John 13:34. The Lesson In Its Setting Time.--The entry into Jerusalem t0«ic place on Sunday, April 2, A.D. 3B. The discourse that followed took place on Tuesday, April 4. The entire entire scene o£ the washing of the disciples' disciples' feet took place on Thursday evening, April 6. Placé.-- The triumphal entry was m&de as Christ came over the Mount b£ Olives on the east of Jerusalem. The washing of the disciples' feet took place, of course, in the upper room in Jerusalem. 29 Now there wore certain Greeks among those that went up to worship at the feast. These were Gentiles, éitiisens from. Hellas, or their descendants descendants living throughout the Mediterranean, Mediterranean, world who had become proselytes proselytes of the Jewish faith and, once a year when possible, carne up to Jerusalem, Jerusalem, in order to worship there at ihe feast as the Hebrews worshipped. 21. These therefore came to Philip, jfho was of Bethsaida of Galilee. They came to Philip "not only because he had a Greek name, and therefore presumably presumably belonged to a family in which Greek was spoken and Greek connections connections cultivated, but because, being of Bethsaida of Galilee, he might be expected expected to understand and speak Greek, if, indeed, he was not already known to these strangers in Jerusalem." And asked him, saying, Sir, we would" Béé'Jésus. At the birth of Jesus, wise men came from the East to behold the Lord (Matt.. 2:1-12); now, at the e".i tit our Lord's public ministry, 1 litre came men from the West, speaSjng the language identified, with UArning and scholarship, asking Vast they might see Jesus. 82. Philip coineth .and teileth Andrew: Andrew: Andrew conyélli, and Philip, and they tell JesiisJ "Andrew" is another another Greek na®6, "Andrew solves Ms difficiilty jsf the way in- which all ties of disciples are resolved, réfèfâ ng thefn to Jesus himself." 2$. And Jesus answereth them, saying, The hour is come, that the Soil of man should be glorified. Previously Previously it has been said that "his htiur'* had not come (2:4; 7:30; 8:20). The hour in the life of Christ was the hour of his death (13:1; 16:32; 17:1). - of course not a literal time of sixty minutes, but, nevertheless, a brief period. 24, Verily, verily, 1 say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alêne.; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. There are four things that can happen to a grain of wheat: it can be hoarded, with the possibility of ultimate ultimate destruction by mould, mildew, or rust; it can be immediately com Shined, in various forms, especially as bread; it can be ignored, and therefore therefore lost for all purposes ; or it can be sown in the,, ground, thus multiplying multiplying itself, the highest use to which . if can be put. 26. He that ioveih his life ldseth it; awl he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. The word twice translated "life" in the first part of this verse is the word "jpsuche" (from which comes our word "psychology"), a word that includes all man's mental, sensual being; the word, translated "life" at the end of the verse is the word "zoe," a word referring to the higher life which is in men, .the spirit. "Self-love leads to destruction and death. Prom beginning beginning to end of his earthly history, Jejps laid down his life for men. 36, If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I .aim, there Shall also by servant be: if any mail ser.ye me, Mm. will the Father honor. Christ himself is the great example of denying one's own life; if we are to...truly serve the Lord, then, in Ms sacrificial ideal, we are to follow him, with, the result that whoever serves the Son, will 1 be honored by the Father. Father. 27. Now is my soul, troubled; and What sÿall 1 say" Father, save me from this hour. But for this cause came ï unto this hour. There is no shrinking from the cross here, but a glorious determination to endure it in the -consciousness that, for that hour, lie had come into the world. 28. Father, glorify thy name, There came therefore a voice out of heaven, Baying, I have both glorified It, and Will glorify it again. "It Is the highest highest utterance of faith, love, and hope, that whatever experience of pain is ordained, the outcome may he all to the glory of the name of God." 29. The multitude therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that, it I ï thundered: others said, An angel hath spoked to him. "For tk: mass the voice was mere sound. The apprehension apprehension of a divine voice depends upon upon man's capacity for hearing: Others felt that the utterance was articulate, though they could not hear the words." 30. Jesus answered and said, This voice hath not come tor my sake, but for your sakes. "The voice came to test their faith and to str ngthen it; and, at the same time, to make clear the importance of the crisis revealed by the Gentile request." 31. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. "The passion was the judgment of the world, , nick showed both men's thoughts " towards Christ, and the true position of the world towards God. Jew and Gentile are alike included in the sentence." 32. And I. "The position of 'I' is very emphatic, and Christ, by this phrase, places himself in opposition to the 'prince of this world.' The crucified crucified Christ will rule men's hearts in place of the devil." If I be' lifted up from the earth. Probably this phrase has a double meaning, and includes both the lifting up of Christ from the„ earth on the cross, and Ms subsequent going up from the earth into heaven, at his ascension. Will draw all men unto myself. "The words emphatically emphatically prove that the cioss is C e basis of Christ's sway over all whom he brings out of Satan's empire and draws to himself as Lord. In the phrase, T will draw,' Christ clearly intimates that, though crucified, lie was not to abide in death, but was soon to live, and set up a kingdom, drawing suh- jvc < uibrHtV >_ ■_ 33. But this he said, signifying fix what manner of death he should die. This verse -is certainly added by the author-af the Gospel, John the apostle. (See Phil. 2:8). Christ's insistence upon his death provoked a reasonable question oil the part of the Jews who were listenning to him, for they believed believed that the Christ who should come would be the .king of an eternal kingdom, and hence, of course, be eternal. (See Dan. 7:13, 14; Psalm HO.) There seemed a contradiction between an eternal Christ of God, and a suffering Messiah who must die. 34. A new commandment I give unto unto you, that ye love one another; even as I have loved you, that-ye also love one another. "There is a sense in which it was not a new commandment. commandment. In the Mosaic economy the word is found, 'Thou shalt love thé Lord thy God with -all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind'; 'and thou shalt love tliy neighbor neighbor as thyself' (Lev. 19:18; Dent. 30: 6). Thjs word for 'new' means some- tli.ing that is fresh, as opposed to that, which is effete. *1 am giving you,' said Jesus, 'a command that is new in its inspiration. 35. By tills all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. It is certainly by our belief belief jn Christ that we become, his disciples, disciples, but it is by our love for one another that "we become known to others as the disciples of Christ.
