John's Gospel, chapter 13.
First one now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was found, that he should be part out of this world unto the.
Father having left his own, which were in the world, he loved him until the end.
And some of the again did the devil, having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon son, to betray him.
Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he was come from God, and went to God.
Rises from supper and lay aside his diamonds, and took a towel and buried himself.
After that you poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples feet.
And the right thing with the towel where the he was buried.
Then come up Peter Simon Peters. And Peter said under him, Lord, just thou wash my feet.
Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now, that thou shalt know hereafter.
Even sayeth unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet.
Jesus answered him if I lost me not.
Thou has no fight with me.
Simon Peter sayeth, and again, Lord not my feet only.
Also in my hands, in my head.
Jesus said to him, He that is watched. He did not say to wash his feet, but is cleaning every great.
And ye are plain, but not all.
For he knew he should prepare him therefore.
We are not all faithful.
That's enough to be right now.
I would like to tonight.
Look at.
Many passages and this is just the first.
In the Gospel of John.
Following the.
The teaching of the Spirit of God in these chapters from 13 to 16.
The the subject is Christianity.
What is Christianity?
The Lord Jesus in this chapter.
He takes the position on time. It says Jesus knowing is free if the Father had given all things into his hands.
And that he was come from God and went to God. He rises from supper. So in the consciousness of having come from God and going back to God, he rises from supper. And he does a very significant thing. He takes a towel and rewards himself. He pours water into a basin and begins to wash the disciples feet.
I'm going to write them with the towel where Ricky was dirty.
Peter, very forward as always, says Lord does not wash my feet.
And verse 7 is very significant verse in this chapter. The Lord Jesus says to him, What I do that I know is not now that thou shalt know your action.
Well, that's a key to the understanding of what the significance of this heat washing is. Because what I do thou knowest not now that thou shalt know. Whoa after.
Activity and.
The Lord Jesus was about to go on high. He was about to take up a position in the glory.
He wasn't going to establish the Kingdom down here in power. He was going to be rejected.
And as a rejected one, to be received up into the glory.
And from that place in glory.
Today washing the feet of His disciples with again to our heaven, part with Him in the glory.
Or having part with himself was the one who rejected here and has been received and accepted.
Worry about so, he says. You don't understand, Peter, the significance of what I'm doing now, but you will understand it in a future day.
And then Peter say I thought to him. Gossip never washed my feet.
And when Jesus speaks of another.
Granted him and said, if I wash thee not, thou has no part with me.
Say no part in me, but no part with me.
And the point here is communion.
The Lord Jesus.
These chapters 13 through 17 and we won't have time to touch 17 tonight, but these textures which which end with the prayer of the Lord Jesus to his Father.
Puts us in his place.
Down here and then tells us of the consequences and results in the future for us and the desire was taught when you want to be living.
Well, here this is.
Begun by the significant activity.
And he says, if I don't wash you, Peter, you have been.
And isn't it a precious stock that the Lord Jesus desires?
He has saved us that he might have part with him and with him where he is.
Is now the glory, and this is really the setting that we have in John 13.
00:05:02
So in John 13, the Lord Jesus is preparing us for the place. He's preparing us for fellowship with Himself on high as the one who is there now in the glory, if I watch the map.
And then Peter.
To him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.
And that brings out another instruction.
The Lord says to Peter, evil is washed or bathed, washed all over, they needeth not saved to wash his feet.
Clean everywhere and we are playing but not all.
Believe the truth of that is that same truth that we have in the consecration of the priests in the Old Testament. When the priests were consecrated, they were washed all over. They were bathed some alcohol with a new bird.
And then there was the labor and.
They, as they appreciated in the priesthood, they used the labor to wash their hands and to watch their feet.
Here there's not a thing said about washing of their hands because in Christianity.
It's all from death, the Lord Jesus on the cross. Pride is finished and the gospel doesn't bring a work to do for the work to believe about the work already yet so all that is needed.
Now, now that the work has been accomplished by the work of the cross, the Savior on the cross. All that's needed now is as we walk through a defiling scene, we contract, we file them, we pick up all kinds of defilements, we pick up the ways of the world.
The habits of the world, I think we're very little aware.
Of how often the influences of the scene through which we're passing rub off on us and we become defiled by it. The Lord wants us to have fellowship with Himself and his new position on.
