 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). By MELANIE ZANONA. Such was the grace that God was displaying in Him, the true and full expresser of His mind. One of the peculiarities of our gospel is, that we see the Lord from time to time (and, indeed, chiefly) in or near Jerusalem. 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. It is the final setting aside of Judaism then, whose characteristic hope was the display of power and rest in the world. John 6:16. To the Pharisees, indeed, his words as to the Lord are curt: nor does he tell them of the divine ground of His glory, as he had before and does after. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." When Jesus therefore perceived But even this sufficed not: the Son of man must be lifted up. As this chapter sets forth the Lord Jesus with singular fulness of glory, on the side both of His Godhead and of His manhood, so it closes with the most varied and remarkable testimonies God has given to us, that there may be no excuse. "He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. The man could not tell the Jews the name of his benefactor. Of course it is the revelation of Christ; but here He was simply revealing the sources of this indispensable new birth. 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? Then said they unto him, Who art thou? We have now the Word made flesh, called Jesus Christ this person, this complex person, that was manifest in the world; and it is He that brought it all in. 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. 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. kingdom, in which they might hope for great secular advantages: And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. and proclaim him the King Messiah; place him at the head of them, He will have all honour the Son, even as Himself. 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. He would have every soul to know assuredly how he stands for eternity as well as now. 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. that his kingdom was not of this world; to teach his followers to He is viewed as retaining the same perfect intimacy with the Father, entirely unimpaired by local or any other circumstances He had entered. 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. 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. This would make all manifest. A death knell is the ringing of a church bell immediately after a death to announce it. 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. This is why premillennial-ism is based on a kind of hermeneutical fundamental of the Christian Faith. This scene throws light on the use of in Matthew 11:12. king; They could not deny Him to be man Son of man. 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. California - Do Not Sell My Personal Information. On this basisJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 proceeds. Here there could not be more, and He would not give less: even "grace upon grace." It was sabbath-day. mountain alone". The chapter pursues this subject, showing that it is not only God who thus deals first, with the necessity of man before His own immutable nature; next, blessing according to the riches of His grace but, further, that man's state morally is detected yet more awfully in presence of such grace as well as holiness in Christ. into, very probably was the same he went up to before; the Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. 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. The premillennial concept is the result of literalizing a few symbolic verses in the book of Revelation, coupled with a considerable disregard for scores of Bible passages of clearest import. Second, it interprets present world political trends as signs of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. In Him was life for this scene of death; and it is of faith that it might be by grace. The Father seeks worshippers. (Verses John 4:31-38). Here the unlimited scene is in view; not Israel, but the world. Jesus Walks on the Sea. Thus we feed on Him and drink into Him, as man, unto life everlasting life in Him. This brings all to a point; for the woman says, "I know that Messiah cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things." 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. and 'Death Knell for John Knox' bottom centre and '3/23' Purchased from Monika Kinley (Grant-in-Aid) 1983 The following . (Ver. thinking about a temporal kingdom, as the people, and might Then He rebukes the carnality of His brethren. Premillennialism turns Jesus into a liar. Because John declares that the one who does not believe in God's testimony is calling God "a liar." This is crucial to see. Why should He not show Himself to the world? , , . Death knell. (Ed. His aspect as thus tabernacling among the disciples was "full of grace and truth." John 4:1-6; John 4:1-6) What a picture of rejection and humiliation! through "sin." It passes over all question of dispensations, until it accomplishes, in all its extent, that purpose for which He thus died. 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., The disciples come; the woman goes into the city, leaving her waterpot, but carrying with her the unspeakable gift of God. Meanwhile there was a manifestation of goodness, active in love in the midst of evil, and toward such; active in the making known God and man, and every moral relation, and what He is toward man, through and in the Word made flesh. And He did accept that place thoroughly, and in all its consequences. The result immediately follows. Thus former things pass away; the old man is judged, dead, and clean gone. In truth, Christian baptism did not yet exist, but only such as the disciples used, like John the Baptist; it was not instituted of Christ till after His resurrection, as it sets forth His death. that they had "determined", as the Arabic version renders it; or 15 Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone. "For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved." "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." Canon Law tells us to obey the old law, (Can. As being the omniscient God, who knew their hearts, and the Beholding Him as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God! John 1:20-25) John does not even speak of Him as one who, on His rejection as Messiah, would step into a larger glory. conjunction with the Lord's Second Coming) (Hebert 2006c:5-6). What love! For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. But let them beware how they perverted it. "And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. If His time was not yet come, their time was always ready.

