My Song In The Night (Gospel of John)
我夜间的歌曲 (约翰福音)
The Witness of John
Text: John 5:36
THE WITNESS OF JOHN
The witness of John should have been sufficient. The following reasons may be presented:
1. His character
a. His life was impressive.
b. His life was consistent.
2. His ministry
a. He had faithfully preached.
b. Many had come to faith through his preaching.
THE WORKS OF JESUS AS ANOTHER WITNESS
Jesus knew the hearts of the people. Their interest in John was short-lived. He went on to present another witness.
“But I have a greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish- the very works that I do- bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.”
John 5:36
1. “I have a greater witness than John’s.”
a. Jesus was referring to the works that the Father had given Him to do and to finish.
b. What were these works that bore witness that God the Father had sent Him?
2. The Gospel of Luke records an important word by the Lord Jesus Christ.
“The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me,
Because He has anointed
Me To preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives
And recovery of sight to the blind,
To set at liberty those who are oppressed;
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD.”Luke 4:18-19
a. These were the works that God had sent Jesus to do.
b. Jesus had faithfully fulfilled all these works.
3. The special sign-miracles Jesus performed were undeniable works that an ordinary person cannot do.
a. The blind see (Matthew 11:5a).
b. The lame walk (Matthew 11:5a).
c. The lepers are cleansed (Matthew 11:5b).
d. The deaf hear, the dead are raised up (Matthew 11:5b, 5c).
These were the works that bore witness powerfully that Jesus was truly the Messiah, the Anointed One!
经文:约翰福音 5: 36
约翰的见证
约翰的见证本应该足够了。以下是其中的原因:
1. 他的人格
a. 他的生活令人印象深刻
b. 他的生活是一致的
2. 他的职事
a. 他忠实地传道
b. 许多人通过他的讲道而信
另一个见证人 – 耶稣的作为
耶稣知道众人的心。他们对约翰的兴趣是短暂的。祂继续介绍另一位证人。
“但我有比约翰更大的见证,因为父交给我要我成就的事,
就是我所做的事,这便见证我是父所差来的。”《约翰福音 5: 36》
1. 但我有比约翰更大的见证
a. 耶稣指的是父所赐给他并完成的职事
b. 耶稣所做的事见证了祂是父神所差来的。耶稣所做的事指的是什么呢?
2. 路加福音记载了主耶稣基督的重要话语
“主的灵在我身上,因为他用膏膏我,叫我传福音给贫穷的人,差遣我报告被掳的得释放、瞎眼的得看见,叫那受压制的得自由,报告神悦纳人的禧年。”
《路加福音 4: 18-19》
