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). From then, a Christian who preached the name of Jesus was being spoken through by Jesus himself, by his Spirit. The implications of this are staggering. The differences between moving through life in an eternal process of death, and living through life in an eternal process of coming alive are deeper than can actually be comprehended this side of heaven. 24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that . Thus, as in the former case the Lord's dealing in Galilee was a type of the future, this appears to be significant of His then present path of grace in that despised quarter of the land.

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. (Verses John 7:19-23) What judgment could be less righteous? The same picture, intensified to be sure, is sketched in John 20:24-29. The hearing has ended. We have had his name introduced into each part of the preface of our evangelist. Thus we feed on Him and drink into Him, as man, unto life everlasting life in Him. "No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. (VerseJohn 4:1; John 4:1) It was strange to her that a Jew should thus humble himself: what would it have been, had she seen in Him Jesus the Son of God? How striking the omission! Jesus is announcing His role as the One Who reverses the judgement passed on mankind [Adam & Eve] in the Garden of Eden. 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. 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. 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. I. What can be more evident, or more instructive? (Verses John 3:1-6), But the Lord goes farther, and bids Nicodemus not wonder at His insisting on this need. 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. John 5:24 New International Version 24 "Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 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. What I believe is very important. 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. There He supposes His full rejection and death. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. 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). Man is morally judged. This would make all manifest. God hearing and answering Jesus didn't mean salvation from the cross, but salvation through the cross. Try listening to 1 John 5:11-13 on a Bible app, or record it with your voice and listen. through "sin." One must be born again. If He judges, it is not without full warning. Here was a meeting, indeed, between such an one and Him, the Son, true God and eternal life. "Come, see a man that told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" 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. 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. His death on the cross included much more, clearly answering to the first; His baptizing with the Holy Ghost followed His going to heaven. From the very first, man, being a sinner, was wholly lost. 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. Number two means to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ as done and said in Acts 2:38 ( full body emmersion) the cleansing of. Jesus had just healed a man at the pool of Bethsaida, but He did this healing on the Sabbath. (Verses John 5:1-7), On the other hand, the Lord speaks but the word: "Rise, take up thy couch and walk." 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 was impossible that there should not be righteous dealing with human evil against God, in its sources and its streams. For the Christian eternal life begins upon belief in him who sent Jesus. Here the Lord introduces the cross. John gives us this point of contact with them, though in an incident peculiar to himself. 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. In truth, Christian baptism did not yet exist, but only such as the disciples used, like John the Baptist; it was not instituted of Christ till after His resurrection, as it sets forth His death. The character is wholly different from the position and glory of Messiah in Israel, according to promise and prophecy. 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. 21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. 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. So does his confession: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God: thou art the King of Israel. But the Spirit would not confine His operations to such bounds, but go out freely like the wind. 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. It is no question here of every man, but of such as believe. Of this we learn nothing, here. 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. Here again, apart from this divine insight, the change or gift of the name marks His glory. Nobody had gone up to heaven: God had taken more than one; but no one had gone there as of right. 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. With many Brazilians believing they just suffered their own 9/11 or January 6, all power centers know that the perfect time to seize new authoritarian powers and abridge core liberties is when the population is in a state . He will have all honour the Son, even as Himself. (Ver. 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.

He is viewed as retaining the same perfect intimacy with the Father, entirely unimpaired by local or any other circumstances He had entered. Thus solemnly does the meek Lord Jesus unfold these two truths. 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. (Verses John 1:44-51). 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. ", This response infuriated the Jews, for they knew thatJesus was making Himself equal with Almighty God. If His time was not yet come, their time was always ready. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." 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. Isaiah 44:3; Isaiah 44:3, Isaiah 59:21, Ezekiel 36:25-27 ought to have made the Lord's meaning plain to an intelligent Jew.

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. infinite truth! Still the eternal day alone will show out the full virtue of that which belongs to Jesus as the Lamb of God, who takes away the world's sin. The Light, on coming into the world, lightens every man with the fulness of evidence which was in Him, and at once discovers the true state as truly as it will be revealed in the last day when He judges all, as we find it intimated in the gospel afterwards. No charge could be remoter from the truth. He was God. He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. 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. He entered this world, became flesh, as born of woman; but there was no diminution of His own glory, when He, born of the virgin, walked on earth, or when rejected of man, cut off as Messiah, He was forsaken of God for sin our sin on the cross. For example, I'll believe that there are only a few hours in a day instead of 24; or that 2:00 is the only hour, and that once the clock hits 2:59 it will just go straight back to 2:00 again.

(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. 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. Coming after John as to date, He is necessarily preferred before him in dignity; for He was ( ) [not come into being ( )] before Him. (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? 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). 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. All of the above. Hence it is that here the Son, according to the grace of God the Father, gives the Holy Ghost eternal life in the power of the Spirit. #1 Very truly, Jesus underlines a point by beginning with very truly. Everything he says is true. 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.

But He, being God, was manifesting and, on the contrary, maintaining the divine glory here below. . As a weapon of conviction, most justly had it in the mind of the Lord Jesus the weightiest place, little as man thinks now-a-days of it. (John 12:48). Astonishingly, it is not that they will pass from death to life, but that they have already. 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. (Verses John 5:13-16), A graver issue, however, was to be tried; for Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. When the man that had been healed obeyed Christ's instruction and picked up his bed to carry it home, it was construed as work, and they accused Jesus of violating their laws. The law works no deliverance; it puts a man in chains, prison, darkness, and under condemnation; it renders him a patient, or a criminal incompetent to avail himself of the displays of God's goodness. He acts as such. But either or both categories #2 or #3 could play a part in what it means to pray according to God's will. The result immediately follows.

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. 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 it is not only the person of our Lord viewed as divine, and coming down into the world. He must be born of God. . In the Word was life, and the life was the light of men. How, indeed, could it be stayed within narrow limits? Is It Ok for Christians to Follow Zodiac Signs? 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. "For God," He says, "so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." Judgment has been given on Christ on the cross, so the believer will face no judgment for his or her sins. John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life. John 4:1-54 presents the Lord Jesus outside Jerusalem outside the people of promise among Samaritans, with whom Jews had no intercourse.
