The woman saith, Sir, I perceive thou art a prophet To find a person who was a perfect stranger, and who, on account of the national animosity, could not be suspected of As the new birth for the kingdom of God, so the cross is absolutely necessary for eternal life. One needs no more than to read, as believers, these wonderful expressions of the Holy Ghost, where we cannot but feel that we are on ground wholly different from that of the other gospels. 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 was not the time now to demonstrate in public power these coming, yea, then present truths. John 7:37) It is not a question of eating the bread of God, or, when Christ died, of eating His flesh and drinking His blood. But this is not the question of grace: not what she was, but what He is who was there to win and bless her, manifesting God and the Father withal, practically and in detail. God is love. And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? Beholding Him as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of 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. Web1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Nor was it from any indistinctness in the record, or in him who gave it. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 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. Thus in one way or the other all must honour the Son. There is difference of manner for the world and His own ignorance and rejection. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. . Of course they are just as truly inspired as John's; but for that very reason they were not inspired to give the same testimony. Law, means, ordinances, could not meet the need no pool, nor angel nothing but the Son working in grace, the Son quickening. So it must be now; for God is revealed; and the Father in grace seeks true worshippers (be they Samaritans or Jews) to worship Him. He acts as such. 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"). As there is an absolute necessity on God's part that man should be thus born anew, so He lets him know there is an active grace of the Spirit, as the wind blows where it will, unknown and uncontrolled by man, for every one that is born of the Spirit, who is sovereign in operation. 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. 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. This is the heart of the message of the Bible. First, we must worship, if at all, in spirit and in truth. In the five porches, then, of this pool lay a great multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 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." The issue of all is, that the will of man is the real cause and spring of enmity. The allusion to the fig-tree confirms this. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou shalt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone. 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. We have seen already that thus light was shed on men. God is love. There He supposes His full rejection and death. Here the unlimited scene is in view; not Israel, but the world. This, of course, supposes the setting aside of Jerusalem, its people and house, as they now are, and is justified by the great fact of Christ's death and resurrection, which is the key to all, though not yet intelligible even to the disciples. 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. All rights reserved. Henrys plan (1173) to assign to John, his favourite son (whom he had nicknamed Lackland), extensive lands upon his marriage with the daughter of Humbert III, count of Maurienne (Savoy), was defeated by the rebellion the proposal provoked among Johns elder brothers.

WebJohn was the most popular name given to male infants in the United States until 1924, and though its use has fallen off gradually since then, John was still the 20th most common name for boys on the Social Security Administration 's list of names given in 2006. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. (John 12:48). John 1:11-12; John 1:11-12) It was not a question now of Jehovah and His servants. For if the Son (cast out, we may say, in principle from Judaism) visited Samaria, and deigned to talk with one of the most worthless of that worthless race, it could not be a mere rehearsal of what others did. There is the need of another nature, and the only way in which this nature is communicated is by being born of water and the Spirit the employment of the word of God in the quickening energy of the Holy Ghost. He bows to, as he explains, the sovereign will 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. On the third day is the marriage in Cana of Galilee, where was His mother, Jesus also, and His disciples. Jesus said to her, You are right when you say you have no husband. Such was the grace that God was displaying in Him, the true and full expresser of His mind. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." He has given us the spirit of adoption by which we call Him, Abba, father! My wifes dad was a chiropractor and when she got to be old enough, he gave her an opportunity to be a receptionist at his clinic. This brings in the great counterpart truth, that even God present on earth and made flesh is not enough. He was prominent in the early church but is not mentioned by name in this Gospel -- which would be natural if he wrote it, but hard to Thus it is not only the person of our Lord viewed as divine, and coming down into the world. No such sounds, no such realities were ever heard or known in Israel. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." (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. 