Still, such is the effect on man under law, that he could not take advantage of an adequate remedy. Premillennialists believe that Revelation does imply this because Jesus is on the throne and Satan is bound. If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. Here, then, we have a remarkable display of that which preceded His Galilean ministry, or public manifestation. John 6:15King James Version. It passes over all question of dispensations, until it accomplishes, in all its extent, that purpose for which He thus died. 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. 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. Nay, "the world knew him not." Because John declares that the one who does not believe in God's testimony is calling God "a liar." This is crucial to see. 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. The answer given by modern premillennial apologists usually suggests that premillennialism was overcome for illegitimate reasons. and the two disciples leave John for Jesus. But see the blessed fruit of receiving it. If His time was not yet come, their time was always ready. Before the manner of His manifestation comes before us in verse 14, we have the secret explained why some, and not all, received Christ. It was sabbath-day. It was no longer a moot-point whether God could trust man; for, indeed, He could not. All disciplinary action, every probationary process, disappears. Nay, the Father has given all judgment to the Son. The Spirit of God uses that word; it is thus invariably in conversion. There are three kinds of fundamentals: 1) Doctrinal fundamentals (e.g., the Trinity, Deity of Christ, Sacrificial Atonement, and Resurrection). Beholding Him as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God! 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. (VerseJohn 4:10; John 4:10) Infinite grace! Such is God's vindication of His outraged rights; and the judgment will be proportionate to the glory that has been set at nought. Lastly, closing this part, we have another most remarkable contrast. No doubt He must become a man, in order, amongst other reasons, to be a sufferer, and to die. I apprehend the words the Authorised Version gives in italics should disappear. 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. It was impossible that there should not be righteous dealing with human evil against God, in its sources and its streams. He is a divine person; His manhood brought no attainder to His rights as God. (Ed. 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. For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. He wanted nothing; He came to give yea, the very best, so to speak, that God has. 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. Jesus saw the man, and knowing that he was long thus, prompts the desire of healing, but brings out the despondency of unbelief. What more glorious proof than that the Holy Ghost is given not a certain defined power or gift, but the Holy Ghost Himself; for God gives not the Spirit by measure! All this, however, was abstract, whether as to the nature of the Word or as to the place of the Christian. The Word, God (and only begotten Son in the Father's bosom), He was eternally Son of God, too, as born into the world. How were they not enjoyed in despised Samaria those two days with the Son of God among them! No charge could be remoter from the truth. Each had his own; all are harmonious, all perfect, all divine; but not all so many repetitions of the same thing. 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. 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." John 6:15. John 1:29-34) How rich it is, and how marvellously in keeping with our gospel! Thus solemnly does the meek Lord Jesus unfold these two truths. It is not a question of the law, but of hearing Christ's word, and believing Him who sent Christ: he that does so has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment; but is passed from death unto life. , , . The death knell is recognizable by its muffled sound. This the Lord refuses, and goes up the mountain to pray, His disciples being meanwhile exposed to a storm on the lake, and straining after the desired haven till He rejoins them, when immediately the ship was at the land whither they went. for he knew He was the Christ. How was this? and they might the rather be induced to take such a step, since, 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. even took not his disciples with him, who were in the same way of The question really is, whether man would trust God. They cite the rise of an unbiblical and dangerous allegorical hermeneutic (by such as Clement of Alexandria and Origen) which took a sad toll on sound biblical exegesis. His was an errand incomparably deeper, more worthy of God, and suitable to One "full of grace and truth." As the Lamb of God (of the Father it is not said), He has to do with the world. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. Not only man under law has no health, but he has no strength to avail himself of the blessing that God holds out. 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. support such an army of men, and to succeed in the enterprise; He gave them title to take the place of children of God, even to those that believe on His name. For the astonishing thought is, not merely that Jesus receives the Holy Ghost without measure, but that God gives the Spirit also, and not by measure, through Him to others. Such shall live. Nor could any question be more momentous. A person (the bell ringer) would place a leather muffle over half of the bell's clapper. John 6:15 in all English translations. This is the only miracle recorded in all four of the gospel accounts. California - Do Not Sell My Personal Information. Verse John 6:15. What love! "Come, see a man that told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" it may be chiefly, that he prayed that God would open the minds 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. How, indeed, could it be stayed within narrow limits? Could they, then, reject the Son, and merely miss this infinite blessing of life in Him? Why should He not show Himself to the world? 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 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. (Verse John 3:16), Let it not be passed by, that while the new birth or regeneration is declared to be essential to a part in the kingdom of God, the Lord in urging this intimates that He had not gone beyond the earthly things of that kingdom. 