My Song In The Night (Gospel of John)
我夜间的歌曲 (约翰福音）
Everyone Went to His Own Home
Text: John 8: 1-2
EVERYONE WENT TO HIS OWN HOME
The meeting of the chief priests and the Pharisees ended with a statement that everyone went to his own home (John 7:53).
WHERE DID JESUS SPEND HIS NIGHT?
Jesus once said the following words to a person who expressed a wish to follow Him.
“Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”
Luke 9:58
This was a statement that may be understood literally. Jesus did not have a permanent address! When everyone went home, where did Jesus spend the night?
“But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.”
John 8:1
1. Jesus spent the night in the Mount of Olives.
2. He had no home in Jerusalem to rest in.
3. How did He spend His night?
a. In meditation.
b. In prayer.
c. In preparation for the last stage of His earthly ministry
i. Where He would be arrested.
ii. Where He would suffer much in the hands of His enemies.
iii. He would die a terrible death before His resurrection.
EARLY IN THE MORNING
Jesus spent much time in close fellowship with His Father. He was an early riser. He would always begin His day in prayer and in communion with God (Mark 1:35).
“Now early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people came to Him; and He sat down and taught them.”
John 8:2
1. “Early in the morning”
a. This would be early dawn.
b. He would have to make His descent from Mount Olives early in the morning.
2. Teaching at the temple
a. The people continued to flock to Him.
b. Being the eternal Teacher He taught the multitude.
c. He was totally unafraid of suffering or death!
经文：约翰福音 8：1-2
“各人都回家去了”
当祭司长和法利赛人的公会会议结束后，各人都回家去了。《约翰福音 7：53》。
耶稣在哪里过夜？
耶稣曾经对一个想跟随祂的人说了这番话。
“狐狸有洞，天空的飞鸟有窝，只是人子没有枕头的地方。”
《路加福音 9：58》
以上这番话可以按字面意义来理解。耶稣没有固定的住处！当每个人回家后，耶稣在哪里过夜？
“耶稣却往橄榄山去。”
《约翰福音 8：1》
1. 耶稣在橄榄山过夜
2. 祂在耶路撒冷没有住所
3. 祂是如何度过祂的夜晚呢？
a. 思想
b. 祷告
c. 为祂早期职事的最后阶段做准备
i. 祂将被捉拿
ii. 祂将在敌人的手中遭受极大的痛苦
iii. 在祂复活之前，祂将遭受残忍的死亡
清早
耶稣花了很多时间与祂的父密切团契。祂是一个早起的人。祂总是以祷告及与祂的父同在来开始每一天《马可福音 1：35》。
“清早又回到殿里，众百姓都到他那里去，他就坐下教训他们。”
《约翰福音 8：2》
