Here the unlimited scene is in view; not Israel, but the world. (Ver. The looking for signs and wonders is rebuked; but mortality is arrested. and the more manifest from His lips to one who was a real impersonation of sin, misery, blindness, degradation. The judgment, all of it, whether for quick or dead, is consigned to Him, because He is Son of man. None the less did the result of His death proclaim His Deity. Heavenly things are set in evident contradistinction, and link themselves immediately here, as everywhere, with the cross as their correlative. - Jesus therefore knowing (having found, perceived (), by ominous movements in the crowd, or in any other way still more explicit) that they were about to come and by violence, or force, seize him in order that they might make him King. 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. and 'Death Knell for John Knox' bottom centre and '3/23' Purchased from Monika Kinley (Grant-in-Aid) 1983 The following . The result immediately follows. (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? 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. Without it there is no divine understanding of Christ, or of His word, or of Scripture. Indeed, He was the great Prophet, as He was the great King, and as He is now the great Priest on high. Ringing of the death bells is done slowly and reverently. As mentioned in the Introduction Section, premillennialism was the prevailing view of the Early Church for about the first three centuries, secret thoughts and purposes of them; or, as man, understood by It was sabbath-day. The Father and the Son were at work. The disciples come; the woman goes into the city, leaving her waterpot, but carrying with her the unspeakable gift of God. , , . The question really is, whether man would trust God. their words and gestures: that they would come and take him by force, and make him a "He came unto his own [things], and his own [people] received him not. His was an errand incomparably deeper, more worthy of God, and suitable to One "full of grace and truth." And He did accept that place thoroughly, and in all its consequences. that we may give an answer to them that sent us. 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. Not only man under law has no health, but he has no strength to avail himself of the blessing that God holds out. Though He could not, would not deny Himself (and He was the Son, and Word, and God), yet had He taken the place of a man, of a servant. 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." 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. The man could not tell the Jews the name of his benefactor. (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. The sound goes back and forth between a harder chime and a muffled chime. 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. All this clearly goes down to millennial days. And Jesus went up on the mountain, and there He sat with His disciples. 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. 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. He would have every soul to know assuredly how he stands for eternity as well as now. "The law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came ( ) by Jesus Christ." Here, then, we have a remarkable display of that which preceded His Galilean ministry, or public manifestation. God orders matters so that a favoured teacher of men, favoured as none others were in Israel, should come to Jesus by night. 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. On the third day is the marriage in Cana of Galilee, where was His mother, Jesus also, and His disciples. Augustine believed God's purposes were always being fulfilled, the gospel was always advancing into "the nations at the four corners of the earth." The saints who had been spiritually raised to. A more recent production, advocating the same general theory, is the fictional Left Behindseries. It was not so. It is here we learn in what condition of His person God was to be revealed and the work done; not what He was in nature, but what He became. No doubt He must become a man, in order, amongst other reasons, to be a sufferer, and to die. For though the Son (that eternal life who was with the Father) was a man, in that very position had the Father given Him to have life in Himself, and to execute judgment also, because He is Son of man. 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. (Ver. 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. His aspect as thus tabernacling among the disciples was "full of grace and truth." Nor could any question be more momentous. It is not a message or a sign, however significant at the moment, which passes away as soon as heard or seen. Did the dead (for so men are treated, not as alive under law) did they hear the voice of the Son of God? Nevertheless the Son had taken the place of being the sent One, the place of subordination in the earth, in which He would say, "My Father is greater than I." It is no question here of every man, but of such as believe. Therefore, it seems to me, He adds verse 24. He saw him under the fig tree. 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. Nathanael's call is just as clearly typical of Israel in the latter day. Then (ver. (Verses John 7:3-5) The Lord intimates the impossibility of anticipating the time of God; but then He does it as connected with His own personal glory. Why this is so hard for Traditionalists to comprehend is baffling; all they need to do is to follow TRADITION. But what we learn is, that our Lord (viewed as having entered into heaven as man on the ground of redemption, i.e., ascended, after having passed through death, into glory) from that glory confers meanwhile the Holy Ghost on him that believes, instead of bringing in at once the final feast of gladness for the Jews and the world, as He will do by-and-by when the anti-typical harvest and vintage has been fulfilled. There is no other way in which the new nature is made good in a soul. 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. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." But how precious the grace, in presence of their hatred and proud self-complacency! To the Pharisees, indeed, his words as to the Lord are curt: nor does he tell them of the divine ground of His glory, as he had before and does after. John 6:1-15 describes Jesus' feeding thousands of peoplethe fourth of the gospel of John's seven ''signs'' of Christ's divinity. 