Appealing to the Miraculous Works

Text: John 10: 37-39

APPEALING TO THE MIRACULOUS WORKS

Once again, Jesus appealed to the many works that He had done. Would the Jews not respond to the significance of such powerful signs?

“‘If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe
that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.’ Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand.”

John 10:37-39

1. Jesus offered to the Jews a clear line of reasoning

a. “If I do not do the works of My Father”
i. They may examine His works thoroughly.
ii. They may ask Him any number of questions.
iii. If it can be proven that Jesus was not doing the works of God the Father.
b. “Do not believe Me”
i. The Jews need not believe in Jesus if He did not do the works of His Father.
ii. Jesus would not compel anyone to have faith in Him if He had failed to do His Father’s will.

2. “But if I do, though you do not believe Me”

a. Jesus knew that the Jews did not believe in Him.
b. He sought to show them how they may have faith in Him through studying His works.

3. “Believe the works”

a. The works of Jesus were really signs from God.
b. These miracles were not common deeds.
c. The works of Jesus truly compels belief, that is, faith.

4. “That you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him”

a. Knowledge is essential.
b. Knowledge of the works of Jesus will help them to believe in Him.
c. The Father was truly in Jesus; and the Lord Jesus was in the Father!

5. “Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He escaped out of their hand”

The Jews reacted typically. They rejected this explanation given. Instead they sought to arrest Jesus, but He escaped out of their clutches.

经文：约翰福音 10：37-39

以神迹来呼吁

耶稣再次强调祂所行的神迹。难道犹太人们对如此强大神迹的意义没有反应吗？

“‘我若不行我父的事，你们就不必信我。我若行了，你们纵然不信我，也当信这些事，叫你们又知道又明白：父在我里面，我也在父里面。’他们又要拿他，他却逃出他们的手走了。”

《约翰福音 10：37-39》

1. 耶稣解释给犹太人们说

a. “我若不行我父的事”
i. 他们能够彻底观察确定祂的事工
ii. 他们能问祂任何问题
iii. 若他们能证明耶稣不是在行上帝父神的事
b. “你们就不必信我”
i. 若耶稣不行父神的事，犹太人并不需要相信祂
ii. 倘若耶稣没有行父神的事，祂就不会强迫他人相信祂

2. “我若行了，你们纵然不信我”

a. 耶稣知道犹太人们并不相信祂
b. 但祂尝试叫他们通过查探祂行的神迹，来相信祂

3. “也当信这些事”

a. 耶稣所行的事真是来自上帝的神迹
b. 神迹并非普遍的事
c. 耶稣所行实在会让人相信，得到信心

4. “叫你们又知道又明白：父在我里面，我也在父里面”

a. 知识是必要的
b. 知道耶稣所行的事能帮助人们相信祂
c. 父神在耶稣里面，主耶稣也在父神里面！

5. “他们又要拿他，他却逃出他们的手走了”

犹太人们的反应没变。他们还是拒绝了耶稣的解释。他们还想捉拿祂，但祂却逃出他们的手。
