As the Lamb of God (of the Father it is not said), He has to do with the world. Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. 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. Each had his own; all are harmonious, all perfect, all divine; but not all so many repetitions of the same thing. Alas! And worship is viewed both in moral nature and in the joy of communion doubly. Premillennialism turns Jesus into a liar. How can such have relationship with God? (Ver. 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. (ver. Life out of death was wanted by man, such as he is; and this the Father is giving in the Son. He reminds them of his previous disclaimer of any place beyond one sent before Jesus. What sayest thou of thyself? 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. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." and they might the rather be induced to take such a step, since, Now, it is the Holy Ghost in the power that gives rivers of living water flowing out, and this bound up with, and consequent on, His being man in glory. This He does in verses 16-19. (VerseJohn 4:10; John 4:10) Infinite grace! The Father did not judge, but committed all judgment into the hands of the Son, because He is the Son of man. 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. 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. (VersesJohn 3:20-21; John 3:20-21). One must be born again for God's kingdom a Jew for what was promised him, like another. (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? A person (the bell ringer) would place a leather muffle over half of the bell's clapper. 2. 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. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers. Hence, after having first unmistakably laid down the necessity of the cross, He next shows the grace that was manifested in the gift of Jesus. (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. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." John 7:24) They reason and are in utter uncertainty. They entered not into His words more than His grace, but thought and spoke, like the Samaritan woman, about things of this life. Thus it is a kind of transitional fact for a most important part of our gospel, though still introductory. Thus it is not only the person of our Lord viewed as divine, and coming down into the world. So we see in the attractive power, afterwards dealing with individual souls. Her testimony bore the impress of what had penetrated her soul, and would make way for all the rest in due time. 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. Indeed, He was the great Prophet, as He was the great King, and as He is now the great Priest on high. Nor was it from any indistinctness in the record, or in him who gave it. None else could do either work: for here we see His great work on earth, and His heavenly power. King James Version (KJV) Canon Law tells us to obey the old law, (Can. 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. Art thou Elias? John was not yet cast into prison. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." 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. Jesus Walks on the Sea. But this, however worthy of God, and indispensable for man, could not of itself give an adequate expression of what God is; because in this alone, neither His own love nor the glory of His Son finds due display. 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. secret thoughts and purposes of them; or, as man, understood by It is the final setting aside of Judaism then, whose characteristic hope was the display of power and rest in the world. Here (John 5:1-47) the first view given of Christ is His person in contrast with the law. The Father and the Son were at work. 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. 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. 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." 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 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. Nathanael's call is just as clearly typical of Israel in the latter day. He would have every soul to know assuredly how he stands for eternity as well as now. This last is the figure of a truth deeper than incarnation, and clearly means communion with His death. 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. He that comes from above from heaven is above all. We have seen already that thus light was shed on men. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." Presented by. "He came unto his own [things], and his own [people] received him not. 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. Details are not called for now, but just the outline of the truth. It was not intended for other beings it was God's free gift to man, to the believer, of course. Death knell. How truly it is man under law! 64). 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. Nor was it yet complete. Then (ver. (Ver. It was worldliness in its worst shape, even to the point of turning the glory of Christ to a present account. Still, such is the effect on man under law, that he could not take advantage of an adequate remedy. 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. "In the consistory of Dec. 15, 1958 . Further, it is connected intimately with the evidence of man's ruin by sin. The Jan. 6 commission's death knell. Such was Jesus in person, contrasted with all who belong to the earth. of Such shall live. (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. behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. 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). 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). 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. He is ever God; He is the Son; He quickens and raises from the dead. Here was One on earth who knew all secrets. 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. He is a divine person; His manhood brought no attainder to His rights as God. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 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. Verse John 1:29 opens John's testimony to his disciples. "What is premillennialism?" Premillennialism is the view that Christ's second coming will occur prior to His millennial kingdom, and that . "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." Read full chapter. 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 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. 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. 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. But the chapter does not close without a further contrast. God orders matters so that a favoured teacher of men, favoured as none others were in Israel, should come to Jesus by night. How striking the omission! Deeper questions demanded solution. he would not. They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. through "sin." 