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. Nobody had gone up to heaven: God had taken more than one; but no one had gone there as of right. Nothing is said about the fan in His hand; nothing of His burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire. The ignorance of the world has been proved, the rejection of Israel is complete: then only is it that we hear of this new place of children. Although the authorship of the Johannine works has traditionally been attributed to John the Apostle, only a minority of Author. 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. 42). God the Father forms a new family in, by, and for Christ. (1-4) The reason for Jesus warning: certain persecution. This would make all manifest. Thus, manifestly, the whole question is terminated at the very starting-point of our gospel; and this is characteristic of John all through: manifestly all is decided. 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. The judgment, all of it, whether for quick or dead, is consigned to Him, because He is Son of man. Here, then, we have a remarkable display of that which preceded His Galilean ministry, or public manifestation. 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. 7 He came as a witness to testify about the Light, so that through him everyone might believe. 19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. (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. There is but one unfailing test the Son of God God's testimony to Him. (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. (Psalms 132:1-18) Then they wanted to make Him a king. 1 John 4:19. he would not. His was an errand incomparably deeper, more worthy of God, and suitable to One "full of grace and truth." John 1:29-34) How rich it is, and how marvellously in keeping with our gospel! 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." 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. Nevertheless, Christ did come to His own things, His proper, peculiar possession; for there were special relationships. And herein is that true saying, One soweth, and another reapeth. And worship is viewed both in moral nature and in the joy of communion doubly. (ver. 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. At that time Jesus remained in the judgment hall. At first she tried to hide her sins, but Jesus 1 John 4:18. But as many as received him, to them gave he power [rather, authority, right, or title] to become children of God." God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in They could not deny Him to be man Son of man. For were it not God Himself in the person of Jesus, it had been no glory to God, but a wrong and a rival. Glory would be displayed in its day. Life out of death was wanted by man, such as he is; and this the Father is giving in the Son. There He supposes His full rejection and death. Simon was one of the commonest names at the time (along with Jesus, Joseph, John and Levi), and so he is distinguished from others by his nickname, which Matthew assumes he has already been given; we hear of an earlier It was not that they were better than their neighbours. Remark, too, the extent of the work involved in verse 29. So rich and transparently divine was the grace: not some souls, more meritorious than the rest, rewarded according to a graduated scale of honour, but "of his fulness have all we received." 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? (Verses John 7:19-23) What judgment could be less righteous? This question is raised, or rather settled, by the Lord in Jerusalem, at the passover feast, where many believed on His name, beholding the signs He wrought. So only is man born of God. 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. Thus former things pass away; the old man is judged, dead, and clean gone. These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. 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. 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. he might be; and this, too, as the expression of the true and full grace of God in His only-begotten Son given. The issue of all is, that the will of man is the real cause and spring of enmity. The Father seeks worshippers. Observe, that blessed as the light is, being God's moral nature, truth is more than this, and is introduced by grace. The apostle attests this. It is the final setting aside of Judaism then, whose characteristic hope was the display of power and rest in the world. 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. 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. Salem Media Group. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." : a Jewish prophet who according to Gospel accounts foretold Jesus' messianic ministry and baptized him. But He, being God, was manifesting and, on the contrary, maintaining the divine glory here below. Nay, the Father has given all judgment to the Son. Web1 John 4:17. 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. And so, in fact, it was and is. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. * The best text omits other expressions, evidently derived from verses John 1:15; John 1:30John 1:30. 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. How striking the omission! But here these streams of the Spirit are substituted for the feast of tabernacles, which cannot be accomplished till Christ come from heaven and show Himself to the world; for this time was not yet come. NIV. Had it been meant, it was no wonder that Nicodemus did not know how these things could be. (VersesJohn 3:20-21; John 3:20-21). They spoke of the world; the world might hear them. For He who spoke was divine. Scripture is, or may be, before man always. "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. (Verses John 7:40-53). John 19 Jesus Is Crucified A. Jesus is condemned to crucifixion. 1. (1-4) Pilate hopes to satisfy the mob by having Jesus whipped and mocked. So then Pilate took Jesus and scourged Him. One must be born again for God's kingdom a Jew for what was promised him, like another. 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). 18 The fact saith unto her, fie, call thy husband, and come hither. What you have just said is quite true. 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. 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. 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. 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. 17 This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus.

