2 | WHY WAS JESUS | John 11:15 | Ray | 17797 | ||
Hi There, "That you may believe" is the reason for His delay and it was also the reason that He prayed aloud to the Father in verse 42. "I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.*" "...and I* am glad for your sakes that I was not there". He wasn't glad for the sakes of Mary and Martha but for the disciples sakes, that they might believe. Martha believed didn't she; verse 21, "Lord, if You* had been here, my brother would not have died." Jesus believed;verse 25, "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me* will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this? Mary believed; verse 32, "Lord, if You* had been here, my brother would not have died. Both Martha and Mary believed in the Teacher* of verse 28. They believed as some of them said in verse 37, "Could not this (Man), who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?" The chief priests and the Pharisees were afraid that everyone would believe in Him* and they would lose their power. ***A comparison of verse 26 and verse 50 is worthwhile if you believe in the Man, Jesus. Do you believe this? This Man is performing many signs; verse 52, "and not for the nation only, but in order that He might also gather together into one the children of God who are scattered abroad." |

Hi Ray, This is what I said in the first post: "So He could show them He truly did come from the Father by raising Lazarus from the dead. ("that you may believe" - same verse)" I'm not sure how you interpreted the above as me saying that it was for Mary and Martha's sake, but I still believe Jesus was glad that He was not there to heal Lazarus because He knew He would use the "raising of Lazarus from the dead"... so that they (people) would believe that He truly did come from the Father. And "that you would believe - same verse" was my reference as to Jesus' reason for doing it the way He did it. And could you rephrase your question because I don't understand exactly what you were asking me when you said "A comparison... if you believe in the Man, Jesus. Do you believe this?" |

Hi There, I'm sorry that I haven't gotten back to you as I am slowed down by a bad cold. And if I still don't make sense, that is the reason.:) I didn't and don't disagree with anything you have said. I am afraid that after the initial paragraph of my post to you I "waxed eloquent" to everyone who would hear. So my question "Do you believe this? was open to everyone. My idea in the posting was to show the comparisons of the pronouns with the *. Also with the parenthesis. For instance, I see a relationship between John 11:37 and 47 concerning the (Man) who is performing signs and could have kept this man from dying. The question of do you believe this concerns whether anyone sees the connection of verses 26 and 50. In other words do we see this man as the Son of Man or as just a man. Do we believe that He is a Man who came to die for the whole nation, and not that nation only. And do we see that if we believe in Him that we will never die. So what I am saying is: In order to apply these verses to our lives and beliefs we have to recognize the Deity of Christ as shown by capitalization of the Scriptures. By the way, I agree with you, and rejoice with you, that in one of your posts you stated that God's Word is Truth. He said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. So, I didn't mean to question your beliefs. I believe that we can find a relationship between John 11:26 and John 8:32. Later, Ray |

Ray, just for the record I DON'T have a cold and I still had to read your post several times. Tonight I "finally" understood what you meant. :):) I DO have those days... And I agree. I think it is that revelation, that Jesus was not just man (small "m"), but also GOD Himself, that initially shocked me to the core of my being!! It still amazes me that HE could love ME enough to die on that cross. Since I see many lovable qualities in others, I could understand the cross for them. But for myself... well... I know exactly what the Lord saved me from. And I know I don't deserve it one bit. Tonight I read a verse that touched my heart in kind of a special way. It was 1John 5:13. The part that struck me was the last part "and that you may continue to believe in the NAME of the Son of God." The name. The name isn't just a word. When you say the name you are speaking a word that totally encompasses WHO God is. And the word "Jesus" means "JHWH-saves". "Emmanuel" means "JHWH with us". Not just God, but totally and completely GOD. He was with us in the form of the Christ, and He is the one who saves. His righteousness and His mercy are showing in every bit of His NAME. I suppose I'm off subject here, but for the past year He has been impressing on me that He will teach me something about His NAME... and I've been a rather slow learner. All this while it has seemed like what He wanted me to learn was just out of my reach. Like a child reaching for a cookie just out of their reach, the tip of the finger brushing the edge. Tonight I finally was able to lay the palm of my hand on the "cookie". How magnificent is the name of the Lord!! |
