Thoughts on the Gospel of John (64)

I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks and judges. Most assuredly, I say to you, If anyone keeps my word, he shall never see death. Then the Jews said to him, Now we know that you have a demon. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and you say, If anyone keeps my word, he shall never taste death.
John 8:50-52.

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (64)
We can only wonder at the perfect Man, Jesus Christ, who is eternal God at the same time. How calmly He reacts to the worst insult cast at Him: ascribing a demon to Him. What He once said: "I am meek and lowly of heart" (Matthew 11:29) now proved true. There was no resentment. What a contrast to the many who are out to defend themselves, and in so doing abuse those who insult them!

Jesus left all to His Father. He was content to serve and was able to save. How astonishing it is in this connection to see Him again inviting people to follow Him: "Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he shall never see death" (even if he had been an infamous enemy). This message of salvation can only come from a heart filled with divine love, and it merits finding acceptance.

However, Jesus' enemies exploit this powerful statement triumphantly as proof that Abraham and the prophets had nothing to do with His doctrine, since they were indisputably dead. If Jesus said such a thing, He must be demon-possessed. Jesus had of course not meant physical death but the second death, eternal separation from God. From this He wished to save mankind, and that is still so today!

(to be continued next Sunday)

Today's reading: Isaiah 49:14-26 · Hebrews 11:8-16

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