Such is God's vindication of His outraged rights; and the judgment will be proportionate to the glory that has been set at nought. go, call thy husband, and come hither; go directly from hence to the city of Sychar, and call thy husband, and come back hither along with him again: this Christ said, not to have him come to teach and instruct him, and as if he would more readily and easily understand him, and that he might be with her, a partaker of the same grace; but to bring on some further conversation, by which she would understand that he knew her state and condition, and what a course of life she now lived, and so bring her under a conviction of her sin and danger, and need of him and his grace. Jesus said to her, You are right when you say you have no husband. Nay, "the world knew him not." The Father did not judge, but committed all judgment into the hands of the Son, because He is the Son of man. 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. Thus, in His person, as well as in His work, they joined issue. Indeed, He was the great Prophet, as He was the great King, and as He is now the great Priest on high. All is fitly closed by the declaration, that "the Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand." Thus we all not only receive of His fulness, (and what fulness illimitable was there not in Him!) (Ver. No argument can be drawn from Luke 4:23 against the view that the incidents are different, for therein a ministry at Capernaum would already be presupposed (Schleiermacher, Kern, de Wette, Weiss, Bleek, Holtzmann, and others), as 17 And as we live This is the marked effect on the third day (ver. Web1 John 4:16 (KJV) - Forerunner Commentary. Here was a meeting, indeed, between such an one and Him, the Son, true God and eternal life. Thus, in fact, we have the Lord setting aside what was merely Messianic by the grand truths of the incarnation, and, above all, of the atonement, with which man must have vital association: he must eat yea, eat and drink. 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." GOD LOVES YOU. Thus solemnly does the meek Lord Jesus unfold these two truths. What you have just said is quite true.. God never left Himself without witness; He did not even among the Gentiles, surely yet less in Israel. Johns answer goes down to the depths, for his notion of love is the response of the believing soul to the love of God which was manifested on the Cross of Calvary. Not only man under law has no health, but he has no strength to avail himself of the blessing that God holds out. He wanted nothing; He came to give yea, the very best, so to speak, that God has. "For God sent not his Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world through him might be saved." ? 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: Knowing God the Father is invisible should make us more 1 John 4:19, KJV: We love him, because he first loved us. Then the soldiers mockingly but truthfully hail Jesus as the king of the Jews (19:3). (sometimes initial capital letter) a prostitute's customer. (Ed. Details are not called for now, but just the outline of the truth. Grace begins, glory descends; "Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink." John 7:24) They reason and are in utter uncertainty. But all that is historically related of the Lord Jesus inJohn 1:1-51; John 1:1-51; John 2:1-25; John 3:1-36; John 4:1-54. was before the imprisonment of the Baptist. 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. (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? John told us that he was at Jesus crucifixion and saw these things with his own eyes (John 19:35). (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. To have righteousness we 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. Sons they might have been in bare title; but these had the right of children. There was purpose in it. "He must, increase, but I decrease." 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. Wonderful things in the Bible I see, Copyright 2023, Bible Study Tools. 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. He who, living, was received for eternal life, is our meat and drink in dying, and gives us communion with His death. Art thou that prophet? 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. ii. 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. 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. Christ was the true sanctuary, not that on which man had laboured so long in Jerusalem. The way you see God has everything to do with how you approach Him, how you relate to Him. Why should He not show Himself to the world? John 4:1-54 presents the Lord Jesus outside Jerusalem outside the people of promise among Samaritans, with whom Jews had no intercourse. And the chapter is closed with observing the contradiction there is between a profession of love to God, and hatred of the brethren, seeing God, who is invisible, cannot be loved, if brethren that are seen are hated; and also the commandment, that he that loves God should love his brother also, 1Jo 4:20,21. 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 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 fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. 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. How could either light or love rest in a scene of sin, darkness, and misery? Thus we feed on Him and drink into Him, as man, unto life everlasting life in Him. This brings in the great counterpart truth, that even God present on earth and made flesh is not enough. 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. 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. And they which were sent were of the Pharisees. How, indeed, could it be stayed within narrow limits? John 4:1-6; John 4:1-6) What a picture of rejection and humiliation! For The Baltimore Sun. For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: that all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. The character is wholly different from the position and glory of Messiah in Israel, according to promise and prophecy. Web1 John 4:19 Parallel Verses [ See commentary ] 1 John 4:19, NIV: We love because he first loved us. 6 There came a man who was sent from God. They entered not into His words more than His grace, but thought and spoke, like the Samaritan woman, about things of this life. not the Jews only; for, as far as intelligence went, it was little better with the disciples till He rose from the dead. But knowing what will happen, and realizing it's part of a plan, greatly reduces our fear. And Jesus answers, "I that speak unto thee am he." Further, it is connected intimately with the evidence of man's ruin by sin. The disciples come; the woman goes into the city, leaving her waterpot, but carrying with her the unspeakable gift of God. This last is the figure of a truth deeper than incarnation, and clearly means communion with His death. Then He rebukes the carnality of His brethren. Commentary, explanation and study verse by verse. 16 We know how much God loves us, and we have put our trust in his love. John gives us this point of contact with them, though in an incident peculiar to himself. "The law was given by Moses." God is love. , He saith ) Now He makes an avenue for giving to the woman, who begs for water, a better kind of it, than that which she had begged for. , husband ) The woman "And this is the judgment, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 3. This is grace and truth. 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. For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. John 1:35-40) Our Lord acts as One fully conscious of His glory, as indeed He ever was. Nor could any question be more momentous. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will. NET John 4:16 He said to her, "Go call your husband and come back here." NLT John 4:16 "Go and get your husband," Jesus told her. ESV John 4:16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." 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. For the astonishing thought is, not merely that Jesus receives the Holy Ghost without measure, but that God gives the Spirit also, and not by measure, through Him to others. Both of them were in relation to man on the earth; the one while He was here, the other from above. 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. 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. It was impossible that there should not be righteous dealing with human evil against God, in its sources and its streams. There is the nicest care to maintain His personal glory, no matter what the subject may be. Did they charge Jesus with self-exaltation? 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. (16-19) Jesus speaks of her sinful life. The distinctiveness of such a testimony to the Saviour's glory need hardly be pointed out. But even this sufficed not: the Son of man must be lifted up. They crown Jesus with thorns and dress him in a purple robe. 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. Blessed servant he of an infinitely blessed and blessing Master! 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. How truly it is man under law! a toilet or bathroom. If He judges, it is not without full warning. It is not denunciation, but the most solemn sentence in the calmest manner. The Word, God (and only begotten Son in the Father's bosom), He was eternally Son of God, too, as born into the world. He reminds them of his previous disclaimer of any place beyond one sent before Jesus. (Verse John 7:39), Nothing can be simpler than this. 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. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. 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. Pharisaic jealousy had wrought; and Jesus, wearied, sat thus at the fountain of Jacob's well in Sychar. called also John the Baptist. So we see in the attractive power, afterwards dealing with individual souls. In the process of torturing Jesus, the soldiers ironically coronate him king. 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.
