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." He could, therefore, tell them of heavenly things as readily as of earthly things; but the incredulity about the latter, shown in the wondering ignorance of the new birth as a requisite for God's kingdom, proved it was useless to tell of the former. From the very first, man, being a sinner, was wholly lost. There He supposes His full rejection and death. 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. Meanwhile, for Christian worship, the hour was coming and in principle come, because He was there; and He who vindicated salvation as of the Jews, proves that it is now for Samaritans, or any who believed on account of His word. 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." (ver. (Psalms 132:1-18) Then they wanted to make Him a king. 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. Persic versions leave out the word "again"; and the latter, They spoke of the world; the world might hear them. (Verses John 1:44-51). John 3:14-15; John 3:14-15) It is not a question simply of the Son of God, nor is He spoken of here as the Word made flesh. This was necessary for the kingdom of God; not for some special place of glory, but for any and every part of God's kingdom. Flesh and world are judged morally. 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. As a present fact, the Lord justifies the judicial act before their eyes by His relationship with God as His Father, and gives the Jews a sign in the temple of His body, as the witness of His resurrection power. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? , 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. This leads Philip to Nathanael, in whose case, when he comes to Jesus, we see not divine power alone in sounding the souls of men, but over creation. Whosoever denieth the Son hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 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. How singularly is the glory of the Lord Jesus thus viewed, as invested with the testimony of God and its crown! There is no changing or bettering the old man; and, thanks be to God, the new does not degenerate or pass away. But there was a man who had been infirm for thirty and eight years. The character is wholly different from the position and glory of Messiah in Israel, according to promise and prophecy. All rights reserved. (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk." Thus former things pass away; the old man is judged, dead, and clean gone. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." Except one were born of water and of the Spirit, he could not enter the kingdom of God. Granted He was the Son of man; but as such, He had all judgment given Him, and would judge. 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. Thus, manifestly, the whole question is terminated at the very starting-point of our gospel; and this is characteristic of John all through: manifestly all is decided.

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. So rich and transparently divine was the grace: not some souls, more meritorious than the rest, rewarded according to a graduated scale of honour, but "of his fulness have all we received."

Nay, the Father has given all judgment to the Son. 12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. No man hath seen God at any time. Jesus, therefore, answered, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. The issue of all is, that the will of man is the real cause and spring of enmity. John 3:17; John 3:17) This decides all before the execution of judgment, Every man's lot is made manifest by his attitude toward God's testimony concerning His Son. Phil 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Predetermined performance - no will involved. 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. 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. All this clearly goes down to millennial days. 42). Under all changes, outwardly, He abode as from eternity the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. and proclaim him the King Messiah; place him at the head of them, (VersesJohn 7:33-36; John 7:33-36) Jesus was returning to Him that sent Him, and the Holy Ghost would be given. It was but preliminary, of course; still it was a deep reality, the then present grace in the person of the Son, the Saviour of the world, who filled their once dark hearts with light and joy. For if, on the one side, God has taken care to let us see already the glory of the Son, and the grace of which He was full, on the other side, all shines out the more marvellously when we know how He dealt with a woman of Samaria, sinful and degraded.

"No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. After this we have, suitably to this gospel, John's connection with the Lord Jesus. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth . Man might pull Him down destroy Him, as far as man could, and surely to be the basis in God's hand of better blessing; but He was God, and in three days He would raise up this temple. Nevertheless, Christ did come to His own things, His proper, peculiar possession; for there were special relationships. 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 .

Without it there is no divine understanding of Christ, or of His word, or of Scripture. 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? Here the Lord was really owned by the multitudes as the great Prophet that should come; and this in consequence of His works, especially that one which Scripture itself had connected with the Son of David. 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. This language is said of both, but most strongly of the latter. 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. alone, for the sake of secret retirement, and private prayer; and In the beginning of the chapter it was rather an essential indispensable action of the Holy Ghost required; here it is the privilege of the Holy Ghost given. 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. alone; 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! But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." Art thou Elias? The person of the Son was there the object of divine and overflowing joy even then, although, of course, in the full sense of the word, the Holy Ghost might not be given to be the power of it for some time later; but still the object of worship was there revealing the Father; butJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 supposes Him to be gone up to heaven, before He from heaven communicates the Holy Ghost, who should be (not here, as Israel had a rock with water to drink of in the wilderness outside themselves, nor even as a fountain springing up within the believer, but) as rivers flowing out. Even now faith knows, that instead of sin being the great object before God, ever since the cross He has had before His eyes that sacrifice which put away sin. Could they, then, reject the Son, and merely miss this infinite blessing of life in Him? 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. to deliver the nation from the Roman yoke, and set up a temporal Nevertheless the Son had taken the place of being the sent One, the place of subordination in the earth, in which He would say, "My Father is greater than I." He was God. Catalogue entry. The thrust of Lindsey's book is two-fold: First, it espouses the premillennial theory of Christ's second coming. And Jesus answers, "I that speak unto thee am he." 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. The Father and the Son were at work. To this last the Lord attaches the deepest importance. 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"). It was worldliness in its worst shape, even to the point of turning the glory of Christ to a present account. Neither does the Spirit say exactly as the English Bible says "sons," but children. Why this is so hard for Traditionalists to comprehend is baffling; all they need to do is to follow TRADITION. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. John 4:1-54 presents the Lord Jesus outside Jerusalem outside the people of promise among Samaritans, with whom Jews had no intercourse. Glory would be displayed in its day. Thus it is a kind of transitional fact for a most important part of our gospel, though still introductory. And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. reasons of his departure, were to prevent the attempt; to show of Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death unto life.

