It is now eternal reality, and the name of Jesus Christ is that which puts all things to a final test. Loving Father, keep me ever mindful of Your Word and the truth that is contained in the plain message of Scripture and the glorious gospel of grace. Deut. But his ways were higher. Granted He was the Son of man; but as such, He had all judgment given Him, and would judge. and the two disciples leave John for Jesus. His death on the cross included much more, clearly answering to the first; His baptizing with the Holy Ghost followed His going to heaven. When the man that had been healed obeyed Christ's instruction and picked up his bed to carry it home, it was construed as work, and they accused Jesus of violating their laws. But even this sufficed not: the Son of man must be lifted up. The Son gives life, as the Father does; and not merely to whom the Father will, but to whom He will. (Verse John 3:10).

Breaking Down the Key Parts of John 5:24 #1 "Very truly," Jesus underlines a point by beginning with "very truly." Everything he says is true. 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. It should be noted that throughout Scripture until the very end of His revelation, this " as many as " attitude reflects the Father's heart toward His rebellious creatures, John recording And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. But here it was not God's purpose to record it. 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. 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. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. 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. 05:08.

I apprehend the words the Authorised Version gives in italics should disappear. But there was this difference from the former occasion, that, at the marriage in Cana (John 2:1-25), the change of the water into wine was clearly millennial in its typical aspect. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. He could have healed the man without the smallest outward act to shock their zeal for the law. John gives us this point of contact with them, though in an incident peculiar to himself. This we have had fully before. 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. This language is said of both, but most strongly of the latter. It is not the only soul-saving truth that Jesus ever uttered or that John ever wrote. Heavenly things are set in evident contradistinction, and link themselves immediately here, as everywhere, with the cross as their correlative. 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. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? 3. For that reason, they "sought all the more to kill Him, because He not only was breaking the Sabbath, but also was calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.".

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. What I believe is very important. In the Word was life, and the life was the light of men. (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. But as many as received him, to them gave he power [rather, authority, right, or title] to become children of God." A comparable passage to John 5:24 is probably John 10:27-29. But hath passed out of death into life Christ's Discourse with the Jews; All Judgment Committed to Christ; The Christian Charter. No man hath seen God at any time. Jesus saw the man, and knowing that he was long thus, prompts the desire of healing, but brings out the despondency of unbelief. (Ver. Still the Lord refused the crown then: it was not the time or state for His reign. Do any believe on His name? 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. 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? Jesus is announcing His role as the One Who reverses the judgement passed on mankind [Adam & Eve] in the Garden of Eden. Among adults aged 20-69, the overall .

(Verses John 3:1-6), But the Lord goes farther, and bids Nicodemus not wonder at His insisting on this need. There is but one unfailing test the Son of God God's testimony to Him. 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. It was no longer a moot-point whether God could trust man; for, indeed, He could not. And he saith, I am not. (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. The two acts (new birth and faith) are so closely connected that in experience we cannot distinguish them. He is viewed as retaining the same perfect intimacy with the Father, entirely unimpaired by local or any other circumstances He had entered. Did the dead (for so men are treated, not as alive under law) did they hear the voice of the Son of God? Black-or-white thoughts may also set you up for. 6. The implications of this are staggering.

God never left Himself without witness; He did not even among the Gentiles, surely yet less in Israel. Till then the Holy Ghost could not be so given only when Jesus was glorified, after redemption was a fact. 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. The same picture, intensified to be sure, is sketched in John 20:24-29. , He hath eternal life, and doth not come into judgment. The hour was one for faith, or unbelief. 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." "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." How singularly is the glory of the Lord Jesus thus viewed, as invested with the testimony of God and its crown! As the Lamb of God (of the Father it is not said), He has to do with the world. His glorious person would have none now in relation to God but members of the family. Jesus is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, but withal, as he had said, the eternal One, yet in view of His manifestation to Israel (and, therefore, John was come baptizing with water a reason here given, but not to the Pharisees in verses 25-27).

On the third day is the marriage in Cana of Galilee, where was His mother, Jesus also, and His disciples. 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. 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. Matthew, Mark, and Luke start, as far as regards the public labours of the Lord, with John cast into prison. 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. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that . 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 For them, Israel, or the world, all is over.

He hath this immediately, and not merely, he shall have. Such are the grand emphatic points to which the Lord leads. . Psychologist Albert Bandura described these beliefs as determinants of how people think, behave, and feel. It was sabbath-day. 2. 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 2:1-25) The change of water into wine manifested His glory as the beginning of signs; and He gave another in this early purging of the temple of Jerusalem.

For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. Dost thou see? So in the baptism with the Holy Ghost, who would pretend to such a power? 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. 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.

The great fact of the incarnation is brought before us "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father"). And he answered, No. And in this He is sovereign. 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. 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. ." 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. Here there could not be more, and He would not give less: even "grace upon grace." God heard his Son in his time of crisis, but he didn't let the cup pass. 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.
