Chapter 1 Verse # 4 In Him was Life and the Life was the Light of
men
2. His Life is a different kind of Life than that which He createsHis Life

(1-31-14)
Who has the authority to give His Life (PHS) to whoever He determines is
WORTHY of it. WORTHINESS is determined by the recipients willingness to
REPENT of His disobedient ways, BELIEVE into the LORD JESUS CHRIST
that He was delivered for their offences and was raised for their justification
be TRIED AND TESTED and be BAPTIZED by the HOLY SPIRIT AND FIRE
and be conformed to the IMAGE of Gods dear Son. Having met these
qualifications he or she will be added to the Lambs Book of Life and admitted
to that city of cities, the NEW JERUSALEM whose gates are never shut at
all by day: for there shall be no night (darkness) there. And they shall bring
the glory and the honor of the nations into it. And there shall in no wise
enter into it anything that defileth, neither whosoever worketh abomination,
or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lambs Book of Life. (Rev.
21:25-27)
4. Jesus Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will continue working
through His
Church (His Body) His Nation (Israel) to bring all nations (all creation) unto
PHS life. Once this has been accomplished GOD WILL HAVE BECOME ALL
IN ALL
at which time the Son (The Lord Jesus Christ) will turn the entire (WORLD
WIDE KINGDOM) over to the FATHER, who will then have not only a model

universe from which to order all creation,
but will have a vast number of

Verses # 6-9 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. The
same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through
him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
that Light
-
A man sent from God John was sent (as a prophet) to bear witness of the
Light. He preached repentance as did the prophets of old (Isaiah,
Jeremiah, Ezekiel, etc.) but he was also the revealer of the Logos that
WORD which was made flesh and dwelt among us.
His goal was to prevent the forces of darkness from bringing down the
Light. He came to sting the apathy and to disturb the self complacency of
the darkness
He came to provoke the darkness by revealing the fact that Light was
continually shining it could not be dismissed nor would it as did all
the prophets before him

same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through
him might believe. He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of
that Light
- He was the last of a good fellowship of prophets who bore witness to the
Light of Life
which had its being in the eternal Logos of God
- He came as they had all come, with a view of producing far greater results,
than as a
matter of fact, they have actually achieved.
- He came to bear such testimony that all through him, i.e. by the
force of his appeal or
by the fierce glow thus cast upon the perils and follies of the hour,
might believe
might realize the full significance of the Light which hitherto they
had refused to
accept.
- The splendid ministry of the burning and shining lamp might have led all

Israel to repentance; however, in the plan
of God it was not to be for He

John 8:1-15
Vs. 1-4 Brought unto Him a woman, taken in adultery the very act..
(See John 4: 15-18, and Hebrews 13:8) Jesus Christ the same yesterday,
today and forever.
Point 1 Were the scribes and Pharisees the witnesses or the accusers? Did they
witness the act, or did they hear of it? It should be noted that adultery was
common and that this charge was rarely, if ever brought before the Sanhedrin who
lacked the judicial power to enforce the death penalty. The Sanhedrin were under the
judicial power of Rome, having become (as the other citizens of Jerusalem) a
subjugated people to the Romans.
Point 2 It should be noted that the man who committed the act is not present..
Vs. 5 -9 Tempting Him, that they might have to accuse Him..He wrote on the
ground.. This was a symbolic display of indifference to the entire matter.
Jesus calmly ignored the
matter before Him, knowing within Himself that the individuals involved were
not interested in
justice or mercy, but that their motive was driven by the deceitful desire to
dishonor His office as
The Prophet. Surely, The Prophet would uphold the law to insure that
justice was carried out.

(8-6-14)
John 8:1-15
Vs. 10 11 Sin is not condoned, God did not condemn (For God sent not His Son into

the world, BUT that the world through Him might be saved) BUT God did
acknowledge the
transgression and require that the individual change their behavior go
and sin no more.

(8-13-14)
John 8:15-23
Vs. 17 it is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true
Note the comparative to vs. 16 where Jesus refers to the fact that He is not
alone, but it is I and the
Father. Consequently, the (two men) of vs. 17 may also be a reference to vs. 16.
Vs. 18 I am the one that bear witness of Myself I have said it, and abide by it, and I
know what I say and
how fully I am fulfilling these words and the Father which hath sent me
beareth witness concerning
me.
His Words reflected His Own Divine self-consciousness. The bore one witness to His
unique position. They brought out the inner life of Christ, and revealed the Light that was
Life. The Word and the speech of Christ was a fire that could never be extinguished it
was the formal utterance of the eternal reality, BUT it did not stand alone. The Father
that sent Him, by a long chain of events and revelations, by miracles, by the
confirmation of prophetic utterances from the past as well as the convicting influence in
the lives of those that heard Him were sufficient to prove His point I and My Father
are one..We see the mind of the Father and the mind of Christ revealed in One person,
even Jesus.
Vs. 19 Their angry retort Where is thy Father? You have born witness concerning
this unique witness and
relationship that You have with the Father,