The glorified man at the right hand of God, and in order to do that we have to have the refinements of the way removed by his blessing heads.
He gives us a.
Feet and uses the water of the word.
To remove that which will hinder fellowship with himself. But it's not just the abstract thought of fellowship, but fellowship with himself and where he is.
As the man in the glory.
He wants us to enter into the.
Order with things.
Well, it says to Peter.
Even as washed or bathed needeth not saved to wash the speak. But his plea may be with we don't need the new birth to be repeated over and over again.
Point of God he has received.
Life and that's.
But we do pick up.
The requirements along the way and the Lord would be that.
Well the first point here is the Lord Jesus takes up his position on how many people come from.
When he was going to God, and in the consciousness of this, he introduces this significant.
To keep watching, which they did not understand at the time that he did it, but now that the Spirit of God has come.
He has given us to understand and to look back and interpret the act of the Lord Jesus here as significant of what He is now doing.
That is grace in the glory.
Watching the people, the disciples, removing the the.
Elements of the way as we go through a violent scene.
So in John 14.
Paying us for the.
For that new order of things, and you'll notice that all throughout these chapters 13 to.
The gaze of the disciples and the expectancy of the disciples from an earthly Kingdom. So they were Jewish disciples.
That's what they were looking for and he said he's telling them in a very beautiful great.
This way I'm going to be rejected here.
I'm not going to establish the Kingdom in power and glory. The Kingdom is going to be put in advance.
Instead, I'm going on high to introduce it all to get.
To that until after the skill was given on the day off Pentecost. But it's all here these chapters.
The instruction is here to leave there.
Thoughts from gymnastics, thoughts of a birthday, Kingdom, power and glory to a rejected Christ on high and then down here in this world for Him.
While he's there in heaven.
With himself on time while we are here.
Isn't it in the scene of this region?
00:10:00
Here to change the over the things down here, but we're rather here for him.
Manifest that life and believe Christ before those in and this is this is the blessed calling. Well here the first thing is that he wants our fellowship.
And so on high he uses the word of death.
By the Spirit of God to wash our feet to remove those things which hinder communion.
That we pick up as we go through this world, that we.
Appointment himself on time.
I am going to pass through over many of the verses because.
The only thing that I.
Cover tonight is just hello.
Outline of what's in these chapters.
So we'll have to.
Passover. Many verses.
He says.
He tells them about the betrayer.
A little farther down in chapter 13, verse 21, he says, burly, burly, I say unto you, that one of you shall be training. And they didn't know who it was. They grounded, and they looked one another.
And the last is about.
Verse 26 Jesus said you it is to whom I could give a sock when I had gift it and then he had dipped the sock, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
After the soft sitting edited to him, and then said, Jesus unto him, back, thou foolish too quickly.
And the verse 30 he then having received the stop.
Immediately out of the.
01 United was repeated soul.
That I do is too quickly.
As he had thrown out. And now this introduces the next two verses.
Therefore, verse 31 when he was.
Said now is the Son of Man glorified?
And God is glorified with him.
If God be glorified in him, God should also glorify him with himself.
Also straight way to glorify them. Well, that's the cross. God was glorified at the cross first.
He says now is the Son of Man Royal?
Also, you know, in the protection of obedience at the cross.
Below S life was.
And life is perfect obedience. You can say the Father has not left me alone, for I do always those things that please Him.
There was one that was down here that all my.
What a blessed 1 to contemplate.
That there came a time when He did that rule, not now on the Joe, the unclouded community with the Father's countenance, but in the face of divine react against sin. He did that will.
When all that was in God against sin was against was came out against him, because he was bearing our sins.
Cross now is the Son of Man, glorified, glorified in a path of absolute perfect obedience.
What is the glory of man?
The glorious man is to do the will of another.
And the Lord Jesus.
Into that position, you've taken the place of the.
And he'd become a man, and he was now the.
Place of obedience and.
It will sound yet lonely obedience.
By the things that he suffered. And so his obedience rose to a height of the cross, that it had never reached their.
In his life, but there he accomplished the Father's will.
And he cries out in the garden.
My father, it could be possible that this catastrophe.
Not even lesson with the flexion that was always serious. He says no.
