The Light of the World (John 8:12)
Jesus has just allowed the adulterous woman to go free. She acknowledged her guilt by staying at His feet, and He has told her to go and sin no more. Jesus now addresses the crowd that has witnessed this event. Jesus is the light of the world Jesus is emphatic that the woman was delivered from death because of Who He is. There is no focus on the woman or what she has done. Salvation is only in Who Jesus…
Do You Really Know the Truth? (John 7:40-53)
After Jesus’ teachings during the Feast of Tabernacles, there is much debate about who Jesus is. Many people believe that He is the Messiah. Others contend that He is not the Messiah, but a false teacher who is deceiving the people. The Pharisees even send soldiers to arrest Jesus, but they return empty handed. When the Pharisees ask the soldiers why they did not arrest Jesus they reply that they had never heard anyone teach like He taught. The Pharisees…
The Thirst of the Soul (John 7:37-39)
Every day during the Feast of Tabernacles water was poured out in the Temple. Although we are not certain as to why this took place, it is surmised that the water was poured out as an offering to the Lord at the beginning of the rainy season as a prayer that the Lord would pour out rain on their dry lands. All men are thirsty We have been created for God, and as such our souls are thirsty and can…
Jesus’ Resurrection
We know the importance of Jesus’ death on the cross, but the whole of the Christian faith hinges on His resurrection from the dead. In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and…
Jesus’ Death
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from…
Do You Know God? (John 7:25-29)
The longer Jesus talks, the more the Jews dislike Him. He is continually pointing out that they are not right with God, and that He is the only way for them to be right with the Father. The Jews are surprised at Jesus’ boldness The Jews want to kill Jesus, and Jesus knows this. However, Jesus continues to boldly speak the truth. This amazes the Jews. People who are walking in the light have no problem speaking the truth openly.…
Jesus the Messiah
We now look at Jesus as the Messiah and the fulfillment of every Old Testament prophecy and type. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. And Jesus, when he was…
Satisfied by Jesus (John 4:1-32)
Jesus here meets the Samaritan woman at the well. She comes at a time when no other women are there, indicating that she was probably an outcast of her society. Jesus speaks to those society rejects This woman has been apparently rejected by the women in her society, presumably because of her going from man to man. Also, Jews did not speak to Samaritans. However, Jesus is the Friend of Sinners, so He begins a conversation with her. Jesus speaks…
The Priesthood
After looking at the Tabernacle, the next question is what about the High Priest? If God’s eternal purpose was that anyone who believed in Jesus could enter His presence, why did He incorporate the Levitical priesthood? For verily he took not on him the nature of angels; but he took on him the seed of Abraham. Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest…
Love is a Choice to Suffer (John 6:66-71)
Jesus chose Judas Of all the people that Jesus could have chosen, He chose Judas Iscariot to be His disciple. This choice is not for salvation (election) but to be one of His closest friends. Jesus chose to spend several years pouring into Judas’ life. Jesus knew Judas would betray Him Jesus knew the true state of Judas’ heart. He knew that he was the one who would betray Him to His death. Jesus knew that Judas was a wolf…

Jesus is Life (John 6:22-36)
As we look back in depth at John 6 we must remember that the people who are coming to Jesus for food think that they are already right with God because of their works. In their minds they already have eternal life because of everything that they have done. They are only coming to Jesus for food. Works will never save us Jesus tells them that everything that they have done is going to perish. They are seeking things that…