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." Nor would the rejected Christ, the Son of man; for if lifted up on the cross, instead of having the throne of David, the result would be not merely earthly blessing for His people according to prophecy, but eternal life for the believer, whoever. John 1:29; John 1:29John 1:34; John 1:34) of John Baptist's testimony here named; the first day (ver. "He came unto his own [things], and his own [people] received him not. 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. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? forsake the honours and riches of this world, for his sake; and John 3:1-36 follows this up. Nicodemus remonstrates but is spurned; all retire to their home Jesus, who had none, to the mount of Olives. But how precious the grace, in presence of their hatred and proud self-complacency! And he answered, No. He was God. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." 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. But when the Lord speaks of His cross, and not God's judicial requirements only, but the gift of Himself in His true personal glory as the occasion for the grace of God to display itself to the utmost, then, and not till then, do we hear of eternal life, and this connected with both these points of view. Under all changes, outwardly, He abode as from eternity the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. Neither does the Spirit say exactly as the English Bible says "sons," but children. The looking for signs and wonders is rebuked; but mortality is arrested. Nathanael's call is just as clearly typical of Israel in the latter day. redeemer, were unworthy of his presence: and also he went away 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. 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. It was worldliness in its worst shape, even to the point of turning the glory of Christ to a present account. Copyright 2023, Bible Study Tools. (Psalms 132:1-18) Then they wanted to make Him a king. Of course it is the revelation of Christ; but here He was simply revealing the sources of this indispensable new birth. The addition of "unto him" detracts, to my mind, from the exceeding preciousness of what seems to be, at least, left open. Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be. 4. Clarke's Commentary. Matthew, Mark, and Luke start, as far as regards the public labours of the Lord, with John cast into prison. Life resurrection will display how little they had to be ashamed of, who believed the record given of His Son; the resurrection of judgment will make but too plain, to those who despised the Lord, both His honour and their sin and shame. 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? 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. It is our evangelist's way of indicating His Galilean sojourn; and this miracle is the particular subject that John was led by the Holy Ghost to take up. The distinctiveness of such a testimony to the Saviour's glory need hardly be pointed out. How withering the words! What a witness all this to His person! 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. He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. 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. 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. For "he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ. Such was the grace that God was displaying in Him, the true and full expresser of His mind. John 6:16. (Ver. (Verses John 7:19-23) What judgment could be less righteous? 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. The truth is, the design of manifesting His glory governs all; place or people was a matter of no consequence. 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. 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. From the very first, man, being a sinner, was wholly lost. and 'Death Knell for John Knox' bottom centre and '3/23' Purchased from Monika Kinley (Grant-in-Aid) 1983 The following . 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. Here again, apart from this divine insight, the change or gift of the name marks His glory. They knew what they worshipped, but not the Father, nor were they "true." The sound goes back and forth between a harder chime and a muffled chime. "Master, eat," said they. The disciples come; the woman goes into the city, leaving her waterpot, but carrying with her the unspeakable gift of God. 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. So in the baptism with the Holy Ghost, who would pretend to such a power? 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 . Judgment is the alternative for man: for God it is the resource to make good the glory of the Son, and in that nature, in and for which man blind to his own highest dignity dares to despise Him. 29) on which, as it were, Jesus speaks and acts in His grace as here shown on the earth. 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? And Jesus answers, "I that speak unto thee am he." "The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came ( ) by Jesus Christ." 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. Both of them were in relation to man on the earth; the one while He was here, the other from above. And they asked him, What then? Thus former things pass away; the old man is judged, dead, and clean gone. 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.

John 7:24) They reason and are in utter uncertainty. But the chapter does not close without a further contrast. The Son had not come to execute the judgments of the law they knew, nor even to promulgate a new and higher law. "For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved." The dreadful truth comes out: the Lord did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men. 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. 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. Here was a meeting, indeed, between such an one and Him, the Son, true God and eternal life. 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. 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. Canon Law tells us to obey the old law, (Can. 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. kingdom, in which they might hope for great secular advantages: Do they receive Him not?