"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." that they had "determined", as the Arabic version renders it; or When Jesus therefore perceived. He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. infinite truth! All this, however, was abstract, whether as to the nature of the Word or as to the place of the Christian. There are three kinds of fundamentals: 1) Doctrinal fundamentals (e.g., the Trinity, Deity of Christ, Sacrificial Atonement, and Resurrection). 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 . 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. It is the final setting aside of Judaism then, whose characteristic hope was the display of power and rest in the world. So does his confession: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God: thou art the King of Israel. Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. What sayest thou of thyself? For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. 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. Verse John 6:15. These are a test of evangelical authenticity. However, we know that Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Father shortly after His resurrection and ascension (Hebrews 8:1; Revelation 4:2). Here was One on earth who knew all secrets.

Accordingly, if the law raised the question of righteousness in man, the cross of the Lord Jesus, typifying Him made sin, is the answer; and there has all been settled to the glory of God, the Lord Jesus having suffered all the inevitable consequences. 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. 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. 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. The incarnate Word was here full of grace and truth. 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. We have had his name introduced into each part of the preface of our evangelist. by this miracle, they could not doubt of his being able to 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. and 'Death Knell for John Knox' bottom centre and '3/23' Purchased from Monika Kinley (Grant-in-Aid) 1983 The following . Read full chapter. And he answered, No. Observe, it is not (as is often very erroneously said or sung) a question of sins, but of the "sin" of the world. Life out of death was wanted by man, such as he is; and this the Father is giving in the Son. But as many as received him, to them gave he power [rather, authority, right, or title] to become children of God." Other names for premillennialists are millenarians and chiliaststaken from the Greek word for thousand (Torrey 1913:145). but. "John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I spake: He that cometh after me is preferred before me, for he was before me." 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. But they learn that it was his divine Physician who had not only healed, but so directed him. Scripture is, or may be, before man always. 29) on which, as it were, Jesus speaks and acts in His grace as here shown on the earth. It is not that He denies the truth of what they were thus desiring and attached to. The Spirit of God uses that word; it is thus invariably in conversion. No charge could be remoter from the truth. John 7:24) They reason and are in utter uncertainty. 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. 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. 1 Cor 15:26 states that Christ will reign until the destruction of death. As the new birth for the kingdom of God, so the cross is absolutely necessary for eternal life. Here there is no John proclaiming Jesus as the One who was about to introduce the kingdom of heaven. 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. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. (Verses John 1:41-44), On the morrow Jesus begins, directly and indirectly, to call others to follow Himself. John 6:15 in all English translations. even took not his disciples with him, who were in the same way of Premillennialists believe that Revelation does imply this because Jesus is on the throne and Satan is bound.

The distinctiveness of such a testimony to the Saviour's glory need hardly be pointed out. * He says, One was among them of whom they had no conscious knowledge, "that cometh after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose." 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. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. he might be; and this, too, as the expression of the true and full grace of God in His only-begotten Son given. But the erosion of Tradition began long ago, without their knowledge, as will be shown below. Here the Lord introduces the cross. The results for the believer or unbeliever are eternal in good or in evil. that we may give an answer to them that sent us. He is a divine person; His manhood brought no attainder to His rights as God. "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." 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. Bear in mind that one of the points of instruction in this first part of our gospel is the action of the Son of God before His regular Galilean ministry.

(Verses John 6:59-71) What and if they should see Him, who came down and died in this world, ascend up where He was before? Beholding Him as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God! Thus we have traced, first, hearts not only attracted to Him, but fresh souls called to follow Him; then, in type, the call of Israel by-and-by; finally, the disappearance of the sign of moral purifying for the joy of the new covenant, when Messiah's time comes to bless the needy earth; but along with this the execution of judgment in Jerusalem, and its long defiled temple. After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. Let them learn, then, that as Son of man (for which nature they despised Him, and denied His essential personal glory) He will judge; and this judgment will be no passing visitation, such as God has accomplished by angels or men in times past. not the Jews only; for, as far as intelligence went, it was little better with the disciples till He rose from the dead. (Verses John 7:16-18) , The Jews kept not the law) and wished to kill Him who healed man in divine love. 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. Thus a despised Christ is not merely a crucified Son of man, and given Son of God, as in John 3:1-36, but Himself a divine giver in communion with the Father, and in the power of the Holy Ghost who is given to the believer, the source of worship, as their God and Father is its object for the worshippers in spirit and truth (though surely not to the exclusion of the Son, Hebrews 1:1-14). (Ver. But all that is historically related of the Lord Jesus inJohn 1:1-51; John 1:1-51; John 2:1-25; John 3:1-36; John 4:1-54. was before the imprisonment of the Baptist.

And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. 05/28/2021 07:55 AM EDT. In Mark 1:14-15, Jesus told those around Him that the kingdom was as hand. And in this He is sovereign. The first four chapters of John precede in point of time the notices of His ministry in the other gospels. A greater work was in hand; and this, as the rest of the chapter shows us, not a Messiah lifted up, but the true bread given He who comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world; a dying, not a reigning, Son of man. 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.