My will assigned to death now is the Son of man glorified, and God was glorified of him, God and all His Majesty in all His Holiness.
And all his love and grace and mercy and compassion, all attributes of God.
And blindly, perfectly with the cross. I want to see what God is.
Infinite love for my soul and his absolute importance of sin because.
Only one place that I can recommend some thoughts.
Across and.
Now God there was glorified as to the whole question of human evil.
The whole question is said and then he. Then he goes on to say and if.
God be glorified in him and He.
He was God shall also glorify you in Indian.
In resurrection, raising and.
His own right hand and says straightway glorifying him. He didn't wait he was glorified immediately so the Lord Jesus having at the beginning of this chapter having.
00:15:05
Laid aside the town of the.
And supper lay aside his garments. You take it at the town, good for himself. Build himself and pour water duration, and take it. Put the towel and wipe their feet.
Symbolical of the act of what he's doing now as the glorified one on high here he.
Which is the foundation of it all.
Look at the thoughts and God being glorified not in verse 33 he says, yet a little while, little children, and I am wicked, you shall seek.
And as I said unto the Jews, whether I go, you cannot come.
So now I say to you.
I'm going to leave you.
And while I'm gone.
There's something that must characterize those that are.
Down here in the city.
That's what you have in verse 34.
Commandment I give unto you.
That she loved one another.
As I have left you that you also love one another.
By this should all let know that you and my disciples will give you.
Loved one to another, but a testimony that is.
There is this love amongst fishes.
Because they have the divine nature. Because they have eternal life, the very life of Christ.
And that life loves that nature loves. What's the difference between the command?
Of Moses and the commandments of Christ.
I believe.
The commandment of Moses.
For this the old man.
To do the things which he delights to do.
And it's an off guard beach.
The commandment of Christ is.
Instructs and directs and imparts energy.
To the new nature.
Christ says to the new nature, love one another now you can't command.
And a person to love you. That's exactly what the Lord Jesus says here. What's the meaning of it? What's the significance of it?
I can't go through someone and say I want you to love me, command you to love me. It just doesn't work that way. What's the meaning then of this new commandment?
The Lord Jesus encouraged to us.
Eternal life. You get that in John 17, the second verse.
I'll just read it.
A vow is giving him power over all flour.
That he should kill.
Total life as many.
As thou has given Him, and so from his place up high in the glory, he gives us eternal.
He gives us his very own life.
Nature, for He is the true God in eternal life.
And he had touched that life in nature to his own down here and then.
Gives us a commandment.
The commandment is really the directive of that new life, he says. I command you that you love one another. That's the very fullest that.
To do that's the very thing which is characteristic of the new nature.
So it's a law of liberty and it.
And the commandment of Christ is the directive imparting, energy inviting.
No ******* to it whatsoever. Completely the opposite.
Moses, which is prohibiting.
The old man from doing the very things which this nature.
You're saying to a man, and Moses says thou shalt not lust. You say to a man who has a nature that lusts, Thou should not be what thou art.
And that, of course, is impossible for them to carry on.
When Christ says love one another, he's saying thou shalt be what thou art because he's directed the new one.
Well, a new commandment I give.
One another he gives us is very much.
Nature, eternal life.
That eternal life that was with the Father and was manifested unto us, and had lived out in perfection in that man down here he is now born.
Now I see that eternal life in the pushing of the sun glorified it.
Then at the right hand of God, and he has given me and given to each of us who believe.
It is very light in nature and now he comes with the direction.
Activity of the nature one has said God in the essence of his being with.
Is light all of the activity of his name?
Is love and sometimes we sing? Is every act pure blessing? Is his attack and selling life? And how blessedly true that is.
That the activity of the.
00:20:01
Already temporalized, the behalf of Christ is to love one another, and so he says this is how the world will know and believe that.
I decided if you have love one to another and this is what ought to.
The Christian company.
His absence. So in verse 33 he tells them that he's good.
All the way. And he said I'm not going to be working much longer, but while I'm here, this is what is to characterize you.
And I'm not asking anything that's impossible because I'm going to give you my very own life in nature. And now here is that which were directed at A.
It might be an activity amongst you.
And we should only know if you're my disciples, if you have loved one to another.
Those words because the Lord had said that he was going away and noticing the word next verse Peter said after him, Lord give him.
