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. and the two disciples leave John for Jesus. John 3:19; John 3:19) Other things, the merest trifles, may serve to indicate a man's condition; but a new responsibility is created by this infinite display of divine goodness in Christ, and the evidence is decisive and final, that the unbeliever is already judged before God. Such shall live. The answer given by modern premillennial apologists usually suggests that premillennialism was overcome for illegitimate reasons. A person (the bell ringer) would place a leather muffle over half of the bell's clapper. The first four chapters of John precede in point of time the notices of His ministry in the other gospels. (Ver. 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. Did they charge Jesus with self-exaltation? 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. He wanted nothing; He came to give yea, the very best, so to speak, that God has. It would not suit God, if it would suit man, that He, seeing all, should just pronounce on man's corruption, and then forthwith let him off with a bare pardon. The thrust of Lindsey's book is two-fold: First, it espouses the premillennial theory of Christ's second coming. Rev 20:7, 14 states death is thrown into into the lake of fire after the thousand year period. For if, on the one side, God has taken care to let us see already the glory of the Son, and the grace of which He was full, on the other side, all shines out the more marvellously when we know how He dealt with a woman of Samaria, sinful and degraded. Expressly had He told the man to take up his couch and walk, as well as to rise. 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. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 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. It passes over all question of dispensations, until it accomplishes, in all its extent, that purpose for which He thus died. 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. Second, it interprets present world political trends as signs of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. As a present fact, the Lord justifies the judicial act before their eyes by His relationship with God as His Father, and gives the Jews a sign in the temple of His body, as the witness of His resurrection power. Nor was it from any indistinctness in the record, or in him who gave it. There was sentence of death pronounced on their system, and they felt accordingly. The Lord and the disciples are next seen in the country district, not far, it would seem, from John, who was baptizing as they were. 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. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. We'll send you an email with steps on how to reset your password. When Jesus therefore perceived The healing of the courtier's son, sick and ready to die, is witness of what the Lord was actually doing among the despised of Israel. "He that hath received his testimony hath set to his seal that God is true. (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. So only is man born of God. Deeper questions demanded solution. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? It was not the time now to demonstrate in public power these coming, yea, then present truths. 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. 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. "Come, see a man that told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?" It is thus strikingly an anticipation of the result in glory. When Jesus therefore perceived. He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. All this clearly goes down to millennial days. And such was Jesus. Accordingly, if the law raised the question of righteousness in man, the cross of the Lord Jesus, typifying Him made sin, is the answer; and there has all been settled to the glory of God, the Lord Jesus having suffered all the inevitable consequences. "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water." But as many as received him, to them gave he power [rather, authority, right, or title] to become children of God." The Jan. 6 commission's death knell. California - Do Not Sell My Personal Information. Nay, "the world knew him not." Do they receive Him not? Premillennialism turns Jesus into a liar. The refusal of His precious blood will, on the contrary, make their case incomparably worse than that of the heathen who never heard the good news. 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 little they conceived of what was then said and done! Jesus Walks on the Sea. If He judges, it is not without full warning. 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). It was worldliness in its worst shape, even to the point of turning the glory of Christ to a present account. Fritzsche, p. 21). Do any believe on His name? 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. Of course it is the revelation of Christ; but here He was simply revealing the sources of this indispensable new birth. No man hath seen God at any time. 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. 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. Thus in one way or the other all must honour the Son. The addition of "unto him" detracts, to my mind, from the exceeding preciousness of what seems to be, at least, left open. Read full chapter. How withering the words! It is the revelation of God yea, of the Father and the Son, and not merely the detecter of man. (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? 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. And worship is viewed both in moral nature and in the joy of communion doubly. If His time was not yet come, their time was always ready. "Master, eat," said they. "He was in the world, and the world was made by him." When the crowd complains of hunger, the disciples who are mentioned each react in unique ways. From the very first, man, being a sinner, was wholly lost. Mark what, as such, He does declare Him. 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. 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. support such an army of men, and to succeed in the enterprise; But the erosion of Tradition began long ago, without their knowledge, as will be shown below. In vain did any come to the Baptist to report the widening circle around Christ. Beholding Him as He walked, he says, Behold the Lamb of God! 