Thus a despised Christ is not merely a crucified Son of man, and given Son of God, as in John 3:1-36, but Himself a divine giver in communion with the Father, and in the power of the Holy Ghost who is given to the believer, the source of worship, as their God and Father is its object for the worshippers in spirit and truth (though surely not to the exclusion of the Son, Hebrews 1:1-14).

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. 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. Following this accusation, the Lord Jesus taught His disciples all about His unique relationship with God the Father. Still the Lord refused the crown then: it was not the time or state for His reign. , He hath eternal life, and doth not come into judgment. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. It was an extraordinary birth; of God, not man in any sort, or measure, but a new and divine nature (2 Peter 1:1-21) imparted to the believer wholly of grace.

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias. Each had his own; all are harmonious, all perfect, all divine; but not all so many repetitions of the same thing. Of course it is the revelation of Christ; but here He was simply revealing the sources of this indispensable new birth. (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? For this reason Jesus perfected revelation by fulfilling it through his whole work of making Himself present and manifesting Himself: through His words and deeds, His signs and wonders, but especially through His death and glorious resurrection from the dead and final sending of the Spirit of truth. Still the eternal day alone will show out the full virtue of that which belongs to Jesus as the Lamb of God, who takes away the world's sin. This is all perfectly true, of course; and we have it elsewhere. c. are quick to make and stick to initial impressions. So, while all are dead in Adam (1 Cor 15:22) by virtue of our inherited sinfulness and the sins we have committed as a result, those who believe pass out of death, and into life, and life eternal.

Here there could not be more, and He would not give less: even "grace upon grace." Nicodemus remonstrates but is spurned; all retire to their home Jesus, who had none, to the mount of Olives. Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers. The Lord Jesus did, without question, take humanity in His person into that glory which He so well knew as the Son of the Father. Thus we have here the other side of the truth: not merely what God is in life and light, in grace and truth, as revealed in Christ coming down to man; but man is now judged in the very root of his nature, and proved to be entirely incapable, in his best state, of seeing or entering the kingdom of God. 3.

If He spoke the truth, they were blasphemers. Blessed servant he of an infinitely blessed and blessing Master! Here, "If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink." But Jesus replied, "My Father is working until now, and I Myselfam working. For He who spoke was divine. ." And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven." Notably He is now applying it to the reconciliation of a people, who are also baptized by the Holy Ghost into one body. 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. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.

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. They had stumbled before, and the Lord brought in not alone His person, as the Word made flesh, presented for man now to receive and enjoy; but unless they ate the flesh, and drank the blood of the Son of man, they had no life in them.

"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." 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.
