The Issue of Believing

Text: John 5:45-47

THE ISSUE OF BELIEVING

The issue of believing in the Lord Jesus is not a straight-forward problem. Jesus highlighted this.

“Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father;
there is one who accuses you- Moses, in whom you trust.
For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me;
for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his
writings, how will you believe My words?”

John 5:45-47

1. “Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father”

a. Jesus did not come to accuse people.
b. Neither had He come to condemn.
c. He had come to help people.
d. He had come to save people from sin and judgment.

2. “There is one who accuses you- Moses, in whom you trust”

a. The Jews had trusted in the teachings of Moses.
b. But if they had correctly read Moses they would have come to believe in Jesus.

3. “For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me”

a. The Jews may have read the writings of Moses.
b. But that did not mean that they actually believed.
i. They did not really believe in Moses.
ii. Nor had they truly believed in the teachings of Moses.
iii. Nor had they truly believed in the God of Moses.
iv. They certainly had not come to believe in Jesus!
c. What Moses wrote about Jesus:
i. That He would be the special Prophet whom God would send.
ii. He would be like Moses… but much greater (Deuteronomy 18:15-19).

4. “But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?”

a. The problem is “unbelief”.
b. This was the unresolved basic problem. The Jews did not believe in Moses. They would not be able to believe in the words of Jesus!

关于相信的问题

相信主耶稣不是一个直接的问题。耶稣强调了这一点：

“不要想我在父面前要告你们，有一位告你们的，就是你们所仰赖的摩西。你们如果信摩西，也必信我，因为他书上有指着我写的话。你们若不信他的书，怎能信我的话呢？”

《约翰福音 5：45-47》

1. 不要想我在父面前要告你们

a. 耶稣不是为了告人而来
b. 祂也不是来定人的罪
c. 祂是来帮助人
d. 祂来是要把人从罪孽和审判拯救出来

2. 有一位告你们的，就是你们所仰赖的摩西

a. 犹太人信任摩西的教训
b. 但是如果犹太人正确的阅读摩西的书，他们必相信耶稣

3. 你们如果信摩西，也必信我，因为他书上有指着我写的话

a. 犹太人也许有阅读摩西所写的
b. 但这并不代表他们真的相信
i. 他们并没有真正相信摩西
ii. 也没有真正相信摩西的教训
iii. 也没有真正相信摩西的上帝
iv. 他们肯定没有相信耶稣！
c. 摩西写了关于耶稣的教训
i. 祂是上帝差遣的一位特别的先知
ii. 祂会像摩西，但是更强大 《申命记 18：15-19》

4. 你们若不信他的书，怎能信我的话呢？

a. 问题在于 “不信”
b. 这是未解决的基本问题。犹太人并没有相信摩西。他们因此也不能够相信耶稣的话!
