John 6:15 in all English translations. But how precious the grace, in presence of their hatred and proud self-complacency! But "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." It was not so. The Father seeks worshippers. And He did accept that place thoroughly, and in all its consequences. Beholding Him as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God!

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. Such was Jesus in person, contrasted with all who belong to the earth. It is no question here of every man, but of such as believe. 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).

John 6:15. John 6:15 in all English translations. (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? (Ver.

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. In John 6:1-71 our Lord sets aside Israel in another point of view. Pharisaic jealousy had wrought; and Jesus, wearied, sat thus at the fountain of Jacob's well in Sychar. It passes over all question of dispensations, until it accomplishes, in all its extent, that purpose for which He thus died. 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. through "sin." And he laid hold of the dragon, the serpent of old, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years; and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

Premillennialism turns Jesus into a liar. King James Version (KJV) (Ver. of these men, and particularly the disciples; that they might be (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. convinced of their mistaken notions of him as a temporal prince: 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. Alas! This scene throws light on the use of in Matthew 11:12. It was no longer a moot-point whether God could trust man; for, indeed, He could not. Heavenly things, therefore, could not but be natural to Him, if one may so say. 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. of The thrust of Lindsey's book is two-fold: First, it espouses the premillennial theory of Christ's second coming. How could either light or love rest in a scene of sin, darkness, and misery? California - Do Not Sell My Personal Information. * The best text omits other expressions, evidently derived from verses John 1:15; John 1:30John 1:30. 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." The judgment, all of it, whether for quick or dead, is consigned to Him, because He is Son of man. with a big assist from Olivia Beavers, Sarah Ferris and Marianne LeVine. It is evident, that were He not God, it would be an interference with His glory, a place taken inconsistent with His sole authority, no less than it must be also, and for that reason, altogether ruinous to man. Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. How withering the words! If anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, that person was thrown into the lake of fire." (Rev 20:11-15) In other words: 1. "But He said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of." So we see in the attractive power, afterwards dealing with individual souls. Nathanael's call is just as clearly typical of Israel in the latter day. Thus it is not only the person of our Lord viewed as divine, and coming down into the world. What is there in God more truly divine than grace and truth? Fritzsche, p. 21). 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. Premillenialism is that system of religious belief that holds that Christ didn't set up a kingdom when he was on earth because the Jews rejected it but will one day return to set up an earthly kingdom in which Christ will reign on the earth for a thousand years. And Jesus answers, "I that speak unto thee am he." forsake the honours and riches of this world, for his sake; and Truth and grace were not sought nor found in man, but began to subsist here below by Jesus Christ. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. (ver. It was not the time now to demonstrate in public power these coming, yea, then present truths. Therefore, it seems to me, He adds verse 24. And as life is in the person of the Son, so God in sending Him meant not that the smallest uncertainty should exist for aught so momentous. 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. Were the Jews zealously keeping the sabbath? Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be. that his kingdom was not of this world; to teach his followers to "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Here the Lord introduces the cross. Christ was the true sanctuary, not that on which man had laboured so long in Jerusalem. "He must, increase, but I decrease." (Ed. 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. A person (the bell ringer) would place a leather muffle over half of the bell's clapper. contrary to all others, renders it, "Christ departed from the Mark what, as such, He does declare Him. Nor will the full force of this expression be witnessed till the glorious result of His blood shedding sweep away the last trace of sin in the new heavens and the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. When Jesus therefore perceived. Such are the grand emphatic points to which the Lord leads. None else could do either work: for here we see His great work on earth, and His heavenly power. (VersesJohn 7:33-36; John 7:33-36) Jesus was returning to Him that sent Him, and the Holy Ghost would be given. 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. 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. How can such have relationship with God? Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? "had it in their mind", as the Persic; to gather about him as one (VersesJohn 3:20-21; John 3:20-21). So does his confession: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God: thou art the King of Israel. But they learn that it was his divine Physician who had not only healed, but so directed him. and proclaim him the King Messiah; place him at the head of them, some copies add, "and he prayed there"; the Syriac, Ethiopic, and He who, living, was received for eternal life, is our meat and drink in dying, and gives us communion with His death. And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together. (Verses John 4:31-38). Still, such is the effect on man under law, that he could not take advantage of an adequate remedy. (VersesJohn 6:1-21; John 6:1-21). John 6:1-15 describes Jesus' feeding thousands of peoplethe fourth of the gospel of John's seven ''signs'' of Christ's divinity. 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." Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." There is but one unfailing test the Son of God God's testimony to Him. John 5. 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. For nothing can be more observable than the way in which He becomes the centre round whom those that belong to God are gathered. 