Thoughts on the Gospel of John (63)

Which of you convicts me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not believe me? He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God. Then the Jews answered and said to him, Do we not say rightly that you are a Samaritan and have a demon? Jesus answered, I do not have a demon; but I honour my Father, and you dishonour me.
John 8:46-49.

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (63)
Here Jesus really comes to the point! His enemies need to prove Him guilty of any one sin. Was there anyone who had ever observed any lapse on His part? What a statement is expressed in these words of the Son of God! Nobody could sincerely have said such a thing. On the contrary, the centuries have shown that "they are all under sin. As it is written: There is none righteous, no, not one" (Romans 3:9.10).

Jesus Christ is the only holy, sinless person. This is confirmed in many passages of the New Testament. He did no sin; sin is not in Him, and in His own experience He never knew sin (cf. 1 Peter 2:22; 1 John 3:5; 2 Corinthians 5:21).

His opponents' abuse reached its climax, when the Lord reproached them with not being "of God". For religious persons this accusation is unbearable, just as the thought that there is no good in us is abhorrent for the godless.

When Jesus told them that they were not truly Abraham's children, but children of the devil (vv. 39-44), His enemies replied with malicious insinuations: He came from the Samaritans, was therefore outside the true people of God, and He had a demon and was thus a "child" of the devil. How did the Lord react to this wickedness? He did not justify Himself, but sought, as always, to honour His Father.

(to be continued next Sunday)

Today's reading: Isaiah 45:1-13 · Hebrews 9:11-18

FALSE PROPHETS AND THEIR PROPHECIES-THE FALSE PROPHET


And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the...More

EVERYONE NEEDS A MIRACLE

Some years ago, I was invited to be the guest speaker at a garden party in an exclusive, highbrow residential area. Because I arrived at the venue quite early, I was made to sit for a while in the house of my host. The house was an exquisite parade of wealth and splendour. I had never seen such brazen display of...More

PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS

Read:
that when he cried to the Lord, the Lord healed him. This is another testimony of someone who believed in the God that answers prayers. May prayer for someone using this devotional is that as you cry unto God today, He will answer you as He answered Hannah, Jabez and Elijah in Jesus'...More

The bankruptcy that saves

None of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him - for the redemption of their souls is costly, and it shall cease for ever.

You were not redeemed with silver or gold from your aimless conduct but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and...More
