Lent – Day 30 – Bible Study
.
The reference to “the Son of Man” being “lifted up” is the first
of three lifted up sayings in John 3:14-21, John 8:28 “Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have
lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do
nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.”. All three speak of the future “lifting up” of the Son of Man in
double meaning, first is, John 8:28 “Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up
the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of
myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.” and Isaiah 52:13 “Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted
and extolled, and be very high.” And second is, John 12:32 “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men
unto me.” , John 12:33 “This he said, signifying what death he
should die.” The reference in
this verse Invokes Moses’ lifting up the serpent in the wilderness so that
everyone who had been bitten by a poisonous snake and looked at the serpent in
faith was healed, Numbers 21:8-9 “And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent,
and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is
bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live. 9 And Moses made a serpent of
brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had
bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.”. The third and final lifting up saying John 12:32 “And I, if I
be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.” Emphasize that the lifting up of the Son of Man refers to Jesus’
Crucifixion John
12:33 “This he said, signifying what death he should die.” And the similar reference to Peter’s martyrdom.
We saw in Numbers 21:4-9 the God directed Moses to make a snake image and mount it on a
pole. As an antidote for those who had been bitten by these snakes. Those who
look at the snake image would be
healed-by faith in God’s provision, not by faith in grave serpent. Because it
was God who generously did the healing, it was neither idolatry or nor magic.
Just as those Moses time looked upon these snake and were healed, those who
look in faith to the Christ who was lifted up on the Cross will be healed of
their sins. Those who looked upon Him
and believed in Him would have eternal life, John 3:14-16 “And as Moses lifted up the serpent in
the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up 15 That whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. 16 For God so loved
the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life.”.
God, out of love, gave
His only begotten Son so that everyone who believes in His will have eternal
life. John’s favorite designation for Jesus is “SON SENT BY THE FATHER”. (See John 3:34,36, John 5:19-26, 6:40, 8:35-36, 14:13,17:1). The only begotten word used to convey the unique relationship
between God the Father and Jesus as the Son of the Father. It serves to differentiate
Christ as the only Son of God, in contrast with many Children of God. The
uniqueness of this relationship is further emphasize by the fact that WE BECAME
THE CHILDREN OF GOD whereas JESUS ASLWAYS WAS THE SON OF GOD, though unique in
His relationship to God, Jesus is describe here as “first born” among many
brethren, Colossians
1:18 “And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.”. Romans 8:17 “And if
children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that
we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” Heirs, those who already entered, at least partially into the
position of their inheritance. Co-heir with Christ Jesus. Everything really belong
to Christ, but by grace we share in what is His. If so be that we suffer with
Him. It is not that there is some doubt about sharing Christ’s glory. Rather,
despite the fact that Christians presently suffer, they are ASSURED a future
entrance into their inheritance.
1 Peter 1:3-12
Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath
begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from
the dead,
4 To an inheritance
incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for
you,
5 Who are kept by the
power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last
time.
6 Wherein ye greatly
rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through
manifold temptations
7 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold
that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and
honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ
8 Whom having not seen,
ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory
9 Receiving the end of
your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
10 Of which salvation the
prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace
that should come unto you
11 Searching what, or
what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it
testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should
follow.
12 Unto whom it was
revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things,
which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you
with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to
look into.
John 3:14-21
And as Moses lifted up
the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up
15 That whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but
that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned but he that believeth
not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only
begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the
condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather
than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that
doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should
be reproved.
21 But he that doeth
truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are
wrought in God.
John 5:24-30
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and
believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is,
when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and they that hear shall
live.
26 For as the Father hath
life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27 And hath given him
authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28 Marvel not at this for
the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his
voice,
29 And shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have
done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
30 I can of mine own self
do nothing as I hear, I judge and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine
own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Ephesians 2:4-10
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead
in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up
together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus
7 That in the ages to
come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us
through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves it is the gift of God
9 Not of works, lest any
man should boast.
10 For we are his
workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before
ordained that we should walk in them.
We all sinned n deserve GOD’s judgment, but our loving FATHER, GOD sent HIS only begotten SON to satisfy that judgment for those who believe in HIM. JESUS, our LORD who lived a sinless life, loves us so much that HE died for our sins, taking the punishment that we deserve, was buries n rose from the dead according to the Holy Bible. If you truly believe n trust in your heart, receiving JESUS alone as your SAVIOUR, declaring (by Baptism) JESUS is The LORD n SAVIOUR, you will be SAVED from the judgment n spend ETERNITY with GOD in HEAVEN….
In The name of our LORD JESUS CHRIST.. Amen
