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.

PRESENT_____ FUTURE_____ . not the Jews only; for, as far as intelligence went, it was little better with the disciples till He rose from the dead. John chapter 5. , , . Christ was the true sanctuary, not that on which man had laboured so long in Jerusalem. What is there in God more truly divine than grace and truth? And worship is viewed both in moral nature and in the joy of communion doubly. Nevertheless, Christ did come to His own things, His proper, peculiar possession; for there were special relationships. It becomes a question of man's own condition, and how he stands in relation to the kingdom of God. Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. First, we must worship, if at all, in spirit and in truth. They spoke of the world; the world might hear them. "Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water." Heavenly things, therefore, could not but be natural to Him, if one may so say. Such shall live. Nothing is said about the fan in His hand; nothing of His burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. and the more manifest from His lips to one who was a real impersonation of sin, misery, blindness, degradation. 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. 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. C. Encouraging someone else to assume the leadership role in the group. But how precious the grace, in presence of their hatred and proud self-complacency! The truth is, the design of manifesting His glory governs all; place or people was a matter of no consequence. Such are the grand emphatic points to which the Lord leads. (Verses John 1:44-51). "He came unto his own [things], and his own [people] received him not. John 1:11-12; John 1:11-12) It was not a question now of Jehovah and His servants. Such is God's vindication of His outraged rights; and the judgment will be proportionate to the glory that has been set at nought. Hence, then, we have the Lord Jesus alluding to this fresh necessity, if man was to be blessed according to God. 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. He could, therefore, tell them of heavenly things as readily as of earthly things; but the incredulity about the latter, shown in the wondering ignorance of the new birth as a requisite for God's kingdom, proved it was useless to tell of the former. "Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life." - John 5:24 Hearing His Word Jesus said, "Whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life," so we must hear what Jesus says to us, but more importantly, we must do what He says (Matt 25:40). This is the truth; but the Jews had the law, and hated the truth. He cannot make himself new, or create new life in himself. 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. 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. John 11:43-44). The first four chapters of John precede in point of time the notices of His ministry in the other gospels. (Ver. The Puritans in New England endured the chilliest winters of the time in the period of 1680 to 1730 according to the weather records from Mckaila (2014). None else could do either work: for here we see His great work on earth, and His heavenly power. There is no other way in which the new nature is made good in a soul. Her life is laid before her by His voice, and she confesses to Him that God Himself spoke to her in His words: "Sir [said she], I perceive that thou art a prophet." Nor was it yet complete. Of course it is the revelation of Christ; but here He was simply revealing the sources of this indispensable new birth. God's Word provides assurance for our everyday lives And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. It was an extraordinary birth; of God, not man in any sort, or measure, but a new and divine nature (2 Peter 1:1-21) imparted to the believer wholly of grace. In his most famous and controversial experiment, known today as the "Little Albert" experiment, John Watson and a graduate assistant named Rosalie Rayner conditioned a small child to fear a white rat. Nay, therefore it was they, reasoning, denied Him to be God. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." Pia Sr. (John 5:24 KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Jesus explains: "My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. On the third day is the marriage in Cana of Galilee, where was His mother, Jesus also, and His disciples. (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk." The distinctiveness of such a testimony to the Saviour's glory need hardly be pointed out. From the very first, man, being a sinner, was wholly lost. (Verses John 4:20-30), The disciples marvelled that He spoke with the woman. Nobody had gone up to heaven: God had taken more than one; but no one had gone there as of right. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." (Verse John 1:9) The world therefore surely ought to have known its Maker. Here the unlimited scene is in view; not Israel, but the world. (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. He wanted nothing; He came to give yea, the very best, so to speak, that God has. (Ver. For the Christian eternal life begins upon belief in him who sent Jesus. It is not only the nature, but the model and fulness of the blessing in the Son, who declared the Father. Mark what, as such, He does declare Him. For example, one young. It was not that they were better than their neighbours. We have seen already that thus light was shed on men. Here was a meeting, indeed, between such an one and Him, the Son, true God and eternal life. If I believe that God can't or won't do a certain thing, then it usually follows that God doesn't. He was just stating what the Philippian jailer would hear: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you willbe saved." "For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved." (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. Jesus finally summed up this important teaching that spelt out the clear message of His eternal deity before saying: "Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My Word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life. 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: 23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. 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. (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. 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 that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. However, this great gift of salvation is conditional. What Jesus said in essence is that some of you have been given ears that can continually hear. His earthly rights are just where they should be; but not here, where the only-begotten Son who is in the bosom of the Father has His appropriate place. "Come, see a man that told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" But they learn that it was his divine Physician who had not only healed, but so directed him. All is in the character of the Son of man. Praying "according to the will of God" in 1 John 5:14-15, I believe, is praying according to God's intended action, which could be either his moral will (category #2) or his permissive will (category #3). For John abiding in Christ involves love for one another, as in John 15:9-17, and John 5:24. 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. The existence of divine love in believers, then facilitates the influence of the gospel on the world, and . So does his confession: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God: thou art the King of Israel. Bible > John > Chapter 5 > Verse 24 John 5:24 Context Crossref Comment Greek Verse (Click for Chapter) New International Version 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. 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). But either or both categories #2 or #3 could play a part in what it means to pray according to God's will. God heard his Son in his time of crisis, but he didn't let the cup pass. 42). To see Jesus is to see His Father (John 14:9). A. "And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. Details are not called for now, but just the outline of the truth. 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. Nor was it from any indistinctness in the record, or in him who gave it. Nay, the Father has given all judgment to the Son. No man hath seen God at any time. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." But Jesus finds him in the temple, and said, "Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee." "He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. The character is wholly different from the position and glory of Messiah in Israel, according to promise and prophecy. Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. 29) on which, as it were, Jesus speaks and acts in His grace as here shown on the earth. #3 him who sent me Whoever believes Jesuss Word believes God, who gave his one and only Son (Jn 3:16). 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.