Maloney said. I'm going away and all that killed Peter. Sold with grief, it is going to lose that blessed one in their midst.
What are you going with? Where are you going?
The Lord Jesus says, Whether I go Thou fence not fallen now that thou shalt follow me afterwards Peter said unto him, Lord, why can I follow thee now I lay down my life, that I say.
Let's go on into the next chapter and move along. In the next chapter, the Lord Jesus says, let not your heart be troubled. We believe in God.
What's the significance of those words?
We believe in God whom we have not seen.
We believe in one. That is faith. The exercise of faith is is laying hold of that which we have not seen with our eyes. That's faith.
And so he says, you believe in God, believe also in me. I'm leaving you. I'm going to take up a position in the glory, and you're going to have me as an object of faith just as much as.
You can touch me.
And you're safe.
God will be just as it is in me.
Believe in God, believe also in here many unfolds to let it all together.
Now place yourselves in the in the.
Position of these Jewish disciples was.
Up to these chapters have been all from the establishment of an earthly Kingdom in power and glory.
So much so will those thoughts ingrained in the Jewish mind that it acts wrong.
After all the instruction of these chapters where he seeks to make their thoughts heavenly.
And to to bring them into the realization that he wasn't going to establish the Kingdom.
Power here and exciting is going on high to them.
All together you are one of those things, a heavenly order of things.
You're going to become the head of a new creation. It is going to bring us into association with himself there, washing our feet so that we might have part with him there.
As the end of a new creation and he says down here, what's the characterize you is love.
We're going to have the same nature in life.
As myself.
As I walk down here.
And to be the expression in my absence.
Black nature and love.
Love 129 Well we know as we look around and we can't handle these words without.
Without.
That those who call themselves.
To do and to express.
What the Lord Jesus said, but in the 14th chapter.
We have something else, he says in my father's house or many Manchester. You remember that when he drove out the.
Changes of money in the temple and he made a storage of clothes and he drove them out and he said make that my father's house, a House of merchandise. They're the temple on earth that caused his father's house. But here it has an entirely different.
Heavenly Quotes.
He says in my father's house, he's talking about that body's house in the glory, not the one on earth now, not the temple on earth.
The bottom saw sometime are many branches. If it were not so I would have told you. I told to prepare a place for you to be.
Wonderful truth, he says. I'm not going to establish the Kingdom and power here.
Going there to prepare.
Place for you there in the Lord.
Now here with you and.
Aspirations and hopes.
This would qualify your earrings as a strange sound is lifting their game.
Heavenly.
Roll up there into a father's house outside to prepare a place for you. And then he comes out with another tree. He says if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again.
00:25:07
And received him unto myself.
Where I am, there you may be also.
That's just the opposite of what you get in X1 where it says when they saw the Lord Jesus going up to heaven, he left from the Mount of Olives what he meant again when he always stands, he gazing up into.
Having the same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so common light man as you have seen him go into heaven.
That is, He would come right back to this earth and establish the Kingdom in power and glory. But here he doesn't.
That way, he said. I'm going up there.
And they're prepared to replace on high and then coming back to receive you to myself.
Just the opposite. I'm not coming back to establish the Kingdom on Earth.
But I'm going to receive you to that, to those puts of light above in heaven. And so in John 13 he prepares us for the place, and in John 14 he prepares the place for us.
And he promises that having prepared that place, having ended the glory as a man, he's going to return to fetch us, to take us home to our proper place.
Christianity is heavenly. It's the.
Hopefully, and this is what he's doing in these chapters.
Lifting our gains the gates of these two.
Cycles for both the hopes to heavenly.
If I go prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself.
Where I am, there you may be also, and whether I go, you know, in the way you know.
Well, they really didn't understand that.
In Acts 1.
After all these instructions, the Lord Jesus appears to them as the wizard man. They say, would thou at this time restore again the Kingdom to Israel? They still have, Oakley hopes. They're still looking for an earthquake.
And even after all this instruction, of course, Acts One comes before the descent of the Spirit and the day of Holy Cross. Who will be willing to allow these truths?
But you could see how the all that the Lord was teaching them in these chapters of God.
They heard the words they.
Everything to them in the power of the spirit and as we look out over the pushing them today, you'll see even those who find the spirit of.
The true nature and characteristic of.
