"Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." The Son had not come to execute the judgments of the law they knew, nor even to promulgate a new and higher law. 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. 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.

ESV John 4:16 Jesus said to her, "Go, call your husband, and come here." I do not mean by this all individuals, but creation; for nothing can be more certain, than that those who do not receive the Son of God are so much the worse for having heard the gospel. Thus we all not only receive of His fulness, (and what fulness illimitable was there not in Him!) 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. 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.

At the end of fiscal 2032, it predicts, the total federal debt will be $44.797 trillion. Was this false and blasphemous in their eyes? Here, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." "He that believeth on him is not judged: but he that believeth not is judged already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God." It is the revelation of God yea, of the Father and the Son, and not merely the detecter of man. So we see in the attractive power, afterwards dealing with individual souls. 1. One of the peculiarities of our gospel is, that we see the Lord from time to time (and, indeed, chiefly) in or near Jerusalem. 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. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

Other arguments follow, engaging to it, as that God is invisible; and if he is to be loved, then certainly his people, who are visible; and that such who love one another, God dwells in them, and his love is perfected in them; and that he dwells in them is known by the gift of his Spirit to them, 1Jo 4:12,13, and that God the Father so loved the world, as to send his Son to be the Saviour of it, before asserted, is confirmed by the apostles, who were eyewitnesses of it; who also declare, that whoever confesses the sonship of Christ, God dwells in him, and he in God; and who had an assurance of the love of God to them, who is love itself; so that he that dwells in God, and God in him, dwells in love, 1Jo 4:14-16. How were they not enjoyed in despised Samaria those two days with the Son of God among them! They should have understood more about Him those that were specially favoured. (John 12:48). 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. It was not intended for other beings it was God's free gift to man, to the believer, of course. If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. Both of them were in relation to man on the earth; the one while He was here, the other from above. The allusion to the fig-tree confirms this.

Heavenly things are set in evident contradistinction, and link themselves immediately here, as everywhere, with the cross as their correlative. The author is the apostle John, "the disciple whom Jesus loved" (13:23 [see note there]; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7,20,24). 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. 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. Alas! 17 This is how love is His corporeal presence was not necessary; His word was enough. (Ver. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." Life out of death was wanted by man, such as he is; and this the Father is giving in the Son. 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. God loves us as a father loves his own son. How can such have relationship with God? Did they charge Jesus with self-exaltation? 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. Two resurrections, one of life, and another of judgment, would be the manifestation of faith and unbelief, or rather, of those who believe, and of those who reject the Son. 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. 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. 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. He has given us the spirit of adoption by which we call Him, Abba, father! My wifes dad was a chiropractor and when she got to be old enough, he gave her an opportunity to be a receptionist at his clinic. (Ver. * The best text omits other expressions, evidently derived from verses John 1:15; John 1:30John 1:30. 18 The fact * He says, One was among them of whom they had no conscious knowledge, "that cometh after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to loose." The law works no deliverance; it puts a man in chains, prison, darkness, and under condemnation; it renders him a patient, or a criminal incompetent to avail himself of the displays of God's goodness. Did the dead (for so men are treated, not as alive under law) did they hear the voice of the Son of God? He who The Word, in order to accomplish these infinite things, "was made. 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. Jesus said to her, You are right when you say you have no husband. This gives occasion to Jesus to teach us the lesson that conscience must be reached, and sense of sin produced, before grace is understood and brings forth fruit. Yet before a miracle, as well as in the working of those which set forth His glory, it is evident that so far from its being a gradual growth, as it were, in His mind, He had, all simple and lowly though He were, the deep, calm, constant consciousness that He was God. And whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. Observe, it is not (as is often very erroneously said or sung) a question of sins, but of the "sin" of the world.

John 1:19-37; John 1:19-37) It is here presented historically. John 1:35-40) Our Lord acts as One fully conscious of His glory, as indeed He ever was. 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. 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! Such shall live. The Word, God (and only begotten Son in the Father's bosom), He was eternally Son of God, too, as born into the world. "For God," He says, "so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life."

It was not the time now to demonstrate in public power these coming, yea, then present truths. (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? Nay, "the world knew him not."

Nobody had gone up to heaven: God had taken more than one; but no one had gone there as of right. It is there that we found the Lord, in the other synoptic gospels, fulfilling His ordinary ministry. But see the blessed fruit of receiving it. In John He is One who could be described as Son of man who is in heaven; but He belonged to heaven, because He was divine. 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. not the Jews only; for, as far as intelligence went, it was little better with the disciples till He rose from the dead. 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. Proud member Rest is not the question now at all; but the flow of the Spirit's power while Jesus is on high. 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. Here there is no John proclaiming Jesus as the One who was about to introduce the kingdom of heaven. This would make all manifest. It is not only the nature, but the model and fulness of the blessing in the Son, who declared the Father. John gives us this point of contact with them, though in an incident peculiar to himself. But knowing what will happen, and realizing it's part of a plan, greatly reduces our fear. It is not denunciation, but the most solemn sentence in the calmest manner. I apprehend the words the Authorised Version gives in italics should disappear. Without it there is no divine understanding of Christ, or of His word, or of Scripture. He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. 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.

But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God." John 7:38; John 7:38) And then we have the comment of the Holy Ghost: "(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified)" There is, first, the thirsty soul coming to Jesus and drinking; then there is the power of the Spirit flowing forth from the inner man of the believer in refreshment to others. "Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God." 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 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).

First, we must worship, if at all, in spirit and in truth. 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. It finds, of course, a present application, and links itself with that activity of grace in which God is now sending out the gospel to any sinner and every sinner. The effect is thus final, even as His person, witness, and glory are divine. What love! 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. The Lord, it is true, could and did go farther than the prophets: even if He taught on the same theme, He could speak with conscious divine dignity and knowledge (not merely what was assigned to an instrument or messenger). Man, 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.
