Jesus the Master-Teacher

Text: John 7:39

JESUS THE MASTER-TEACHER

Jesus is the most wonderful Teacher ever! He knew the hearts of the people who came to Him. He knew the following things about them:

1. He knew their deepest needs:

a. Spiritually hungry

b. Spiritually thirsty

2. He also knew their uncertainties:

a. Their doubts

b. Their fears

3. He was most gracious.

a. He offered spiritual bread.

b. He offered living water.

LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE

Jesus knew that soon His work on earth would be done. He would have to die on the cross to provide salvation from our sins. His offer of living water had a deeper reference. It had to do with the future.

“But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive;
for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.” 

John 7:39

1. John’s explanation

a. John felt he had to explain what Jesus said (John 7:37-38).

b. At least two levels of thought may be found here.

i. Salvation is represented by the giving of living water.

ii. The work of the Spirit of God in the life of the believer after he has believed in Jesus.

2. The gift of the Holy Spirit

a. Those who believe in Jesus would be given the Holy Spirit.

b. He would have a number of roles to fulfil:

i. He would be a special Seal that we belong to God (Ephesians 1:13).

ii. He would be the Guarantee of our salvation (Ephesians 1:14).

iii. He would be deeply involved in the life of the believer (Romans 8).

c. The Holy Spirit would not be given till after Jesus was glorified (a reference to His resurrection).

经文: 约翰福音 7：39

耶稣,我们的大师

耶稣是有史以来最伟大的老师！祂了解每一位寻祂的人的心。祂知道以下关于他们的事情：

1. 祂知道他们最深切的需求：

a. 他们在属灵里饥饿

b. 他们在属灵里饥渴

2. 祂也知道他们心里的不安：

a. 他们的疑惑

b. 他们的恐惧

3.祂是最富恩典的

a. 祂提供属灵的粮

b. 祂提供活水

展望未来

耶稣知道很快地祂在世上的工作就将完成。祂必须死在十字架上才能从我们的罪中拯救我们。祂所提供的活水有更深的意义。这跟我们的未来有关。

“耶稣这话是指着信他之人要受圣灵说的。那时还没有赐下圣灵来，因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀。”

《约翰福音 7：39》

1. 约翰的解释

a. 约翰觉得他必须解释耶稣所说的话《约翰福音 7：37-38》

b. 我们在这里可以看到至少两个层次的思想

i. 赐予活水象征性地代表了救赎

ii. 信耶稣之后，上帝的灵会在信徒的生命里工作

2.圣灵的恩赐

a. 信耶稣之人将被赐下圣灵

b. 圣灵将履行许多职责：

i.圣灵是证明我们属于上帝的特别印记《以弗所书 1：13》

ii. 圣灵是我们救恩的凭据 《以弗所书 1：14》

iii. 圣灵会深入参与信徒的生命《罗马书8》

c. 耶稣得着荣耀后（这指耶稣的复活），才会赐下圣灵来