That it is not an ordinal things to be found.
Or to set the world straight, set the world right, but rather heavenly over the things headed up by the wisdom, glorified man on time.
Thomas said. We don't know where we're going.
Remember lovely scorpions?
Faster than I am the world.
Well.
A little farther in this chapter.
Models how is his foot if you love me, he.
My commandments model 2 Principles of a divine nature. The one is love. The new nature loves.
Level was the new nature of the.
Principle of obedience.
And love I would characterize as the new man if you were.
Love me, keep my commandments, welcome obedience.
Notice in the 15th chapter.
What you keep my commandments?
You should abide in my love.
Even if I respect my father's commandments.
And abide in this.
Chapter 1415 says if you love me, keep my commandments.
Chapter 15 says If you keep my commandments, you should abide in my love.
Love produces obedience, and when we walk in obedience, we divide. In his life we're reciprocal and they go together, and you can't have one without the other.
Can't really love in the power of activity the new nature.
By the Spirit of God, you can't live in love and be walking in a path of disobedience. That is not love.
Principle of love.
16 and chapter 14 and I will pray the Father and he shall give you another comfortable.
You told him that he was going to.
We think this over and over again in these chapters and it saddened their heads.
00:30:04
Now here he adds another tool.
Both themselves and growing up on that.
The significant acts of defeat, rushing symbol of what he's now doing, and the glorified man in heaven washing our feet that reminds that fellowship with himself.
Of the glorified one in heaven. And let me tell us in chapter 14 that He's prepared us a place.
And he said, I'm coming back to receive you to myself, to bring you to the place I prepare, and I'll come back to set up the Kingdom here.
Both of bringing you to your own bed.
And he's lifting our dreams heavenly.
What he now comes from, I'm not going to leave you alone.
And let me give you another subject.
In my absence, while we're here, I'm going to give you.
Everything you need.
Representative here in the city in my objection and so he said, I will pray the Father and we shall give you another comfortable, but he may abide with you forever.
The school was given.
Overtime I could say.
Time to time.
To plasma to sleep.
And then he was withdrawn from the.
Forever.
But here and so I will give you another country.
You have that same truth in town.
I'll just turn back to a round 3.
Verse 34.
Says for even Rob had sent.
Speaketh the words of God, for God giveth not restored by measure unto him. In the Old Testament the Spirit was given.
Came upon certain rounds and they spoke and then he was withdrawn. Somebody. But what characterizes Christianity that characterized the Lord Jesus as his pathway down here is that the Spirit of God was not given him. My measure.
Power.
And those.
For black people thought the score financial are too important have been habitable.
But leave it out for.
Google not the spirit by measure. That's what the Christianity.
Of God has been given in.
Power and he will never, maybe never, be taken from us. We cannot see him away.
Is not indwelling us because of any of our faithfulness. He's indwelling us because of the work of Christ, because there's a man in the glory and from that place in glory.
Never hope before.
The spirit of Truth.
In the world cannot be seen because it.
The Spirit of God would dwell in them.
In contrast with the Lord Jesus just being there for a short time and then going back to the problem.
The Lord Jesus when he was here below.
Was there for a short time.
And when he was not in one, but he was among them, here now we have what is characteristic.
Of the Christian testimony.
With you and shall be in you. I will not give you comfortable.
I will come to you, which is now pulled by the.
About Jesus comes.
The level of the trap door he says in those 26, but the comforter which is the Holy Ghost, when the Father will send in 9-8.
He shall teach you all things.
And bring all things to your remembrance. What's the weather I have set up to do?
In this verse.
All the trees of the Lord Jesus have presented to them.
He would bring them back to their remembrance.
What will be brought back to our remembrance? There's another verse, I believe it's in the 16th chapter, where he tells them that he will bring them into press food.
In chapter 16.
00:35:08
Well, spoke to him, he says I did. When he, the spirit of truth is found, He will guide you into all.
Even inside whatsoever actually.
And we will phone you from this department. Lord Chapter 14, He says he will bring all things to remember.
Whatsoever I have said unto you and run in chapter 16, he goes beyond that.
And says we will bring them into.
Donald leaves.
For things to be made at the cross. Peace I leave with you.
And while you were in this city?
In the 15th chapter.
And South of the turbine.
And my father is the most good man.