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. One of the peculiarities of our gospel is, that we see the Lord from time to time (and, indeed, chiefly) in or near Jerusalem. 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." 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. Then, resuming the strain of verse John 1:14, we are told, in verseJohn 1:16; John 1:16, that "of his fulness have all we received." 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. His was an errand incomparably deeper, more worthy of God, and suitable to One "full of grace and truth." This is all perfectly true, of course; and we have it elsewhere. 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. by this miracle, they could not doubt of his being able to Rest is not the question now at all; but the flow of the Spirit's power while Jesus is on high. "Come, see a man that told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" Were the Jews zealously keeping the sabbath? Here He is not portrayed as the Son of man who must be lifted up, but as the Son of God who was given. There was sentence of death pronounced on their system, and they felt accordingly. Why should He not show Himself to the world? (John 12:48). 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 . 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. Because John declares that the one who does not believe in God's testimony is calling God "a liar." This is crucial to see. What love! And he saith, I am not. (Verse John 3:10). This is the marked effect on the third day (ver. It is His person as incarnate first, then in redemption giving His flesh to be eaten and His blood to be drank. alone; How were they not enjoyed in despised Samaria those two days with the Son of God among them! The judgment, all of it, whether for quick or dead, is consigned to Him, because He is Son of man. Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. The incarnate Word was here full of grace and truth. Resurrection will be the proof; the two-fold rising of the dead, not one, but two resurrections. 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. In vain did any come to the Baptist to report the widening circle around Christ. Nobody had gone up to heaven: God had taken more than one; but no one had gone there as of right. He saw him under the fig tree. Could they, then, reject the Son, and merely miss this infinite blessing of life in Him? Here, then, we have a remarkable display of that which preceded His Galilean ministry, or public manifestation. . For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. mountain alone". 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. that his kingdom was not of this world; to teach his followers to but. , , . The distinctiveness of such a testimony to the Saviour's glory need hardly be pointed out. 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. not the Jews only; for, as far as intelligence went, it was little better with the disciples till He rose from the dead. it was no lack of testimony; their will was for present honour, and hostile to the glory of the only God. to let them know, that those who sought only for a temporal For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. Observe, it is not (as is often very erroneously said or sung) a question of sins, but of the "sin" of the world. 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. 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. For Jesus perceived that they were on the point of coming and carrying Him off to make Him king. 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). He acts as such. 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. Clarke's Commentary. 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. Ringing of the death bells is done slowly and reverently. 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. Verse John 6:15. (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk." 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. redeemer, were unworthy of his presence: and also he went away he left the company directly, upon this resolution of theirs, and 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. 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. The truth is, the design of manifesting His glory governs all; place or people was a matter of no consequence. This language is said of both, but most strongly of the latter. 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. And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. Observe, that blessed as the light is, being God's moral nature, truth is more than this, and is introduced by grace. * 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." 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 is the only miracle recorded in all four of the gospel accounts. 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. 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. Christ did not wait till the time was fully come for the old things to pass away, and all to be made new. "He must, increase, but I decrease." He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Notably He is now applying it to the reconciliation of a people, who are also baptized by the Holy Ghost into one body. (Psalms 132:1-18) Then they wanted to make Him a king. There is the nicest care to maintain His personal glory, no matter what the subject may be. contrary to all others, renders it, "Christ departed from the Granted He was the Son of man; but as such, He had all judgment given Him, and would judge. Nothing less than everlasting life in Christ can deliver: otherwise there remains judgment. The Lord meets him at once with the strongest assertion of the absolute necessity that a man should be born anew in order to see the kingdom of God. (VersesJohn 6:1-21; John 6:1-21). 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. It seemed natural: He had fed the poor with bread, and why should not He take His place on the throne? His corporeal presence was not necessary; His word was enough. But how precious the grace, in presence of their hatred and proud self-complacency! John 6:39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. It was sabbath-day. It is not that He denies the truth of what they were thus desiring and attached to. And such was Jesus. 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. But even this sufficed not: the Son of man must be lifted up. 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. 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 is not denunciation, but the most solemn sentence in the calmest manner. This is why premillennial-ism is based on a kind of hermeneutical fundamental of the Christian Faith. 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.
