Fritzsche, p. 21). (Verses John 1:44-51). All is in the character of the Son of man. 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. Such was Jesus in person, contrasted with all who belong to the earth. "For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved." For them, Israel, or the world, all is over. If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? "But He said to them, I have meat to eat that ye know not of." It was not the time now to demonstrate in public power these coming, yea, then present truths. 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 . Of course it is the revelation of Christ; but here He was simply revealing the sources of this indispensable new birth. He could have healed the man without the smallest outward act to shock their zeal for the law. This language is said of both, but most strongly of the latter. It is His person as incarnate first, then in redemption giving His flesh to be eaten and His blood to be drank. This is the truth; but the Jews had the law, and hated the truth. A person (the bell ringer) would place a leather muffle over half of the bell's clapper. 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. 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. We have now the Word made flesh, called Jesus Christ this person, this complex person, that was manifest in the world; and it is He that brought it all in. 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. 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? Ringing of the death bells is done slowly and reverently. No man hath seen God at any time. Presented by. (Ver. His aspect as thus tabernacling among the disciples was "full of grace and truth." On this basisJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 proceeds. 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. , , . They were on the way to Jerusalem, and they were thirsting to throw off the yoke of Rome and of . 64). This testimony differs from the rest in having a more permanent character. 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. Verse John 1:29 opens John's testimony to his disciples. What sayest thou of thyself? How little they conceived of what was then said and done! John 6:15. How singularly is the glory of the Lord Jesus thus viewed, as invested with the testimony of God and its crown! He that comes from above from heaven is above all. From the very first, man, being a sinner, was wholly lost. And herein is that true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth. alone; Observe, that blessed as the light is, being God's moral nature, truth is more than this, and is introduced by grace. 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. King James Version (KJV) Of course they are just as truly inspired as John's; but for that very reason they were not inspired to give the same testimony. In these two points of view, more particularly, John gives testimony to Christ; He is the lamb as the taker away of the world's sin; the same is He who baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." How were they not enjoyed in despised Samaria those two days with the Son of God among them! Further, it is connected intimately with the evidence of man's ruin by sin. contrary to all others, renders it, "Christ departed from the (Ver. A death knell is the ringing of a church bell immediately after a death to announce it. But it is important we should know how He entered the world. (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? This brings in the great counterpart truth, that even God present on earth and made flesh is not enough. This is the only miracle recorded in all four of the gospel accounts. Nicodemus, not understanding in the least such a want for himself, expresses his wonder, and hears our Lord increasing in the strength of the requirement. The Lord Jesus did, without question, take humanity in His person into that glory which He so well knew as the Son of the Father. 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. Here the Lord introduces the cross. Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be. 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. 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. This we have had fully before. of And they asked him, What then? He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Nor would the rejected Christ, the Son of man; for if lifted up on the cross, instead of having the throne of David, the result would be not merely earthly blessing for His people according to prophecy, but eternal life for the believer, whoever. For the Father loveth the Son, and showeth him all things that himself doeth: and he will show him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. 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. for he knew He was the Christ. 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. 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. 4. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. (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. This only secures His honour in those that believe God's testimony to Him, the Son of God; and to these He gives life, everlasting life now, and exemption from judgment, in this acting in communion with the Father. their words and gestures: that they would come and take him by force, and make him a 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. 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. 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 is ever God; He is the Son; He quickens and raises from the dead. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? 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). "He must, increase, but I decrease." * The best text omits other expressions, evidently derived from verses John 1:15; John 1:30John 1:30. and proclaim him the King Messiah; place him at the head of them, that we may give an answer to them that sent us. How could either light or love rest in a scene of sin, darkness, and misery? "No man hath seen God at any time: the only-begotten Son," etc. A second and wholly new man appears the bread of God, not of man, but for men. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." of these men, and particularly the disciples; that they might be The thrust of Lindsey's book is two-fold: First, it espouses the premillennial theory of Christ's second coming. 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. The Jan. 6 commission's death knell. The Father did not judge, but committed all judgment into the hands of the Son, because He is the Son of man. 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." Persic versions leave out the word "again"; and the latter, 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. Remark, too, the extent of the work involved in verse 29. It was sabbath-day. The dreadful truth comes out: the Lord did not trust Himself to them, because He knew all men. 12 When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. 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. (Ver. (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. But see the blessed fruit of receiving it. kingdom, in which they might hope for great secular advantages: (Verses John 7:16-18) , The Jews kept not the law) and wished to kill Him who healed man in divine love. Each had his own; all are harmonious, all perfect, all divine; but not all so many repetitions of the same thing. And Jesus answers, "I that speak unto thee am he." He saw him under the fig tree. 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. reasons of his departure, were to prevent the attempt; to show This He does in verses 16-19. His exaltation there is not without notice in the gospel, but exceptionally. not the Jews only; for, as far as intelligence went, it was little better with the disciples till He rose from the dead. , And this very circumstance is perhaps the cause, that nowhere do we read that Jesus, whilst He teas sojourning on the earth, entered, even though that town was very close to Jerusalem. I will answer this question on why I am a Historic Premillennialist in 5 Parts: 1. 