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. The hour was one for faith, or unbelief. (Ver. john 8 32) 1 John 4:16 (King James Version) 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. To have righteousness we His name was John. And such was Jesus. go, call thy husband, and come hither; go directly from hence to the city of Sychar, and call thy husband, and come back hither along with him again: this Christ said, not to have him come to teach and instruct him, and as if he would more readily and easily understand him, and that he might be with her, a partaker of the same grace; but to bring on some further conversation, by which she would understand that he knew her state and condition, and what a course of life she now lived, and so bring her under a conviction of her sin and danger, and need of him and his grace. But Jesus finds him in the temple, and said, "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." (Verses John 3:1-6), But the Lord goes farther, and bids Nicodemus not wonder at His insisting on this need. Matthew, Mark, and Luke start, as far as regards the public labours of the Lord, with John cast into prison. And then the apostle returns to his former exhortation to brotherly love, which he enforces by the following reasons, because it is of God, a fruit of his Spirit and grace, and because it is an evidence of being born of God, and of having a true knowledge of him; whereas he that is destitute of it does not know him, seeing God is love, 1Jo 4:7,8, and having affirmed that God is love, he proves it, by the mission of his Son, to be a propitiation for the sins of such that did not love him, and that they might live through him; wherefore he argues, that if God had such a love to men, so undeserving of it, then the saints ought to love one another, 1Jo 4:9-11. The looking for signs and wonders is rebuked; but mortality is arrested. It is not only the nature, but the model and fulness of the blessing in the Son, who declared the Father. 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. 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. 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. It is not that He denies the truth of what they were thus desiring and attached to. it was no lack of testimony; their will was for present honour, and hostile to the glory of the only God. On this basisJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 proceeds. Nay, the Father has given all judgment to the Son. The result immediately follows. He entered this world, became flesh, as born of woman; but there was no diminution of His own glory, when He, born of the virgin, walked on earth, or when rejected of man, cut off as Messiah, He was forsaken of God for sin our sin on the cross. (Verse John 1:9) The world therefore surely ought to have known its Maker. 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. (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk." for he knew He was the Christ. Man is morally judged. God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them. (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. He was God. 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. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. The disciples of John dispute with a Jew about purification; but John himself renders a bright witness to the glory of the Lord Jesus. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. At that time Jesus remained in the judgment hall. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. 1 John 4:19, NLT: We love each other because he loved us first. 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.

Till then the Holy Ghost could not be so given only when Jesus was glorified, after redemption was a fact. Flesh and world are judged morally. What can be more evident, or more instructive? 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. 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. Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be.

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. (Ver. The apostle attests this. Neither does the Spirit say exactly as the English Bible says "sons," but children. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." 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. If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. WebLuke 4:16.As to the relation of the following incident to the similar one in Matthew 13:53 ff., Mark 6:1 ff., see on Matthew. 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. He is ever God; He is the Son; He quickens and raises from the dead. And herein is that true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth. Heavenly things are set in evident contradistinction, and link themselves immediately here, as everywhere, with the cross as their correlative. What love! And in this He is sovereign. He who owns the reality of Christ's incarnation, receives most thankfully and adoringly from God the truth of redemption; he, on the contrary, who stumbles at redemption, has not really taken in the incarnation according to God's mind. No argument can be drawn from Luke 4:23 against the view that the incidents are different, for therein a ministry at Capernaum would already be presupposed (Schleiermacher, Kern, de Wette, Weiss, Bleek, Holtzmann, and others), as "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." Jesus said to her, You are right when you say you have no husband. 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. He had no need that any should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. Thus the Holy Ghost, given by the Son in humiliation (according to God, not acting on law, but according to the gift of grace in the gospel), was fully set forth; but the woman, though interested, and asking, only apprehended a boon for this life to save herself trouble here below. The account of Jesus calling the first disciples matches almost word for word the parallel account in Mark 1.1620. