Unperturbed by the Objections

Text: John 6: 43-45

UNPERTURBED BY THE OBJECTIONS

Was Jesus perturbed or upset by the complaining spirit of the Jews? He was not upset at all. This gave Him a further opportunity to reinforce what He had said a moment ago.

Jesus therefore answered and said to them, ‘Do not murmur among yourselves. No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, ‘And they shall all be taught by God.’ Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me.’”

John 6:43-45

1. “Do not murmur among yourselves”

a) This was the approach taken by the Jews.
b) They did not seek clarification.
c) They complained and murmured among themselves.
d) In so doing, they became even more muddled up.
e) They were none the wiser for all their grumbling and complaining.

2. The special work of the Father

a) Once again Jesus mentioned this.
b) He had already taught about the involvement of God the Father (John 6:32, 37).
c) Two aspects were highlighted:
i) The Father will draw the true believer to Jesus in faith.
ii) He will teach the individual.

3. “Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father”

a) The individual hears the teachings of Jesus.
b) In his heart he knows that he has in fact experienced two special things:
i) He has heard the Father speaking to him.
ii) He has learned from the Father, the Divine Teacher.
c) This was a prophecy proclaimed by two prophets (Isaiah 54:13; Jeremiah 31:34).

4. The ones taught by God the Father

Jesus once again spoke with great certainty. Those who were taught by the Father would certainly come to Jesus in faith!

经文:约翰福音6:43-45

不因犹太人的反对而感到困扰

耶稣是否有因犹太人的议论而感到困扰或难过? 祂根本没有。这反而让祂有机会强调之前所说的话。

“耶稣回答说:‘你们不要大家议论。若不是差我来的父吸引人,就没有能到我这里来的;到我这里来的,在末日我要叫他复活。在先知书上写着说:‘他们都要蒙神的教训。’ 凡听见父之教训又学习的,就到我这里来。’”

《约翰福音6:43-45》

1. “不要大家议论”

a) 这是犹太人对待此事的方式
b) 他们没有澄清
c) 他们反而聚在一起发怨言、起争论
d) 因此,他们变得更糊涂
e) 他们如此发怨言、起争论,并没帮助他们明白耶稣的话

2. 天父特别的工作

a) 耶稣再次提到这一点
b) 祂已经教训过关于父神的参与 《约翰福音6:32, 37》
c) 祂强调了两点:
i) 天父会吸引真正的信徒,使他们以信心来到耶稣
ii) 天父会教导真正的信徒

3. “凡听见父之教训又学习的”

a) 凡听到耶稣的教训的人
b) 在他心中,他意识到自己经历了两件特别的事:
i) 他已听见天父与他说话
ii) 他已向天父,这位神圣的老师学习
c) 这正是两位先知所宣告的预言《以赛亚书54:13》;《耶利米书31;34》

4. 那些父神所教的人

耶稣再次极为确定地说,天父所教导的人必定会以信心归向耶稣!