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. This movement was not an unnatural one. "Master, eat," said they. No charge could be remoter from the truth. But it is important we should know how He entered the world. As the Lamb of God (of the Father it is not said), He has to do with the world. All disciplinary action, every probationary process, disappears. Please enter your email address associated with your Salem All-Pass account, then click Continue. Hence, then, we have the Lord Jesus alluding to this fresh necessity, if man was to be blessed according to God. So we see in the attractive power, afterwards dealing with individual souls. 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. 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. John 7:24) They reason and are in utter uncertainty. Nor was it yet complete. of these men, and particularly the disciples; that they might be But the chapter does not close without a further contrast. The great fact of the incarnation is brought before us "The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father"). it may be chiefly, that he prayed that God would open the minds And they asked him, What then? 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. man, and seize him in a violent manner, whether he would or not; But He, being God, was manifesting and, on the contrary, maintaining the divine glory here below. Heavenly things, therefore, could not but be natural to Him, if one may so say. Scripture is, or may be, before man always. At once their malice drops the beneficent power of God in the case, provoked at the fancied wrong done to the seventh day. 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. There was sentence of death pronounced on their system, and they felt accordingly. Under all changes, outwardly, He abode as from eternity the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. 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. This would make all manifest. 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. Verse 15. Do they receive Him not? (VersesJohn 3:20-21; John 3:20-21). 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. 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. (Ver. conjunction with the Lord's Second Coming) (Hebert 2006c:5-6). This is grace and truth. His corporeal presence was not necessary; His word was enough. 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. 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. But even this sufficed not: the Son of man must be lifted up. As being the omniscient God, who knew their hearts, and the (Verses John 7:19-23) What judgment could be less righteous? (VersesJohn 3:7-8; John 3:7-8), It is hardly necessary to furnish detailed disproof of the crude, ill-considered notion (originated by the fathers), that baptism is in question. In the Word was life, and the life was the light of men. 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. Such are the grand emphatic points to which the Lord leads. "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." This we have had fully before. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." 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. Beholding Him as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God! and the two disciples leave John for Jesus. 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. To this last the Lord attaches the deepest importance. Christ was the true sanctuary, not that on which man had laboured so long in Jerusalem. God does not here condescend to call it His, though, of course, it was His and holy, just, and good, both in itself and in its use, if used lawfully. The allusion to the fig-tree confirms this. 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. Starting with only a tiny lunch of bread and . The truth is, the design of manifesting His glory governs all; place or people was a matter of no consequence. They had no common thoughts, feelings, or ways with the Father and the Son.

The hour was one for faith, or unbelief. The Father did not judge, but committed all judgment into the hands of the Son, because He is the Son of man. 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. 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 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). What a witness all this to His person! Did they charge Jesus with self-exaltation? John 6:15 in all English translations. John 6:15 in all English translations. 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. he departed again into a mountain, himself 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. 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. it was no lack of testimony; their will was for present honour, and hostile to the glory of the only God. We have had his name introduced into each part of the preface of our evangelist. Details are not called for now, but just the outline of the truth. "He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. And he saith, I am not. 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. From the very first, man, being a sinner, was wholly lost. Verse John 6:15. 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. The Spirit of God uses that word; it is thus invariably in conversion. If He judges, it is not without full warning. In Him was life for this scene of death; and it is of faith that it might be by grace. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? ( ) flesh, and dwelt among us." It was no longer a moot-point whether God could trust man; for, indeed, He could not. 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. 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. But Jesus finds him in the temple, and said, "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." 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. There are three kinds of fundamentals: 1) Doctrinal fundamentals (e.g., the Trinity, Deity of Christ, Sacrificial Atonement, and Resurrection). Neither does the Spirit say exactly as the English Bible says "sons," but children. Alas! How singularly is the glory of the Lord Jesus thus viewed, as invested with the testimony of God and its crown! 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. Catalogue entry. Flesh and world are judged morally. 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. Because John declares that the one who does not believe in God's testimony is calling God "a liar." This is crucial to see. Thus in one way or the other all must honour the Son. Here there is no John proclaiming Jesus as the One who was about to introduce the kingdom of heaven. and inasmuch as death is the last enemy, the destruction of the remaining powers ("when he shall have destroyed all rule and authority and power") will have to be understood not as a final struggle beginning after the parousia, but as the definite victory of christ that has already begun in his cross and resurrection and exaltation (cf., e.g., For were it not God Himself in the person of Jesus, it had been no glory to God, but a wrong and a rival. The first four chapters of John precede in point of time the notices of His ministry in the other gospels. 