But how precious the grace, in presence of their hatred and proud self-complacency! (Ver. When Jesus therefore perceived (1-4) A crowd gathers to Jesus near the Sea of Galilee. Verse 15. When Jesus therefore perceived. 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"). The one, like the other, contributes to this great end, whether the Son of man necessarily lifted up, or the only begotten Son of God given in His love. Under all changes, outwardly, He abode as from eternity the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. 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. John 1:19-37; John 1:19-37) It is here presented historically. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." The issue of all is, that the will of man is the real cause and spring of enmity. The first four chapters of John precede in point of time the notices of His ministry in the other gospels. The incarnate Word was here full of grace and truth. John 6:16. If His time was not yet come, their time was always ready. After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 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. 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. None else could do either work: for here we see His great work on earth, and His heavenly power. Deeper questions demanded solution. (Ver. Observe: not which was, but "which is." Let them learn, then, that as Son of man (for which nature they despised Him, and denied His essential personal glory) He will judge; and this judgment will be no passing visitation, such as God has accomplished by angels or men in times past. Meanwhile, for Christian worship, the hour was coming and in principle come, because He was there; and He who vindicated salvation as of the Jews, proves that it is now for Samaritans, or any who believed on account of His word. 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. Resurrection will be the proof; the two-fold rising of the dead, not one, but two resurrections. This is the truth; but the Jews had the law, and hated the truth. Now it is that the great question is decided; now it is that a man receives or refuses Christ. (VersesJohn 6:1-21; John 6:1-21). (Verse John 3:10). "For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved." to let them know, that those who sought only for a temporal He saw him under the fig tree. One must be born again for God's kingdom a Jew for what was promised him, like another. Indeed, it is the total eclipse, not merely of law and remedial mercies, but even of promised Messianic glory, by everlasting life and resurrection at the last day. 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. Such is God's vindication of His outraged rights; and the judgment will be proportionate to the glory that has been set at nought. The Son had not come to execute the judgments of the law they knew, nor even to promulgate a new and higher law. 42). support such an army of men, and to succeed in the enterprise; 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. It becomes a question of man's own condition, and how he stands in relation to the kingdom of God. (Verse John 7:39), Nothing can be simpler than this. None the less did the result of His death proclaim His Deity. There is the need of another nature, and the only way in which this nature is communicated is by being born of water and the Spirit the employment of the word of God in the quickening energy of the Holy Ghost. he left the company directly, upon this resolution of theirs, and (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. that his kingdom was not of this world; to teach his followers to So does his confession: Rabbi, thou art the Son of God: thou art the King of Israel. It was but preliminary, of course; still it was a deep reality, the then present grace in the person of the Son, the Saviour of the world, who filled their once dark hearts with light and joy. 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. 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. Accordingly there is a four-fold testimony to Jesus: the testimony of John the Baptist; the Lord's own works; the voice of the Father from heaven; and finally, the written word which the Jews had in their own hands. even took not his disciples with him, who were in the same way of Here the unlimited scene is in view; not Israel, but the world. "The law was given by Moses." Mark what, as such, He does declare Him. Their purpose was to make Him king. Nor was it yet complete. Details are not called for now, but just the outline of the truth. John 6:15 in all English translations. It is not John's business here to call attention to His Messiahship, not even when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem to ask, Who art thou? 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. Was this false and blasphemous in their eyes? He could have healed the man without the smallest outward act to shock their zeal for the law. (Verses John 1:41-44), On the morrow Jesus begins, directly and indirectly, to call others to follow Himself. 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. mountain alone". Ringing of the death bells is done slowly and reverently. 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. Still, such is the effect on man under law, that he could not take advantage of an adequate remedy. Not only man under law has no health, but he has no strength to avail himself of the blessing that God holds out. 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). In the beginning of the chapter it was rather an essential indispensable action of the Holy Ghost required; here it is the privilege of the Holy Ghost given. 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. kingdom, in which they might hope for great secular advantages: (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. Read full chapter. This language is said of both, but most strongly of the latter. (Verses John 4:20-30), The disciples marvelled that He spoke with the woman. How striking the omission! This Blog is really a continuation of my Previous Blog "Why Israel Has a Future in God's Plans - Romans 9-11 and the People of God" By Michael J. Vlach, Ph.D. They had no common thoughts, feelings, or ways with the Father and the Son. The answer given by modern premillennial apologists usually suggests that premillennialism was overcome for illegitimate reasons. He who owns the reality of Christ's incarnation, receives most thankfully and adoringly from God the truth of redemption; he, on the contrary, who stumbles at redemption, has not really taken in the incarnation according to God's mind. This was necessary for the kingdom of God; not for some special place of glory, but for any and every part of God's kingdom. 