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. Here was One on earth who knew all secrets. John 6:15. (ver. (Ver. The Jews, with all their privileges, were strangers here. It seemed natural: He had fed the poor with bread, and why should not He take His place on the throne? And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." (1-4) A crowd gathers to Jesus near the Sea of Galilee. "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." Now it is that the great question is decided; now it is that a man receives or refuses Christ. 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. 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. The looking for signs and wonders is rebuked; but mortality is arrested. There is no changing or bettering the old man; and, thanks be to God, the new does not degenerate or pass away. 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." 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. It is not denunciation, but the most solemn sentence in the calmest manner. Read full chapter. Jesus Walks on the Sea. Art thou Elias? Man was judged: another Man was there, the Lord from heaven, soon to stand in resurrection. 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. The hour was one for faith, or unbelief. And in this He is sovereign. he would not. All this clearly goes down to millennial days. John then declared his own waning before Christ, as we have seen, the issues of whose testimony, believed or not, are eternal; and this founded on the revelation of His glorious person as man and to man here below. 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. Under all changes, outwardly, He abode as from eternity the only-begotten Son in the bosom of the Father. No doubt He must become a man, in order, amongst other reasons, to be a sufferer, and to die. It was not so. Why this is so hard for Traditionalists to comprehend is baffling; all they need to do is to follow TRADITION. The man went off, and told the Jews that it was Jesus: and for this they persecuted Him, because He had done these things on the sabbath. 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. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. (Verse John 3:10). And they asked him, and said unto him, Why baptizest thou then, if thou be not that Christ, nor Elias, neither that prophet? 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. 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. But they learn that it was his divine Physician who had not only healed, but so directed him. The word "premillennial" itself is derived of two components-"pre" signifies before, and "millennium" denotes a period of one thousand years. It is thus strikingly an anticipation of the result in glory. In vain did any come to the Baptist to report the widening circle around Christ. Except one were born of water and of the Spirit, he could not enter 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. it was no lack of testimony; their will was for present honour, and hostile to the glory of the only God. 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). (Ver. Deeper questions demanded solution. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. So only is man born of God. But how precious the grace, in presence of their hatred and proud self-complacency! This is why premillennial-ism is based on a kind of hermeneutical fundamental of the Christian Faith. How, indeed, could it be stayed within narrow limits? This will be displayed in the millennium, when the marriage will be celebrated, as well as the judgment executed (Jerusalem and its temple being the central point then). 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. What a witness all this to His person! Second, it interprets present world political trends as signs of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. The question really is, whether man would trust God. 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. If, on the contrary, a soul has been taught of God the glory of the person of Him who was made flesh, he receives in all simplicity, and rejoices in, the glorious truth, that He who was made flesh was not made flesh only to this end, but rather as a step toward another and deeper work the glorifying God, and becoming our food, in death. "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." It is there that we found the Lord, in the other synoptic gospels, fulfilling His ordinary ministry. Christ was the true sanctuary, not that on which man had laboured so long in Jerusalem. Other names for premillennialists are millenarians and chiliaststaken from the Greek word for thousand (Torrey 1913:145). He bows to, as he explains, the sovereign will of God. How can such have relationship with God? For He who spoke was divine. Observe: not which was, but "which is." 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. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." The Spirit of God uses that word; it is thus invariably in conversion. Law, means, ordinances, could not meet the need no pool, nor angel nothing but the Son working in grace, the Son quickening. "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." His corporeal presence was not necessary; His word was enough. In the Word was life, and the life was the light of men. It is no question here of every man, but of such as believe. "He was in the world, and the world was made by him." 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. What is there in God more truly divine than grace and truth? Blessed servant he of an infinitely blessed and blessing Master! When the crowd complains of hunger, the disciples who are mentioned each react in unique ways. 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. (VerseJohn 4:10; John 4:10) Infinite grace! In John 6:15 we read that "when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king, He departed again to a mountain by Himself alone." I have often considered this verse to be the death-knell of premillennialism. And such was Jesus. Matthew, Mark, and Luke start, as far as regards the public labours of the Lord, with John cast into prison. to deliver the nation from the Roman yoke, and set up a temporal 42). And while He does not hide the privilege of the Jews, He nevertheless proclaims that "the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. This is the marked effect on the third day (ver. None but a divine being could thus deal with the world. He is a divine person; His manhood brought no attainder to His rights as God. Man is morally judged. John was not yet cast into prison. The close of the chapter shows us the Lord in Galilee. There He supposes His full rejection and death. (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. God the Father forms a new family in, by, and for Christ. 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. He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. Clarke's Commentary. John 7:6-8) They belonged to the world. It was not that they were better than their neighbours. 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. 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. 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. I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." In Him was life for this scene of death; and it is of faith that it might be by grace. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers. Nor will the full force of this expression be witnessed till the glorious result of His blood shedding sweep away the last trace of sin in the new heavens and the new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 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. Till then the Holy Ghost could not be so given only when Jesus was glorified, after redemption was a fact. "Master, eat," said they. The answer given by modern premillennial apologists usually suggests that premillennialism was overcome for illegitimate reasons. 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. It was not intended for other beings it was God's free gift to man, to the believer, of course. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." Here He is not portrayed as the Son of man who must be lifted up, but as the Son of God who was given. Thus it is not only the person of our Lord viewed as divine, and coming down into the world. 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). 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.