John 9: 1-12
Vs. 1 -2 Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind
- Here the idea is presented that sin results in physical defects, illness or
death. While this is true ALL
have sinned, so therefore, by this reasoning ALL SHOULD HAVE A PHYSICAL
defect, which they do
BLINDNESS. In this case physical blindness is used to as an adjunct for
spiritual blindness.
See Deut. 28: 58-62, 1 Corinthians 11: 27-32
Vs. 3 But that the works of God should be manifest in him. WOW!~ This should be a
HUGE encouragement to

GOD to be manifest in us. (See 2 Corinthians 4: 1-12)

conditions)

country.
Mark 6:4 A prophet is not without honor, but in
his own country, and
among his own kin, and in his own
house.
There is nothing in Johns writings to suggest that Jesus said He was a prophet,
but this statement may have resulted from what others said about Him, following the
miracle, or that others heard Jesus declare the words above, which may have been
communicated to the blind man.
Vs. 18 -21 He shall speak for Himself. Why?

Vs. # 22 The Feast of Dedication (This was the celebration of Hanukkah)
In 168 B.C. the temple of the Jews was seized by the Syrian Greek soldiers
and dedicated to the
worship of the god Zeus. In 167 B.C. Antiochus made the observance of
Judaism a capital offence.
The soldiers forced the Jews to bow down to their idols and to eat swine. The
High Priest Mattathias
refused, drew a sword, and killed the Greek officers that were present. He
then fled to the mountains
with a band of men who joined forces with him. The rebels became known as
the Maccabees or
Hasmoneans. Once the Maccabees had re-gained control of the temple, they
purified it using the
oil of dedication, which was used in the offering of animals and the
observance of temple rituals. The
menorah was lit and the oil, which was only to last one day, lasted eight
days. The temple was
dedicated on the 8th day.

(2/3/15)
John 14: 15 - 27
Vs. # 15 If ye love Me, keep My commandments
I. Obedience as a natural consequence of our love
Individual: where there is true love, there is rarely the need for a command, for love
follows or flows like a
stream into a river or as light from the sun. It is natural, peaceful The
Eagles 1972 A peaceful
easy feeling (Matt. 11:29)
Nationally: where there is national love, there is the implementation and application of
His commandments,
statutes and judgments. Emotions and feelings are set aside and are
replaced by rigorous
enforcement of the Divine Law. The result Evil is crushed, society
flourishes, peace, prosperity and
divine health ensue, resulting in a Thankful, Humble, and Helpful people.
Where there is love to Christ:
1. There is recognition of His Divine authority
Authority brings with it, the right or power to command. Love recognizes that
authority and submits to it.
Authority over community, state, nation and of course the individual. As it relates to
the individual, authority
over the heart, the mind, the will, the life if you will, both physical and spiritual.
53
(2/3/15)
John 14: 15 27
4. The recognition of His Authority is thorough and comprehensive
Love treats little things with the same importance as BIG things; love makes no
determination between them. True love is wise and is able to discern between good and
evil. Love recognizes that the law is good and right and that any transgression of it is an
affront to the Lawgiver. It recognizes that The devil is in the details and that sin is
deceptive; it also recognizes that the little sin that is left unchecked, blossoms into a
flower with seeds that perpetuates itself. Repentance is swift and continuous. Love is
loyal to Him behind His back, so even if He is not present as King, to the individual and
to the nation His laws are more to be desired than gold, and sweeter than the
honeycomb.
(Psalm 119:
II. Love to Christ as the necessary basis of obedience to Him (The love of God has been
shed abroad in our
hearts by the Holy
Spirit Who is GIVEN unto us.)
1. Obedience must be real and must spring from a change in heart
Obedience that does not spring from a heart of gratitude is empty and vain. (1
Corinthians 13) if our love
does not have it origin in the death, burial and resurrection of the Savior, it is no
love at all.
2. Obedience must be easy and delightful
Obedience which springs from fear, torment or custom is not love.Love delights to

Vs. #16 and I will ask the Father the word ask in Greek is used of an asking which

inferior to a superior and He will give.make or give a Divine manifestation of His
Spirit. Give to you as a possession, another paraklete (helper) that He may be with you
forever.
The NASB translates uses the word HELPER whereas the KJV uses Comforter. Some of
the early translations including the Septuagint use the word consolation; however, the
word in the passive form denotes one called in or one called to the side of another to
help in anyway, but especially in legal proceedings and criminal charges so that the
word Advocate or Pleader in us and for us is generally accepted by the modern
translators.

Notes from the Wycliffe Commentary What the faith of the disciples should encompass is
now set forth in its simplest and boldest outline. The first half of the statement had been
affirmed by one or more of the group
See: Matthew 16:16, Also, John 3:1-3 ; the second part deals with the burden of the