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. John 6:1-15 describes Jesus' feeding thousands of peoplethe fourth of the gospel of John's seven ''signs'' of Christ's divinity. contrary to all others, renders it, "Christ departed from the John 4:1-6; John 4:1-6) What a picture of rejection and humiliation! The Father seeks worshippers. THE WORLD'S GREATEST . The judgment, all of it, whether for quick or dead, is consigned to Him, because He is Son of man. Coming after John as to date, He is necessarily preferred before him in dignity; for He was ( ) [not come into being ( )] before Him. 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. No doubt Jesus Himself had the Holy Ghost given to Him, as it was meet that He in all things should have the pre-eminence; but it shows yet more both the personal glory of Christ and the efficacy of His work, that He now gives the same Spirit to those who receive His testimony, and set to their seal that God is true. (Verses John 7:16-18) , The Jews kept not the law) and wished to kill Him who healed man in divine love. Because John declares that the one who does not believe in God's testimony is calling God "a liar." This is crucial to see. Nor could any question be more momentous. The word "premillennial" itself is derived of two components-"pre" signifies before, and "millennium" denotes a period of one thousand years. Details are not called for now, but just the outline of the truth. It was impossible that there should not be righteous dealing with human evil against God, in its sources and its streams. (John 12:48). It is now eternal reality, and the name of Jesus Christ is that which puts all things to a final test. and the more manifest from His lips to one who was a real impersonation of sin, misery, blindness, degradation. For as the Father hath life in himself, so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. 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). (Verses John 7:19-23) What judgment could be less righteous? to deliver the nation from the Roman yoke, and set up a temporal 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. 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. The Son had not come to execute the judgments of the law they knew, nor even to promulgate a new and higher law. The resurrection of the Lord is not more truly a demonstration of His power and glory, than the only deliverance for disciples from the thraldom of Jewish influence. king; Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. Nor was it yet complete. 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. All others prove not only that they are bad, but that they hate perfect goodness, and more than that, life and light the true light in the Word. Further, it is connected intimately with the evidence of man's ruin by sin. As mentioned in the Introduction Section, premillennialism was the prevailing view of the Early Church for about the first three centuries, There are three kinds of fundamentals: 1) Doctrinal fundamentals (e.g., the Trinity, Deity of Christ, Sacrificial Atonement, and Resurrection). The distinctiveness of such a testimony to the Saviour's glory need hardly be pointed out. 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. They had no common thoughts, feelings, or ways with the Father and the Son. Then a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased. 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. His glorious person would have none now in relation to God but members of the family. John was not yet cast into prison. 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. The issue of all is, that the will of man is the real cause and spring of enmity. John 6:15 Context. 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. 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. Nathanael's call is just as clearly typical of Israel in the latter day. (Verse John 3:16), Let it not be passed by, that while the new birth or regeneration is declared to be essential to a part in the kingdom of God, the Lord in urging this intimates that He had not gone beyond the earthly things of that kingdom. (Ver. I will answer this question on why I am a Historic Premillennialist in 5 Parts: 1. John 7:6-8) They belonged to the world. And in this He is sovereign. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." Man, dead in sins, was the object of His grace; but then man's state was such, that it would have been derogatory to God had that life been communicated without the cross of Christ: the Son of man lifted up on it was the One in whom God dealt judicially with the evil estate of man, for the, full consequences of which He made Himself responsible. 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. But He, being God, was manifesting and, on the contrary, maintaining the divine glory here below. 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. It is no question here of every man, but of such as believe. 15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself. It was sabbath-day. (ver. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." that they had "determined", as the Arabic version renders it; or Under all changes, outwardly, He abode as from eternity the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. (Ver. Grace begins, glory descends; "Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink." 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). 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. He reminds them of his previous disclaimer of any place beyond one sent before Jesus. Nothing is said about the fan in His hand; nothing of His burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. "No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. This He does in verses 16-19. In the five porches, then, of this pool lay a great multitude of sick, blind, lame, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. He had no need that any should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. The Father did not judge, but committed all judgment into the hands of the Son, because He is the Son of man. What a witness all this to His person! mountain alone". 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. (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? it may be chiefly, that he prayed that God would open the minds Resurrection will be the proof; the two-fold rising of the dead, not one, but two resurrections. They knew what they worshipped, but not the Father, nor were they "true." 