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. 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. Death knell. For this, therefore, the Jews sought the more to kill Him; because He added the greater offence of making Himself equal with God, by saying that God was His own Father. John 6:15King James Version. Jesus saw the man, and knowing that he was long thus, prompts the desire of healing, but brings out the despondency of unbelief. Without it there is no divine understanding of Christ, or of His word, or of Scripture. John 7:6-8) They belonged to the world. 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. This is indispensable; for God is a Spirit, and so it cannot but be. The addition of "unto him" detracts, to my mind, from the exceeding preciousness of what seems to be, at least, left open. 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. 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. (Verses John 7:40-53). 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. "No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. Also one of the two thus drawn to Him first finds his own brother Simon (with the words, We have found the Messiah), and led him to Jesus, who forthwith gave him his new name in terms which surveyed, with equal ease and certainty, past, present, and future. Do they receive Him not? 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. How, indeed, could it be stayed within narrow limits? So on the last day, that great day of the feast (the eighth day, which witnessed of a resurrection glory outside this creation, now to be made good in the power of the Spirit before anything appears to sight), the Lord stands and cries, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." When the crowd complains of hunger, the disciples who are mentioned each react in unique ways. His was an errand incomparably deeper, more worthy of God, and suitable to One "full of grace and truth." King James Version (KJV) encourage them in this undertaking: the mountain Christ went "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." Verse John 6:15. Beholding Him as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God! 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. Please enter your email address associated with your Salem All-Pass account, then click Continue. It is not that He denies the truth of what they were thus desiring and attached to. (ver. They could not deny Him to be man Son of man. This is the marked effect on the third day (ver. 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. Expressly had He told the man to take up his couch and walk, as well as to rise. 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." The truth is, the design of manifesting His glory governs all; place or people was a matter of no consequence. 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." He that comes from above from heaven is above all. Flesh and world are judged morally. Other names for premillennialists are millenarians and chiliaststaken from the Greek word for thousand (Torrey 1913:145). No charge could be remoter from the truth. Art thou Elias? "had it in their mind", as the Persic; to gather about him as one Thus it is a kind of transitional fact for a most important part of our gospel, though still introductory. They knew what they worshipped, but not the Father, nor were they "true." Read full chapter John 6:15 in all English translations John 5 John 7 New International Version (NIV) Holy Bible, New International Version, NIV Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc. Used by permission. It is the final setting aside of Judaism then, whose characteristic hope was the display of power and rest in the world. 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. This movement was not an unnatural one. What is there in God more truly divine than grace and truth? Here the Lord introduces the cross. But it is important we should know how He entered the world. The dreadful truth comes out: the Lord did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men. But as many as received him, to them gave he power [rather, authority, right, or title] to become children of God." The Son gives life, as the Father does; and not merely to whom the Father will, but to whom He will. 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. What a witness all this to His person! And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. Life out of death was wanted by man, such as he is; and this the Father is giving in the Son. A more recent production, advocating the same general theory, is the fictional Left Behindseries. He bows to, as he explains, the sovereign will of God. The result immediately follows. It was not the time now to demonstrate in public power these coming, yea, then present truths. The Word, in order to accomplish these infinite things, "was made. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. God never left Himself without witness; He did not even among the Gentiles, surely yet less in Israel. There are three kinds of fundamentals: 1) Doctrinal fundamentals (e.g., the Trinity, Deity of Christ, Sacrificial Atonement, and Resurrection). 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 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. 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. Such are the grand emphatic points to which the Lord leads. Here was One on earth who knew all secrets. (Ver. His aspect as thus tabernacling among the disciples was "full of grace and truth." 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. If He put forth His power, it was not only beyond man's measure, but unequivocally divine, however also the humblest and most dependent of men. 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. Grace begins, glory descends; "Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink." Law, means, ordinances, could not meet the need no pool, nor angel nothing but the Son working in grace, the Son quickening. not the Jews only; for, as far as intelligence went, it was little better with the disciples till He rose from the dead. This we have had fully before. 1. Nobody had gone up to heaven: God had taken more than one; but no one had gone there as of right. 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." Jesus Walks on the Sea. Nay, therefore it was they, reasoning, denied Him to be God. reasons of his departure, were to prevent the attempt; to show Persic versions leave out the word "again"; and the latter, Did the dead (for so men are treated, not as alive under law) did they hear the voice of the Son of God? convinced of their mistaken notions of him as a temporal prince: 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. (Ver. 