John 8.28-59, Commentaries, verse by verse
John 8.21-30
Jesus said that He was going away and the Jews could not find Him. Jesus spoke very plainly and explain what the spiritual situation was. He was from above, they were of this world. They would die them in their sins if they would not believe that he was the Christ. He had much in judgement against them. The fact was they were blinded and they did not understand the relationship between Him and the Father. What about us? Do we see things as they really are? Jesus is the Christ and He has the authority from the Father? He came and died for our sins that if we believe in Him we would have eternal life.
John 8.31-59
The Children of Abraham (v. 31-41): Jesus said (v. 31-32) 'If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth and the truth will set you free.' We will know the truth IF we obey his commandments THEN the truth will set us free. This is on of the IF..THEN statements. We should not take verses out of context but look closely at small words such as IFs and THENs. He said, in essence, that if they were Abraham's children, they would do the things that Abraham did, they would not want to kill Him.
Jesus was pretty blunt with the Jewish leaders, He called them the children of the devil (v. 42-37) because if you belongs to God you hear what He says. But in this case they wanted to kill Jesus. The devil is the father of lies and a murderer and the Jewish leaders exhibited the characteristic of the devil.
Jesus made the amazing claim about Himself that 'before Abraham was born, I am!' (v. 49.
In his famous book Mere Christianity, Lewis makes this statement, "A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic - on the level with a man who says he is a poached egg - or he would be the devil of hell. You must take your choice. Either this was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us."

Readings for One Year Chronological New Testament

Today's Reading From John 8.1-27

John 8.1-27, Commentaries, verse by verse
John 8.1-27
In verse 1-11, there was the incident when the Pharisees brought the woman caught in adultery to Jesus. Accoding to Mosaic law, she was to be stoned to death. They wanted to know what Jesus would do in a situation like this. It was interesting that He wrote on the ground with his finger. The Bible did not say what He wrote. Jesus said to them, let him who is without sin cast the first stone. He then stoop down and wrote again with his finger. Slowly they all disappaered and He said where where those who condemned you. She said that there was none and He said that He did not condemn her either. This was grace in action. He told her to leave her life of sin.
In verse 12-20 Jesus spoke about His testimony in the world. He began by saying that 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follow me will never walk in darkness, but will have the lightof life.' (NIV, verse 12). Jesus is basing the validity of His testimony not on man's authority but on the authority that God sent Him. He based the testimony on two witnesses. The first witness was God the Father and the second was on Humself. Both were reliable witnesses. Jesus and God the Father produce credible witnesess and cannot lie.

John 7.28-53, Commentaries, verse by verse
John 7.28-53
No one could seize Jesus because his time has not yet come (v. 30). We should know that God is in control of everything that has happened in our lives, nothing will happen to us UNLESS God permits it. The Pharisees had the word of God with the evidence of the coming of the Messiah from the Prophets, but they were blind and did not see who Jesus was. Jesus made a prophecy about Himself that He would go to the One who sent Him, and that they could not find Him, speaking of His death (v.33), and Ascension.
37On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38Whoever believes in me, as[c] the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." 39By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified. Jesus is the One who can quench our deepest spiritual longings, in Him we can be complete.
The Jewish leaders as before was filled with unbelief yet they have all the facts. Let us too be careful with our readings of Scripture. We need the Holy Spirit to reveal to us what God's will for us.

John 7.1-29
Jesus brothers did not understand much less knew him. They were embarassed by him and mocked him, telling him to go to Judea to perform some miracles for his disciple. It was after the resurrection that they came to a saving knowledge of him and were leaders in the church. Two epistles were written by them. One by James and the other by Jude. Are we embarassed by Jesus. Do we have acquainatnce with Him but we really don't know Him?
Jesus was under opposition by the Jewish leaders and they wanted to kill him. The people admired Jesus but were afraid to speak openly of Him lest they would be excommunicated from the synagogues. The Jewish leaders wondered how Jesus could have taught with such authority and wisdom. They had wanted to kill Him because He healed on the Sabbath. he pointed out to them that they themselves do 'work' in performing circumcision. Sometimes the eight day after a male child is born would fall on the Sabbath and they would have to circumcise the child.
How do you know that Jesus teaching is from God. If we do God's will we will find out that Jesus is from God. They asked if Jesus is the Christ. They were using the Old Testament to see if He was the Messiah. They thought they knew Him but they did not KNOW Him or the Father. He was from Nazareth, this was one of the Prophecies spoken from the Prophets but they did not get it. Do you know of Jesus, the things that He did but do you KNOW Him in a personal relationship?