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. 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. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Here there could not be more, and He would not give less: even "grace upon grace." Premillennialists believe that Revelation does imply this because Jesus is on the throne and Satan is bound. (Ver. This last is the figure of a truth deeper than incarnation, and clearly means communion with His death. into, very probably was the same he went up to before; the "Master, eat," said they. 15 Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to the mountain by Himself alone. Read full chapter. The man could not tell the Jews the name of his benefactor. (Verses John 7:16-18) , The Jews kept not the law) and wished to kill Him who healed man in divine love. His glorious person would have none now in relation to God but members of the family. None but a divine being could thus deal with the world. John was not yet cast into prison. Without it there is no divine understanding of Christ, or of His word, or of Scripture. 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. John 7. 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. Whosoever denieth the Son hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. This will be displayed in the millennium, when the marriage will be celebrated, as well as the judgment executed (Jerusalem and its temple being the central point then). One must be born again. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 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. But even this sufficed not: the Son of man must be lifted up. All rights reserved. We have had his name introduced into each part of the preface of our evangelist. It is the wider, universal glory of the Son of man (according toPsalms 8:1-9; Psalms 8:1-9); but the most striking part of it verified from that actual moment because of the glory of His person, which needed not the day of glory to command the attendance of the angels of God this mark, as Son of man. 1. But it is important we should know how He entered the world. it was no lack of testimony; their will was for present honour, and hostile to the glory of the only God. Did they charge Jesus with self-exaltation? If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. 4. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest. But the Lord reproaches him, the master of Israel, with not knowing these things: that is, as a teacher, with Israel for his scholar, he ought to have known them objectively, at least, if not consciously. Besides this, goodness overflows, in that the Father is gathering children, and making worshippers. In a certain sense, the principle of John 4:1-54 was made true in the woman of Samaria, and in others who received Christ then. (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk." 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. He had no need that any should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. The effect is thus final, even as His person, witness, and glory are divine. Here there is no John proclaiming Jesus as the One who was about to introduce the kingdom of heaven. to let them know, that those who sought only for a temporal 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. Later He was determined to be Son of God with power by resurrection of the dead. Flesh and world are judged morally. C. Death knell for "Good Pope John" . Under all changes, outwardly, He abode as from eternity the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. Here (John 5:1-47) the first view given of Christ is His person in contrast with the law. Thus in one way or the other all must honour the Son. 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. We'll send you an email with steps on how to reset your password. Hence the Son, being in this ineffable nearness of love, has declared not God only, but the Father. John 1:26-27; John 1:26-27) For himself he was not the Christ, but for Jesus he says no more. Hence the Lord, while fully owning the labours of all preceding labourers, has before His eyes the whole boundless expanse of grace, the mighty harvest which His apostles were to reap in due time. The Word, in order to accomplish these infinite things, "was made. After this we have, suitably to this gospel, John's connection with the Lord Jesus. 15 When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone. But there was this difference from the former occasion, that, at the marriage in Cana (John 2:1-25), the change of the water into wine was clearly millennial in its typical aspect. 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. 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." How truly it is man under law! God orders matters so that a favoured teacher of men, favoured as none others were in Israel, should come to Jesus by night. The character is wholly different from the position and glory of Messiah in Israel, according to promise and prophecy. God the Father forms a new family in, by, and for Christ. They had eyes, but they saw not; ears had they, but they heard not, nor did they understand His glory. For Jesus perceived that they were on the point of coming and carrying Him off to make Him king. 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. it may be chiefly, that he prayed that God would open the minds "He was in the world, and the world was made by him." If His time was not yet come, their time was always ready. Granted He was the Son of man; but as such, He had all judgment given Him, and would judge. king; 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? They entered not into His words more than His grace, but thought and spoke, like the Samaritan woman, about things of this life. It is not a message or a sign, however significant at the moment, which passes away as soon as heard or seen. 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. Do they receive Him not? 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 becomes a question of man's own condition, and how he stands in relation to the kingdom of God. It was sabbath-day. Article Images Copyright 2023 Getty Images unless otherwise indicated. 42). But the chapter does not close without a further contrast. It is not denunciation, but the most solemn sentence in the calmest manner. There He supposes His full rejection and death. not the Jews only; for, as far as intelligence went, it was little better with the disciples till He rose from the dead. 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! 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. Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. John 7:24) They reason and are in utter uncertainty. What sayest thou of thyself?
