John 8:48-59
This is the last part of the Lord's "Light of the World Sermon". There are many interesting verses in the last section of what we call the Lord's "True Emancipation Proclamation". Jesus asked the religious rulers if they could point out any sin in His life; their silence speaks volumes, although they resorted to name-calling. They said He was a "Samaritan" (which they considered one of the worst insults) and that He had "a devil". He ignored their first insult, but proceeded to tell them how His words and actions proved He was not demonically controlled. Ever-patient, Jesus then invited them to trust His words so they would be set free from ever experiencing eternal separation from God.
It was at this point the Jews again mentioned Abraham, asking Jesus, "Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead?" Christ had already made a statement that was really a claim of His Lordship over the Tomb (8:51); now He made a claim as to His Lordship over Time! We get into a wonderful detailed study ofHis next words to the Jews, "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day: and he saw it, and was glad" (8:56)! We enjoy a quick review of "The Gospel on Moriah" (Abraham's almost sacrifice of Isaac) as we discover how it was that Abraham actually DID SEE (with eyes of faith) Christ's day!
At the end of the Lord's "Emancipation Proclamation," the Jews were boiling with anger and they picked up heavy stones to stone Him to death! But, it was not His hour and, somehow, He miraculously hid Himself from them.