He says in verse 7, If you abide in me.
When my words abide in you, abiding in formless communion, His words abiding in us is indeed.
Independence of God, he says. He said. Ask what you want, and it shall be right unto you. You're almost like Father glorified, but you bear much fruit so.
What is the word?
This way is the reproduction.
In the life of a Christian and the life of Christ.
Many times it's applied to women's souls. I don't think that's the problem. I think the thought in food thing is.
Was the reproduction of the life Christmas in our lives?
And he goes, I have to say, if you keep my commandments verse 10.
We should abide in my love even as I affect my Father's commandments.
And a vine and dislike these people. I've spoken unto you, but my joy might remain in you.
And that will draw my control. And again we keep.
This is my commandment that you love one another.
As I have loved you.
Verse 16 says you have not chosen me.
But I have chosen you and ordained you.
But you should burn.
And that your privacy should be made.
The is to see Christ in prison to seek the price in our lives That's burying the and he says here is my father glorified that you.
The.
He says here it is my father glorified that she.
Very much proof this life tells you that you should.
And that's your food should be made.
Again, it says in verse 17, these things I command you that she loved one another. Can't speak there.
Is walking in love down here?
Lord always seeks the blessing of the child.
Love is the very painful places.
That light down here in the sea.
What's going to be the attitude of the world towards us?
Are we going to be affected by the world?
It was in the next verse.
You know that he sees it me.
But because you are not of the world.
But I have chosen you over the world, therefore the world people.
However, the world's system, this world was the head of the nations for a long.
And Jehovah, the name of the true God, was to be made known through that nation, and she was a part of all the other men.
As soon as the.
Remember the word that I said unto you.
Servant is not greater than his.
00:40:05
They have kept my saying they will keep yours also if we had an invention.
Of this world, if we have a religion of this world, we will not.
But we belong.
Rejected Christ, who belonged to love, whom the world will not have. And he goes on to explain it. He says that all these things will they do unto you.
Comments spoken unto them they had not that said, but now they have no quote for their sin.
You what? Hated me, my father.
That defines our place.
The emotion that the Lord Jesus has.
He finds our place perfect.
This one rejected it.
Will have financial success. Will have all your problems.
That's not at all what prescriptions teach.
In fact, when one comes to the Lord Jesus, sometimes his troubles be dear.
Because the world completes Christ.
And if you are true, witness.
If we really manifest the life of Christ, which is.
Now they both seemed and hated both me and my father. And so he put words.
These kids disciples.
Fellowship with himself on earth, he tells them that I'm going to prepare you for.
Love one another.
And their fruit.
Down here in the scene.
I've been rejected. You're going to meet with the patriot, the opposition, the persecution.
What's 25 but this coming to pass? But the word might be fulfilled what was written in their law.
They hated me without.
He should testify with me, and he also shall bear witness. Because you have been with me. Come to the beginning.
The 16th chapter, he continues.
Instruction, he says these things have.
This was strange to their ears because they were looking for a Messiah who would subdue all and.
And set up the Kingdom of power and glory in this world.
And say everything right.
The Lord I was preparing them for the acceptance of laws.
He says this is not going to be seen in my.
Answers were righteousness. Rather, righteousness will settle.
And that's what characterizes the present day. What characterizes today is that righteousness suffers.
Characterizes the internal scope. Is what?
Well, that's what we're headed for, but right now we don't expect.
I was talking to a brother and he became.
Somewhat angry at the Soviet justices that he.
Relating to me that were happening in this world and we feel that everyone.
The greatest injustice.
The greatest crime?
Was committed over 1900 years ago.
So they nailed the Lord Lord to that cross.
And they say crucify him.
00:45:04
In the 3rd chapter he says and this is at the end. Someone might say well.
What the Lord said here was true for the holy.
Christians, but once the world got the taste of Christianity.
And learn how good it was. It would be converted and changed.
Not so, Second Timothy is instruction for the last days, and there are the days in which we live in.
Sat upon the Son of God, and made it to that cross. And so he says, what time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will pick them due.
Ground service, these things will they do unto you because.
They have not known the father of me, but these things have I told you that when the time shall come, you may remember that I told you of them.
These things I said not have to do at the beginning because I was with you, but now I go my way.
To him looks at me, and none of you asketh me with the lowest thou.
