Content Title: Evidence
Bible: John 5:30-36
This was the battle we fought in front of today's text.
He healed a 38-year-old man that day was a Sabbath. Then the Jews
Why are you doing these things on the Sabbath?
To this, Jesus replies that the Father works and I work, so he concludes by saying that the work is what the Father wants.
It was God who commanded us to keep the Sabbath, and it was He who commanded us to work on that day.
What do you have to say?
Then where does the spark of the controversy spread? If you say, 'Father works, I work', which means that the Father and I are one. Now, it is a leap to blasphemy.
Then Jesus changed the subject to saying that God sent me.
it's god I do not do anything alone, the Father has sent
I started emphasizing that I did what I was told. And by verse 30, he
Kii goes a little further with what is called 'evidence'. Let's look at verses 30-32 again.
"I can do nothing on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not do my own will, but the will of him who sent me. I know that the evidence you testify for is true."
After all, the debate is whether Jesus is truly God-sent? Is Jesus God
? It is now a leap forward by fighting. This debate eventually led to
Jesus died on the cross for the charge of blasphemy.
He was guilty of the sin of blasphemy, that is, that as a human being, he considered himself equal to God.

But the battle right now is primarily about whether Jesus is really the one sent by God?
isn't it? is to do Jesus said that he was sent by God
to start. But if you go back and see the story that God sent me,
I see you've progressed the story a lot more than just being fake.
With that in mind, you should read today's text.
As I read the verses from John 5:30-32 in today's text, that feeling was, 'I am a God-sent
Do you have a strong 'sleep' feeling? Or 'I can do more, but at God's command
Is it stronger to say 'I am restraining myself to be obedient'?
The original focus of today's text is that you really are God-sent, and that you are God's work.
It is whether you are a person who is doing 'Because you healed the sick on the Sabbath,
If you are a servant of God and do God's work, how can you dare to break the Sabbath?
Do you have it?' You are being harassed.
Then, out of the blue, Jesus replies: 'Father works, so I
working. Father and I are one.” In those days, you could not dare to call God Father.
There was no time. It is only in these days that God's personal name has been revealed to be Jehovah.
is. The truth is, I don't even know if the name Jehovah is correct. because for God
Out of reverence, whenever we write the word God in the Bible, we use only vowels and no consonants.
because it was
Jehovah means 'I am who I am'. The nation of Israel wrote the Bible
When the name of God came up, the scribes who wrote the word washed the brush in water and wrote it again.
All. Whenever the name Jehovah came up, I had to do it, and even reading the Bible
When the name Jehovah appeared, it was not read Jehovah, but Adonai. Adonai
It means 'my God' or 'my Lord'.
When we have to give or call out the names of the grown-ups or the names of our parents, too.
Write and call '0 characters 0 characters 0 characters'. Yes, if you lightly say 'Nugu' and 'Hamja'
It is easy to be despised for being unrighteous.
However, under the Israeli custom of such a distinction, Jesus referred to God as 'Adonai'.
I did not call him 'Father' but I was not the only one who was shocked by the Jews.
I did. That is why the Jews are bitten by this saying.
Then Jesus said, 'God has sent me. Therefore, I am the one whom he commanded
'I only do this' is not enough for him to send me
you answer But the Lord was not satisfied with this answer and said, 'I can't do more.
There are some things, but it is to be patient.' It is making a further leap forward.
When Jesus asks a question, he doesn't answer it.
He answers with the above. And if you ask about it, you can ask for something higher than that.
After answering the question, the attackers are chasing after you endlessly, and they get tired. rather than their questions.
Because the answer is bigger. This attitude of Jesus teaches us so much.
is suggesting.
Then, let's look at today's text, John 5:33-36.
"You tell John ....that the Father sent me for me.

What is the purpose of this passage we are trying to remember through this passage? doing
will be Also, what is the biggest theme in the text?
Jesus said, 'I don't want you to answer me now that you are arguing with me.
What you want to emphasize is that you don't. In other words, the conclusion is 'I am God's
The proof that I am the one who sent me is that he is doing what he sent me, and that he must not testify otherwise.
that is'.
Jesus did not come to persuade us. Jesus died for us
You have come. Don't forget this. How did Jesus prove himself?
He didn't come to impress or surprise us.
will be Because that's how we don't know Jesus.
Jesus came as a last resort because it was inevitable.
The last option was to die for my sins instead.
This is why Jesus came.
Let's look at verse 36 again.
“I have a testimony greater than that of John, that the Father gave me to fulfill
is history...." Do you know what history is accomplished here? It is the death of the cross.
I'm talking about negative history. Jesus died so that the Father
proves that you have sent it. This is truly surprising.
Therefore, Jesus did not come to prove himself. prove who you are
He did not dwell or show off. Then why? So many miracles so far
You will be asked if it caused it. that those who were regenerated by his death

that's what you've done.
Everything the Lord had done did not even make sense to the disciples. with what
Can you tell? It is proven that Jesus ran away when he was taken to the cross.
When the Lord died and was buried, all the disciples went out to fish.
What caused the disciples to come back? Because of the resurrection of Jesus.
After the resurrection, he appears one after another before the twelve disciples. they remember the old days
It's not about coming back, it's about letting you go back and forth at the point of return. '
Ah! That's what those words were at that time!' This is how it goes.
Even as Jesus prayed while sweating in the garden of Gethsemane, the disciples
I am asleep and sleeping. No one took part in it.
But now I am joining. Why? Because Jesus died for that very reason, the eyes of the disciples were opened, and so were ours.
In other words, it was born again. Now we know who Jesus is.
When the Lord comes down to this earth, the authority, authority, and work to be done

What do you think we would like to prove ourselves by? in John 17
There is a surprising answer to this. Let's look at John 17:18-21.
“As the Father sent me into the world, so I sent them into the world, and
For this I sanctify myself, that they may be sanctified by the truth.

Here, too, the words, "I believe that you have sent me," come from.

All. For the salvation of one soul, we have to endure anything.
These days, the era has come when all blessings are based on the success of them.
Those who believe in Jesus and receive blessings do not get sick, do not get kicked out of their jobs, do not suffer any setbacks, and children do not seem to study very much, but get first place, get ahead of college, and prosper and spend money in business I'm worried about this...
However, no!! This is not necessarily a blessing or a sign of a true believer. god of believers
The evidence of self-righteousness is that when you see that person, something deep down there should be burning.
'That person is probably different from the rest of the world, has no pride, no greed, and what
Do you live with pleasure? I don't know, but there seems to be something great.'
This must come.
I don't know how much the Bible asks of us for this.
That's why 'If you hit your right cheek, turn it to your left!'
'If your enemy is hungry, feed him!' This is how we should be different.
Please remember. that we were sent in this way. 'father
As you have sent me, so I send them,' said the Lord.
So the fate of our neighbours is in our hands.
Our Lord put all your pride in heaven, and the lowly, weak, and despised
You came in your form. He despised, ignored you, mocked you, and endured and forgiven you endlessly until you hung him on the cross. The Lord only suffered and instructed, and became a rotting grain of wheat. After all, he died for all of this
At least we are the ones who should imitate the image of the Lord.
I hope you will do your best to become a grain of wheat that suffers, burns, and rots throughout your life.
So, be a man with a harvest. This is the command the Lord gives us, and it is the boldest goal principle that He requires of us.
Only those who live like this will receive the joy and praise that the Lord enjoyed.