(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. Salem Media Group. His joy was that of a friend of the Bridegroom (to whom, not to him, the bride belonged), and now fulfilled as he heard the Bridegroom's voice. Thus in one way or the other all must honour the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. 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. 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). The allusion to the fig-tree confirms this. Deeper questions demanded solution. Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. C. Death knell for "Good Pope John" . This would make all manifest. 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. Sons they might have been in bare title; but these had the right of children. (Verses John 1:41-44), On the morrow Jesus begins, directly and indirectly, to call others to follow Himself. Governmental healing even from Him might only end in "some worse thing" coming. 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. Did they charge Jesus with self-exaltation? but. 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. Thus we all not only receive of His fulness, (and what fulness illimitable was there not in Him!) Coming after John as to date, He is necessarily preferred before him in dignity; for He was ( ) [not come into being ( )] before Him. 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. "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." We have had his name introduced into each part of the preface of our evangelist. Here He is not portrayed as the Son of man who must be lifted up, but as the Son of God who was given. "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." This last is the figure of a truth deeper than incarnation, and clearly means communion with His death. But as many as received him, to them gave he power [rather, authority, right, or title] to become children of God." John 4:1-6; John 4:1-6) What a picture of rejection and humiliation! (Ver. God the Father forms a new family in, by, and for Christ. A more recent production, advocating the same general theory, is the fictional Left Behindseries. 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? 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. "He must, increase, but I decrease." John gives us this point of contact with them, though in an incident peculiar to himself. He would have every soul to know assuredly how he stands for eternity as well as now. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment." And herein is that true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth. But even this sufficed not: the Son of man must be lifted up. Here, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." 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. All is in the character of the Son of man. 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. We'll send you an email with steps on how to reset your password. (John 12:48). (Ver. They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. Verse 15. No such sounds, no such realities were ever heard or known in Israel. Do any believe on His name? John 1:19-37; John 1:19-37) It is here presented historically. 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. king; Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. (VersesJohn 7:33-36; John 7:33-36) Jesus was returning to Him that sent Him, and the Holy Ghost would be given. 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). Besides this, goodness overflows, in that the Father is gathering children, and making worshippers. 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. As to Himself, He does not go at that time to the feast of tabernacles; but later on He goes up "not openly, but as it were in secret" (verseJohn 7:10; John 7:10), and taught. 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. It was not the time now to demonstrate in public power these coming, yea, then present truths. * The best text omits other expressions, evidently derived from verses John 1:15; John 1:30John 1:30. Details are not called for now, but just the outline of the truth. A second and wholly new man appears the bread of God, not of man, but for men. The Jews wanted to force Christ to be a king like Saul, David or Solomon. Grace begins, glory descends; "Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink." 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. These are a test of evangelical authenticity. All this clearly goes down to millennial days. 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. He could be declared only by One who was a divine person in the intimacy of the Godhead, yea, was the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. Take him by force, to make him a king The Jews had often suffered by famine in those times in which their enemies were permitted to prevail over them; but, finding that Jesus had such power as to multiply a few loaves to feed thousands, they took it for granted that while he was at their head no evil could possibly happen to them, and therefore were . Jesus explains: "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. "had it in their mind", as the Persic; to gather about him as one Here (John 5:1-47) the first view given of Christ is His person in contrast with the law. Man, under law, proved powerless; and the greater the need, the less the ability to avail himself of such merciful intervention as God still, from time to time, kept up throughout the legal system. 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 was not intended for other beings it was God's free gift to man, to the believer, of course. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." So only is man born of God. (Ver. (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk." 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.

On the third day is the marriage in Cana of Galilee, where was His mother, Jesus also, and His disciples. To this last the Lord attaches the deepest importance. (See Hebrews 12:2, Hebrews 13:11-13) Again, let me just remark in passing, that although, no doubt, we may in a general way speak of those who partake of the new nature as having that life, yet the Holy Ghost refrains from predicating of any saints the full character of eternal life as a present thing until we have the cross of Christ laid (at least doctrinally) as the ground of it. (1-4) A crowd gathers to Jesus near the Sea of Galilee. Till then the Holy Ghost could not be so given only when Jesus was glorified, after redemption was a fact. "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." that his kingdom was not of this world; to teach his followers to One of the peculiarities of our gospel is, that we see the Lord from time to time (and, indeed, chiefly) in or near Jerusalem. 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.
