Clarity On The Part Of Jesus
Text: John 16: 28
CLARITY ON THE PART OF JESUS
Jesus was always very clear as to who He was and why He had come to earth. But many, including the Disciples had not fully comprehended who Jesus really was.
“I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.”
John 16:28
1. “I came forth from the Father”
a. This was prophesied (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6).
b. He was the Son of God (Psalm 2:7).
c. He existed before He came to earth (John 1:1).
d. He was the Co-Creator (John 1:3).
2. “And have come into the world”
a. Jesus had been sent to be the Saviour of the world.
b. He had come to be that special Light that shines in a dark world.
c. He had come to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.
3. The people who rejected this truth
a. The multitude that walked away from Jesus even after He had fed 5000 people with five loaves and two fish (John 6:66).
b. The scribes and Pharisees who had resisted Him (John 9, 11).
4. The struggles of the Disciples
a. They found it hard to understand that Jesus could be both:
i. Son of God
ii. Son of Man
b. They struggled because of the following problems:
i. Lack of a deep faith.
ii. The problem of a hardened heart.
5. “Again, I leave the world and go to the Father”
a. Death was not the end of the matter.
b. He would simply return to the Father.
c. He would by then have completed all that was expected from Him.
d. Jesus looked forward to life beyond death on the cruel cross of Calvary.
经文:约翰福音 16:28
耶稣绝对清楚自己的身份和使命
耶稣很清楚地知道自己的身份和祂来世间的原因。但许多人,包括门徒们,都并不完全理解耶稣真正是谁。
“我从父出来,到了世界;我又离开世界,往父那里去。”
《约翰福音 16: 28》
