When the man that had been healed obeyed Christ's instruction and picked up his bed to carry it home, it was construed as work, and they accused Jesus of violating their laws. It was no longer a moot-point whether God could trust man; for, indeed, He could not. 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. As the Lamb of God (of the Father it is not said), He has to do with the world. But it is important we should know how He entered the world.

Still the Lord refused the crown then: it was not the time or state for His reign. How could either light or love rest in a scene of sin, darkness, and misery? (ver. As the new birth for the kingdom of God, so the cross is absolutely necessary for eternal life. 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. On this basisJohn 7:1-53; John 7:1-53 proceeds. Nay, the Father has given all judgment to the Son. He reminds them of his previous disclaimer of any place beyond one sent before Jesus.

Difficulty understanding words, especially against background noise or in a crowd. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

Matthew, Mark, and Luke start, as far as regards the public labours of the Lord, with John cast into prison. Till then the Holy Ghost could not be so given only when Jesus was glorified, after redemption was a fact. (Ver. 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. In both instances Thomas appears as a person loyal to Jesus and ready to die with him, but, at the same time, skeptical, stubborn, and realist in a somehow negative way. To LEARN a passage of Scripture, like 1 John 5:11-13, use these four time-tested steps: 1. So on the last day, that great day of the feast (the eighth day, which witnessed of a resurrection glory outside this creation, now to be made good in the power of the Spirit before anything appears to sight), the Lord stands and cries, saying, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." Such was the grace that God was displaying in Him, the true and full expresser of His mind. Hence, then, we have the Lord Jesus alluding to this fresh necessity, if man was to be blessed according to God. (Ver. 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.

John gives us this point of contact with them, though in an incident peculiar to himself. His corporeal presence was not necessary; His word was enough. As John said (1:14), "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." In heaven, we will see Jesus' glory in all its fullness (17:24). 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. Here, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." "Ye will not come to me that ye might have life." For them, Israel, or the world, all is over. No such sounds, no such realities were ever heard or known in Israel. 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?

He had no need that any should testify of man, for He knew what was in man. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
