Message
Written to expose the Divine.
Darkness - v1 = Gen 1:1 we see darkness… deception.
Hidden.
Blind
Despair - v2 = Gen1:2 without form and void!
is this you today?
Disguise - v6-7 = Scooby Doo… Robin of Locksly…
Disclose - v8-9 = He believed what?…
The scripture said…
Light / Darkness of Faithlessness / Faith
Divine truth is immortal, and although it may allow itself to be taken and scourged, crowned, crucified, and buried it will nevertheless rise again on the third day and reign and triumph in eternity.
BALTHASAR HÜBMAIER
John 20:8–10 “Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
Then the disciples went back to their homes.”
John 20:31 “but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
Written to Expose the Divine.
3 Types of People… You may be one today
Written as hope for the Dejected.
Crying - v11 = When all we have to look forward to is death…
even death cannot keep us away when we love the Lord.
the grave looses its stigma as well as … when we long for Christ
He who wept for his friend now has a friend who weeps for him
Concern - v12-13 = Cannot find Jesus when wants to… Message of the good news…
Do you long to find Jesus?
Have you been searching for Him?
Confusion - v14-15 = Did not know who Jesus was when standing right there…
Calling - v16-18 = You are known, You are included, You are important…
We may venture more freely to call God our Father, because His only Son, in order that we might have a Father in common with Him, chose to be our brother.
JOHN CALVIN
Maybe you can relate to Mary today… Eeyore - Whinny the Pooh
Written as Hope for the Dejected.
Written as encouragement for the Disquieted.
He Stood - v19 = In the midst of their fear and anxiety he stood with them...
Piglet - Whinny the Pooh
He Showed - v20 = He is gentle and kind… He is patient…
He showed his victory over Sin and Death… Scripture fulfilled !!
He Sent - v21 = He has called us for purpose !!
Our discomfort and fear cannot hinder us !!
His Spirit - v22-23 = Jesus now lives in US… not simply among us !!
The Lord Jesus is just the Savior that the suffering and sorrowful need.
He knows well what we mean, when we tell Him in prayer of our troubles.
He can sympathize with us, when we cry to Him under cruel persecution.
Let us keep nothing back from Him.
Let us make Him our bosom friend.
Let us pour out our hearts before Him.
He has had great experience of affliction.
J. C. RYLE
Written as Encouragement for the Disquieted.
Written as proof for the Doubters.
Problem - v24 = Thomas was not present when Christ appeared… Testimony of others !!
Proof - v25 = Thomas wanted proof… See / Feel… empirical data… trust the science
Rabbit - Whinny the Pooh
Person - v26-28 = Christ appeared… Thomas profession
Jesus is the only way !!
Power - v29 = Faith = Believing
Faith takes God without any “If’s.”
If God says it, Faith says, “I believe it”; Faith says “Amen” to it.