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. Christ did not wait till the time was fully come for the old things to pass away, and all to be made new. And He did accept that place thoroughly, and in all its consequences. "John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This is he of whom I spake: He that cometh after me is preferred before me, for he was before me." Still, such is the effect on man under law, that he could not take advantage of an adequate remedy. On this basisJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 proceeds. All rights reserved. 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. The Lord, in the latter part of the chapter (verses John 6:27-58), contrasts the presentation of the truth of God in His person and work with all that pertained to the promises of Messiah. 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? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." John 5. The Jews, with all their privileges, were strangers here. 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., No charge could be remoter from the truth. It is not denunciation, but the most solemn sentence in the calmest manner. (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. Here (John 5:1-47) the first view given of Christ is His person in contrast with the law. 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. 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. (VersesJohn 5:8-12; John 5:8-12), But were the Jews mistaken after all in thinking that the seal of the first covenant was virtually broken in that deliberate word and warranty of Jesus? How was this? The person of the Son was there the object of divine and overflowing joy even then, although, of course, in the full sense of the word, the Holy Ghost might not be given to be the power of it for some time later; but still the object of worship was there revealing the Father; butJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 supposes Him to be gone up to heaven, before He from heaven communicates the Holy Ghost, who should be (not here, as Israel had a rock with water to drink of in the wilderness outside themselves, nor even as a fountain springing up within the believer, but) as rivers flowing out. There is but one unfailing test the Son of God God's testimony to Him. Both of them were in relation to man on the earth; the one while He was here, the other from above. This is grace and truth. 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. John 6:15 in all English translations. Still the Lord refused the crown then: it was not the time or state for His reign. It was not intended for other beings it was God's free gift to man, to the believer, of course. (VersesJohn 7:33-36; John 7:33-36) Jesus was returning to Him that sent Him, and the Holy Ghost would be given. (Verses John 7:40-53). Nothing in the slightest degree detracted from His own personal glory, and from the infinitely near relationship which He had had with the Father from all eternity. 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. Heavenly things, therefore, could not but be natural to Him, if one may so say. 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. (Ver. (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. Here, in suited circumstances to render the thought and way of God unmistakable, pure and boundless grace takes its own sovereign course, suitable to the love and personal glory of Christ. He is ever God; He is the Son; He quickens and raises from the dead. This we have had fully before. 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. 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. He will have all honour the Son, even as Himself. 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. 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. He that comes from above from heaven is above all. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." 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. "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." by this miracle, they could not doubt of his being able to His death on the cross included much more, clearly answering to the first; His baptizing with the Holy Ghost followed His going to heaven. The close of the chapter shows us the Lord in Galilee. Then said they unto him, Who art thou? These are a test of evangelical authenticity. For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him." through "sin." 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. to let them know, that those who sought only for a temporal Of this we learn nothing, here. There is no other way in which the new nature is made good in a soul. 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. There is no changing or bettering the old man; and, thanks be to God, the new does not degenerate or pass away. Nothing less than everlasting life in Christ can deliver: otherwise there remains judgment. It becomes a question of man's own condition, and how he stands in relation to the kingdom of God. The brethren of the Lord Jesus, who could see the astonishing power that was in Him, but whose hearts were carnal, at once discerned that it might be an uncommon good thing for them, as well as for Him, in this world. What more glorious proof than that the Holy Ghost is given not a certain defined power or gift, but the Holy Ghost Himself; for God gives not the Spirit by measure! John 7. (Ed. Law, means, ordinances, could not meet the need no pool, nor angel nothing but the Son working in grace, the Son quickening. A more recent production, advocating the same general theory, is the fictional Left Behindseries. The Spirit of God uses that word; it is thus invariably in conversion. John 1:11-12; John 1:11-12) It was not a question now of Jehovah and His servants. of 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. 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. 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. Persic versions leave out the word "again"; and the latter, But it is important we should know how He entered the world. Clarke's Commentary. The Father and the Son were at work. This is the more striking, because, as we have seen, the world and Israel, rejecting Him, are also themselves, as such, rejected from the first. Further, John attests that he saw the Spirit descending like a dove, and abiding on Him the appointed token that He it is who baptizes with the Holy Ghost even the Son of God. "had it in their mind", as the Persic; to gather about him as one This brings in the great counterpart truth, that even God present on earth and made flesh is not enough. 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. kingdom, in which they might hope for great secular advantages: Thus former things pass away; the old man is judged, dead, and clean gone.