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: that all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. The Word, in order to accomplish these infinite things, "was made. And He did accept that place thoroughly, and in all its consequences. The Father seeks worshippers. but He, who is the Word made flesh, is the only-begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father, and so competent to declare, as in fact He has. WebFear of the unknown inspires intense fear. Of course it is the revelation of Christ; but here He was simply revealing the sources of this indispensable new birth. Mark what, as such, He does declare Him. 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). "No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. How can such have relationship with God? Heavenly things, therefore, could not but be natural to Him, if one may so say. Her testimony bore the impress of what had penetrated her soul, and would make way for all the rest in due time. 1 John 4:16. (1-4) The reason for Jesus warning: certain persecution. This is grace and truth. * 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." 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. 17 This is how love is made complete He distinguishes between seducing spirits, and faithful ministers of the word; the former are of the world, speak of worldly things, and worldly men hear them; but the latter are of God, and they that have any spiritual knowledge of God hear them; but such as are not of God do not heal them, by which may he known the spirit of truth from the spirit of error, 1Jo 4:5,6. "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." "He must, increase, but I decrease." None but a divine being could thus deal with the world. "Come, see a man that told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" The Spirit of God uses that word; it is thus invariably in conversion. The ignorance of the world has been proved, the rejection of Israel is complete: then only is it that we hear of this new place of children. (Ver. 7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe. This is indispensable; for God is a Spirit, and so it cannot but be.

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. 3 Reasons Proverbs 23:7 Says 'As a Man Thinks, So He Is'. It is now eternal reality, and the name of Jesus Christ is that which puts all things to a final test. I do not mean by this all individuals, but creation; for nothing can be more certain, than that those who do not receive the Son of God are so much the worse for having heard the gospel. of 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. (Ver. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. The truth is, the design of manifesting His glory governs all; place or people was a matter of no consequence. 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. It becomes a question of man's own condition, and how he stands in relation to the kingdom of God. The Son had not come to execute the judgments of the law they knew, nor even to promulgate a new and higher law. 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. Governmental healing even from Him might only end in "some worse thing" coming. Realizing that the woman would have to see her personal sin before she could see her spiritual need, Jesus began to speak of her marital affairs. Scripture is, or may be, before man always. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." 17 And as we live Nothing less than everlasting life in Christ can deliver: otherwise there remains judgment. Christ here, it will be noticed, is not so much the quickening agent as Son of God (John 5:1-47), but the object of faith as Son of man first incarnate, to be eaten; then dying and giving His flesh to be eaten, and His blood to be drank. It was worldliness in its worst shape, even to the point of turning the glory of Christ to a present account. Granted He was the Son of man; but as such, He had all judgment given Him, and would judge. (Ver. Still, such is the effect on man under law, that he could not take advantage of an adequate remedy. Thus we feed on Him and drink into Him, as man, unto life everlasting life in Him. 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. One of the peculiarities of our gospel is, that we see the Lord from time to time (and, indeed, chiefly) in or near Jerusalem. All others prove not only that they are bad, but that they hate perfect goodness, and more than that, life and light the true light in the Word. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." In this chapter the apostle cautions against seducing spirits; advises to try them, and gives rules by which they may be known, and by which they are distinguished from others; and then returns to his favourite subject, brotherly love. (VersesJohn 7:33-36; John 7:33-36) Jesus was returning to Him that sent Him, and the Holy Ghost would be given. Therefore, it seems to me, He adds verse 24. In these two points of view, more particularly, John gives testimony to Christ; He is the lamb as the taker away of the world's sin; the same is He who baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. (ver. 1 John 4:19. John 1:19-37; John 1:19-37) It is here presented historically. If believers genuinely love God they will also obey his commandments. 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. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. The Father did not judge, but committed all judgment into the hands of the Son, because He is the Son of man. And so, in fact, it was and is. How could either light or love rest in a scene of sin, darkness, and misery? Do they receive Him not? , , . 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. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 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. For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 17 This way, love has the run of the house, becomes at home and mature in us, so that we're free of worry on Judgment Day - our standing in the world is identical with Christ's.