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. How can such have relationship with God? "No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. Were the Jews zealously keeping the sabbath? The chapter pursues this subject, showing that it is not only God who thus deals first, with the necessity of man before His own immutable nature; next, blessing according to the riches of His grace but, further, that man's state morally is detected yet more awfully in presence of such grace as well as holiness in Christ. Law, means, ordinances, could not meet the need no pool, nor angel nothing but the Son working in grace, the Son quickening. 64). 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. They spoke of the world; the world might hear them. So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone. If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. The sacrificial death of Him who is God goes far beyond the thought of Israel. 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. They wonder, as they had murmured before (John 7:12-15); but Jesus shows that the desire to do God's will is the condition of spiritual understanding. Thus we feed on Him and drink into Him, as man, unto life everlasting life in Him. 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. 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. 13 Therefore they gathered them together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten. Such shall live. He wanted nothing; He came to give yea, the very best, so to speak, that God has. (Verses John 1:41-44), On the morrow Jesus begins, directly and indirectly, to call others to follow Himself. (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. 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. It is now eternal reality, and the name of Jesus Christ is that which puts all things to a final test. John 3:14-15; John 3:14-15) It is not a question simply of the Son of God, nor is He spoken of here as the Word made flesh. 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." The answer given by modern premillennial apologists usually suggests that premillennialism was overcome for illegitimate reasons. A second and wholly new man appears the bread of God, not of man, but for men. It is not merely a Messiah, who comes and offers Himself, as we find in other gospels, with most painstaking diligence, and presented to their responsibility; but here from the outset the question is viewed as closed. 14 Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth . And herein is that true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth. 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 . Clarke's Commentary. Proud member John 5:19-29), It is evident, then, that the Lord presents life in Himself as the true want of man, who was not merely infirm but dead. Deeper questions demanded solution. with a big assist from Olivia Beavers, Sarah Ferris and Marianne LeVine. The Word, God (and only begotten Son in the Father's bosom), He was eternally Son of God, too, as born into the world. Then He rebukes the carnality of His brethren. through "sin." So does his confession: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God: thou art the King of Israel. They could not deny Him to be man Son of man. It was much, yet was it little of the glory that was His; but at least it was real; and to the one that has shall be given. "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." The incarnate Word was here full of grace and truth. This is the truth; but the Jews had the law, and hated the truth. Truth and grace were not sought nor found in man, but began to subsist here below by Jesus Christ. Thus we have traced, first, hearts not only attracted to Him, but fresh souls called to follow Him; then, in type, the call of Israel by-and-by; finally, the disappearance of the sign of moral purifying for the joy of the new covenant, when Messiah's time comes to bless the needy earth; but along with this the execution of judgment in Jerusalem, and its long defiled temple. It was not the time now to demonstrate in public power these coming, yea, then present truths. 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. 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? 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 was worldliness in its worst shape, even to the point of turning the glory of Christ to a present account. Jesus is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, but withal, as he had said, the eternal One, yet in view of His manifestation to Israel (and, therefore, John was come baptizing with water a reason here given, but not to the Pharisees in verses 25-27). They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. thinking about a temporal kingdom, as the people, and might support such an army of men, and to succeed in the enterprise; (Verses John 4:20-30), The disciples marvelled that He spoke with the woman. Here was a meeting, indeed, between such an one and Him, the Son, true God and eternal life. The Son had not come to execute the judgments of the law they knew, nor even to promulgate a new and higher law. 12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 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. (Verses John 1:44-51). "But He said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of." The close of the chapter shows us the Lord in Galilee. (Verses John 5:17-18). Do any believe on His name? but. A death knell is the ringing of a church bell immediately after a death to announce it. The Jews wanted to force Christ to be a king like Saul, David or Solomon. This brings in the great counterpart truth, that even God present on earth and made flesh is not enough. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." There is difference of manner for the world and His own ignorance and rejection. Premillennialists believe that Revelation does imply this because Jesus is on the throne and Satan is bound. Death knell. Till then the Holy Ghost could not be so given only when Jesus was glorified, after redemption was a fact. Still the Lord refused the crown then: it was not the time or state for His reign. His glorious person would have none now in relation to God but members of the family. Salem Media Group. (Verses John 7:16-18) , The Jews kept not the law) and wished to kill Him who healed man in divine love. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? 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).
