The Explanation of John Concerning Jesus and His success in Ministry

Text: John 3:34

“For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.”

John 3:34

THE EXPLANATION OF JOHN CONCERNING JESUS AND HIS SUCCESS IN MINISTRY

1. John was speaking to his disciples who were upset that Jesus had more followers.

2. A deep understanding of Jesus was necessary or the feelings of misgiving will fester and become worse.

SENT ON A MISSION

1. John knew what it meant to be sent.

2. He could speak on this subject with deep feeling.

3. He himself had been sent by God to prepare the way of the Lord, the Messiah.

JESUS WAS SENT BY GOD TOO

1. Jesus was sent by God as well.

2. His ministry was to speak the words of God.

a. His ministry was different from that of John.
b. His ministry was to proclaim the very words of God.
c. He would speak as the Living Word (John 1:1).

A MARKED DIFFERENCE

1. All servants of God must be anointed by the Holy Spirit.

2. John also experienced what it meant to be filled with the Holy Spirit for life and ministry.

3. However there was an essential difference!

4. The Holy Spirit would be given to Jesus “without measure”.

THE SEVEN-FOLD SPIRIT OF GOD RESTING UPON JESUS  THE CHRIST

Jesus would be given the Spirit of God in absolute fullness. This was prophesied of Him by the prophet Isaiah.

“The Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon Him,The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,The Spirit of counsel and might,The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.”

Isaiah 11:2

THE POWER OF GOD IN JESUS

1. Jesus would experience the fullness of the power of God in His life and ministry.

2. He would draw many to His side.

3. His success in ministry would be a natural and logical outcome of the power of God applied.

John’s disciples must understand and rejoice in the huge success of the Lord Jesus Christ!

经文： 约翰福音 3: 34

“神所差来的，就说神的话。因为神赐圣灵给他，是没有限量的。”

《约翰福音 3: 34》

约翰解释关于耶稣和祂在职事上的成就

1. 这是约翰与他自己的门徒们所说的话。他们因耶稣的追随者多过约翰而感到不安。

2. 门徒对耶稣的深刻理解是必要的，否则顾忌会恶化并变得更糟。

出任使命

1. 约翰知道差遣意味着什么

2. 他能够深刻地谈论这个话题

3. 他本身被上帝差遣来为主，弥赛亚，准备道路

耶稣也是由上帝差遣的

1. 耶稣是由上帝差遣的

2. 祂的职事是传扬上帝的话语

a. 祂的职事与约翰的职事不同
b. 祂的职事是要传扬上帝的话语
c. 祂会以 “活道” 的身份传扬上帝的话语《约翰福音 1：1》

明显的差异

1. 上帝所有的仆人都必须受圣灵的膏抹。

2. 约翰在生命和事功也体验了被圣灵的充满

3. 但是有一个基本的区别！

4. 耶稣将 “没有限量的” 被赐予圣灵

上帝的七灵降在耶稣基督

耶稣将被赐予上帝的丰盛的灵。这是先知以赛亚所预言的。

“耶和华的灵必住在他身上，就是使他有智慧和聪明的灵，谋略和能力的灵，知识和敬畏耶和华的灵。”

《以赛亚 11：2》

上帝的大能显现在耶稣身上

1. 耶稣将在祂的生命和职事里体验上帝大能的充满

2. 祂会吸引许多人到祂的身边

3. 祂在职事上的成就将是上帝所赐的大能的自然和合乎逻辑的结果。

约翰的门徒必须明白并为主耶稣基督的极大成功而欢喜！
