Angrier and Angrier

Text: John 8: 52-53

ANGRIER AND ANGRIER

The more the Jews heard Jesus, the angrier they got. Their rejection of Jesus and His teaching was very definite and strong.

“Then the Jews said to Him, ‘Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death’ . Are You greater
than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?’” 

John 8:52-53

1. “Then the Jews said to Him”

a) They were going to debate with Jesus.

b) They were out to refute Him.

c) They took what Jesus said to task.

2. Resorting to insult

a) Again, they accused Jesus of having a demon.

b) But accusations are empty if they cannot be substantiated.

c) How would they be able to prove that Jesus had a demon?

3. Misunderstanding what Jesus said

a) What was this death that Jesus spoke about?

b) Was it really physical death He referred to?

4. Twisting what Jesus said

a) They took His words in a very wooden way.

b) They took Him literally.

c) They cited the death of Abraham and the prophets.

5. Taunting Jesus

a) Are You greater than Abraham and the prophets of God?

b) The Jews did not think very much of Jesus at all!

6. “Who do you make Yourself out to be”

a) They thought poorly of Jesus.

b) They had rejected Him as the Messiah who was certainly greater than Abraham and the prophets.

经文: 约翰福音8：52-53

越发地愤怒

犹太人越听耶稣的教训，他们越是愤怒。他们很明确和强烈地拒绝耶稣和祂的教训。

“犹太人对他说：‘现在我们知道你是鬼附着的。亚伯拉罕死了，众先知也死了，你还说‘人若遵守我的道，就永远不尝死味’。难道你比我们的祖宗亚伯拉罕还大吗？他死了，众先知也死了。你将自己当做什么人呢？ ’”