The hour was one for faith, or unbelief. 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 addition of "unto him" detracts, to my mind, from the exceeding preciousness of what seems to be, at least, left open. Their purpose was to make Him king. (Verses John 7:19-23) What judgment could be less righteous? alone, for the sake of secret retirement, and private prayer; and Here the Lord introduces the cross. Here, accordingly, it is not so much the means by which life is communicated, as the revelation of the full blessing of grace and communion with the Father and His Son by the Holy Ghost, in whom we are blessed. There is the nicest care to maintain His personal glory, no matter what the subject may be. (Ver. It is there that we found the Lord, in the other synoptic gospels, fulfilling His ordinary ministry. 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. 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. John 1:35-40) Our Lord acts as One fully conscious of His glory, as indeed He ever was. 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. 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. and the more manifest from His lips to one who was a real impersonation of sin, misery, blindness, degradation. secret thoughts and purposes of them; or, as man, understood by 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. (Ver. He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. By and by He will apply it to "that nation," the Jews, as to others also, and finally (always excepting the unbelieving and evil) to the entire system, the world. he would not. 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. This is the truth; but the Jews had the law, and hated the truth. Later He was determined to be Son of God with power by resurrection of the dead. "He must, increase, but I decrease." I apprehend the words the Authorised Version gives in italics should disappear. Article Images Copyright 2023 Getty Images unless otherwise indicated. In a certain sense, the principle of John 4:1-54 was made true in the woman of Samaria, and in others who received Christ then. 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. 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). Do any believe on His name? None the less did the result of His death proclaim His Deity. If she turned aside to questions of religion, with a mixture of desire to learn what had concerned and perplexed her, and of willingness to escape such a searching of her ways and heart, He did not refrain graciously to vouchsafe the revelation of God, that earthly worship was doomed, that the Father was to be worshipped, not an Unknown. 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 . They entered not into His words more than His grace, but thought and spoke, like the Samaritan woman, about things of this life. Here again, apart from this divine insight, the change or gift of the name marks His glory. This is all perfectly true, of course; and we have it elsewhere. But they learn that it was his divine Physician who had not only healed, but so directed him. As mentioned in the Introduction Section, premillennialism was the prevailing view of the Early Church for about the first three centuries, It is not only the nature, but the model and fulness of the blessing in the Son, who declared the Father. 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. (VersesJohn 6:1-21; John 6:1-21). Therefore, it seems to me, He adds verse 24. 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. Thus, in His person, as well as in His work, they joined issue. John 6:1-15 describes Jesus' feeding thousands of peoplethe fourth of the gospel of John's seven ''signs'' of Christ's divinity. He saw him under the fig tree. Here was One on earth who knew all secrets. How singularly is the glory of the Lord Jesus thus viewed, as invested with the testimony of God and its crown! Expressly had He told the man to take up his couch and walk, as well as to rise. Matthew, Mark, and Luke start, as far as regards the public labours of the Lord, with John cast into prison. 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. For He who spoke was divine. 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. His was an errand incomparably deeper, more worthy of God, and suitable to One "full of grace and truth." Natural birth had nothing to do with this new thing; it was a new nature altogether in those who received Him: "Who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God." 2. How can such have relationship with God? The results for the believer or unbeliever are eternal in good or in evil. 2. he departed again into a mountain, himself 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.