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. 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. How little they conceived of what was then said and done! In the five porches, then, of this pool lay a great multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 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. Premillennialism turns Jesus into a failure. This is why premillennial-ism is based on a kind of hermeneutical fundamental of the Christian Faith. Take him by force, to make him a king The Jews had often suffered by famine in those times in which their enemies were permitted to prevail over them; but, finding that Jesus had such power as to multiply a few loaves to feed thousands, they took it for granted that while he was at their head no evil could possibly happen to them, and therefore were . Rev 20:7, 14 states death is thrown into into the lake of fire after the thousand year period. he would not. (Ver. 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. 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. with a big assist from Olivia Beavers, Sarah Ferris and Marianne LeVine. their words and gestures: that they would come and take him by force, and make him a As the Lamb of God (of the Father it is not said), He has to do with the world. Of course it is the revelation of Christ; but here He was simply revealing the sources of this indispensable new birth. But the Spirit would not confine His operations to such bounds, but go out freely like the wind. Thus, in His person, as well as in His work, they joined issue. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." Then said they unto him, Who art thou? 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. A death knell is the ringing of a church bell immediately after a death to announce it. Till then the Holy Ghost could not be so given only when Jesus was glorified, after redemption was a fact. Whosoever denieth the Son hath not the Father; he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. Here, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." All is fitly closed by the declaration, that "the Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." "He was in the world, and the world was made by him." Art thou that prophet? 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 best text omits other expressions, evidently derived from verses John 1:15; John 1:30John 1:30. Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. (Verse John 1:9) The world therefore surely ought to have known its Maker. Without sign, prodigy, or miracle, in this village of Samaria Jesus was heard, known, confessed as truly the Saviour of the world ("the Christ" being absent in the best authorities, ver. 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. For them, Israel, or the world, all is over. 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. Verse John 1:29 opens John's testimony to his disciples. And such was Jesus. (Ver. 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. , , . Then (ver. They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. But they learn that it was his divine Physician who had not only healed, but so directed him. Rest is not the question now at all; but the flow of the Spirit's power while Jesus is on high. 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. Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be. There is no other way in which the new nature is made good in a soul. 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. Nay, the Father has given all judgment to the Son. Neither does the Spirit say exactly as the English Bible says "sons," but children. No doubt there are intervening applications; but such is the ultimate result of His work as the Lamb of God. No mere man, nor angel, not the highest, the archangel, but the Son. Here again, apart from this divine insight, the change or gift of the name marks His glory. thinking about a temporal kingdom, as the people, and might Premillennialists believe that Revelation does imply this because Jesus is on the throne and Satan is bound. How were they not enjoyed in despised Samaria those two days with the Son of God among them! 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. California - Do Not Sell My Personal Information. Notably He is now applying it to the reconciliation of a people, who are also baptized by the Holy Ghost into one body. The allusion to the fig-tree confirms this. After this we have, suitably to this gospel, John's connection with the Lord Jesus. Blessed servant he of an infinitely blessed and blessing Master! 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. 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. 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. (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. forsake the honours and riches of this world, for his sake; and The distinctiveness of such a testimony to the Saviour's glory need hardly be pointed out. There is the nicest care to maintain His personal glory, no matter what the subject may be. If a man looks at the Lord Jesus as One who entered the world in a general way, and calls this the incarnation, he will surely stumble over the cross. In short, the riches of God's grace are here according to the glory of the Son, and in the power of the Holy Ghost. 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. (Ver. Thus we all not only receive of His fulness, (and what fulness illimitable was there not in Him!) Catalogue entry. However, we know that Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Father shortly after His resurrection and ascension (Hebrews 8:1; Revelation 4:2). Read full chapter. Before the manner of His manifestation comes before us in verse 14, we have the secret explained why some, and not all, received Christ. John 1:17; John 1:17) The law, thus given, was in itself no giver, but an exacter; Jesus, full of grace and truth, gave, instead of requiring or receiving; and He Himself has said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. 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! 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. . THE WORLD'S GREATEST . Nor was it from any indistinctness in the record, or in him who gave it. The thrust of Lindsey's book is two-fold: First, it espouses the premillennial theory of Christ's second coming. The results for the believer or unbeliever are eternal in good or in evil. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
