Challenging the Jews
Text: John 10: 36
CHALLENGING THE JEWS
Jesus was unafraid of the Jews. He knew how shallow their knowledge of the Scripture was.
“Do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?”
John 10:36
1. “Do you say of Him”
a. Jesus was referring to Himself.
b. He was going to make two important statements about who He was.
2. The two important statements
a. “The Father sanctified”
i. By declaring Him as His beloved Son, with whom He was well pleased (Matthew 3:17).
ii. By giving Him the Holy Spirit in fullness (Matthew 3:16; Isaiah 11:2).
b. “And sent into the world”
i. Jesus spoke of being sent a number of times (John 4:34; 6:39 etc).
ii. He had been sent to do the works of God (John 9:4).
iii. God was with Him whom He had sent (John 8:29).
3. “Because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’”
a. Jesus knew that the Jews were fault-finding.
b. They picked on the words Jesus used.
c. The phrase they deemed as blasphemy was this statement “I am the Son of God”.
4. “The significance of this statement, ‘I am the Son of God’”
a. This was stated in answer to the question as to whether Jesus was the Christ (John 10:24).
b. Who was “The Christ” according to the Scriptures?
i. He would be called “Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14).
ii. But Immanuel means “God with us”.
iii. Jesus was the Christ who was truly “God with us”.
iv. When God affirmed that Jesus was His beloved Son, He endorsed Him fully.
v. Jesus could not be less than the Son of God.
vi. He was both Man and God at the same time!

挑战犹太人
耶稣不怕犹太人。祂知道他们对圣经的了解有多么浅薄。
“父所分别为圣又差到世间来的，他自称是神的儿子，你们还向他说‘你说僭妄的话’吗？”