And over and over again. Go on.
Raising the understanding from huge hopes to heavenly hopes with the Christian.
He says, But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow have pulled your heart.
We can understand that sorrow.
Just imagine.
Saw the compassion that he had for the multitude.
And now he says I'm leaving.
The head level winged it was still missing the blood.
Given to indwell them and to remain with them.
To empower them to look for him.
He said to dwell with you and he's going to die.
Will never be taken from.
He's going to dwell with you, and he's going.
What the Spirit would.
By his presence when he was here.
So if I go not away but.
This year as the constituted of.
The Christian testimony and this is what characterizes Christianity, the Spirit of God in dwelling us.
Well, he said. Well, he was cut.
He will improve the world of sin.
The new translation.
To the world and sin and righteousness, and of judgment, three things. That is the very presence in this world of the Spirit of God is a demonstration.
Foods sin.
Righteousness and judgment.
Presence in this world. It's not so much what he's doing when here, but the fact that he is here.
Is a demonstration of the sin of the world in rejecting.
Of the righteousness of God, and exalting him to his own right and in heaven, and of the judgment which is about to fall on this godless world, you can.
Prince of this world.
The presence, hearing of the Spirit of God. The Spirit.
On the cross and crucified him. And so the presence of this word Spirit of God.
The cross.
And so the presence of the Spirit of God is a demonstration of the sin of the world and.
Rejected price because they believe not on me.
And of righteousness.
Because I go to my Father, and you see me no more lovely God, and say that work that his Son did on the cross.
00:50:06
So it's a demonstration of the righteousness of God's righteous answer to the work of Christ. We write in John 14 that was the Son of man. Glorifying God is God.
Glorified as nowhere else.
Of the crops. And so God has answered that word, and rose, and exalted his Son.
The display of his righteousness and so forth. Man's wickedness.
In rejecting Christ, God's righteousness is demonstrated by the Spirit being here in the resulting Christ to his right hand, and the last thing he says of judgment for celebrity.
Man did what he did.
As led by sin.
And I'm sure that these truths that.
I went to get it tonight and that knew that you know them well, but I find it so refreshing to just trace the development.
Who indwells and to demonstrate his very presence here.
The world sin to reject Christ, righteousness of God and exalted, and the fact that this is a judge scene. God is not seeking to improve this world.
In John 17, the Lord Jesus says, I pray not for the world, I pray for the.
Trying to improve the world, getting involved in the politics of the world, getting involved in the social reforms of the world, getting involved in all these things to change the course of this world system, they're all together missing.
That's not really good. We're here to bear fruit. We're here to manifest.
Love one another and in that love to display what God is to a world that won't have it. And then to win, of course as many as we can, but that's that's a sovereign work.
But if we added into the truth.
It starts from much activity in in areas where many have spent much of their time trying to get involved. This is a common expression today.
Well, and it's going to try to improve a scene which is under the judgment of God. This sentence has been pronounced.
This is not a scene on file. It was on file for 4000 years, but the.
Cross ended the history.
And his relation to the world he did.
If we understand this, and I'm sure I represent anything rude to me, but.
We would be kept from expecting the world's improvement.
And getting involved in areas and activities that.
Oh 14 when I close when he is, but then however when he, albeit when he was scared of truth, is fine.
He will guide you through all truth.
We shall not speak and find himself she.
00:55:11
Budget.
Or is it an excitement? Is it an emotional frenzy?
It passes like that.
And the Spirit of God never draws attention to Himself.
The Spirit of God never draws attention to Himself.
Always brought the hot out to Christ.
He's here in the capacity of his servant.
And there were so many movements where they talk about the work of the Spirit within them. They're occupied even with the work of the Spirit again.
Each shall glorify me, and the Doctor praise.
But they talk about the wonderful meeting we had last night, how we got happy and how we enjoyed long amongst ourselves. And it's all about themselves, it's all about some emotion and feeling that they had.
That the Spirit of God doesn't testify.
And the mark of the spiritual man.
One who never talks about himself.
Jesus Christ and let us never make a mistake.
This is my beloved son, here, here.
And when the cloud lifted, they found no thing.
Whom have we learned but thee?
Soul Boost to satisfy.
A grassless spring. The wall is free. All of those things are dry 150.
