Title: John 10:38 - Believe it
Contents
If you do what I do, believe it even if you do not believe me, then you will know that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.
But if I do it, even though you do not believe me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father."
1. What God is doing
Jesus knows people, but He knows them all. Jesus knows even the structure of the world. If Jesus did not know what the structure of the world was, the devil would have worshiped even the devil in order to gain the kingdoms under the heavens and the glory he had shown him. However, Jesus was well aware of all the kingdoms under the heavens and the way behind their glory. He was looking at all the hidden shadows that swarm. That is why Jesus was nailed to the cross to make us believe in Him no matter what. Jesus showed that only you are sanctified by God and that you are the only one sent by God so that people will know that salvation comes from God only if they believe in you. Even though Jesus made it known that He alone is the Son of God through the cross, the Jews did not even acknowledge this fact.
(1) If I do what I do, believe it even if you do not believe it, then you will see that the Father is in me.
Jesus knew that salvation comes only by believing in you, and that enlightenment or imagination that does not go through you is the devil's deception, deceit, deceit, suspicion, and lies. That is why Jesus made many concessions even to believe in Him. Jesus even touched the hearts of those who do not believe in Him as the Christ. Jesus considered consideration, kindness, and even the circumstances of people's faith. He was also well aware that it is not easy for those who have not believed in Jesus for many years to suddenly recognize Jesus as the Christ. That's why Jesus said you don't have to believe unless you do the Father's works. In order to say this, we can only say this when there is nothing private or sinful in Jesus' actions. In fact, Jesus spoke confidently and clearly because he knew that he only did the work of the Father and that no one in the world can condemn him for not doing the work of the Father.
Jesus made it possible for people to believe the things of the Father when they see the things of the Father and do not have faith in him. Because if you do that, you will know that the Father is in Jesus even afterward. Jesus acknowledged even the smallest thread of faith because he was well aware that even if this faith started later, it could be the first. Although it started out grand at the beginning, he was well aware that there are no two people who will become the latter, so he was so considerate and considerate.
(2) If you do what I do, believe the work, even if you do not believe me, you will understand and know that I am in the Father.
The faith that Jesus ultimately wanted was the faith that realized and knew that the Father in Jesus and Jesus in the Father. When Philip said that it would be enough if he showed him his father, Jesus said the same thing. He who has seen me has seen the Father. Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? Philip had been with Jesus for a long time. I don't know if that time is one year, three years, or somewhere in between, but in light of Jesus' entire life of thirty-three years, it is bound to be a long time. It was Philip who had been there for a long time, so he made him believe in that matter. It is because Philip's faith does not even give any more promises if he misses even a single ray of faith in that matter.
Jesus wanted faith for everyone in the world to realize that you are in the Father and that the Father is in you. However, even Philip acknowledged the reality that even though he had been with Jesus for a long time, he could not come to that faith. Even so, since the kingdom of heaven precedes reality, in order to enter the kingdom of heaven, we must show progress in our faith. Jesus made great concessions even to faith. The moment you see Jesus, you want to believe that He is the Christ, and if you believe that Jesus is the Father and the Father is in Jesus, there is nothing more you can hope for. The goal is to make people believe even just that, so that they can realize that believing in the one whom God has sent is God's work. It is to let people know that believing in Jesus is doing God's work well.
2. The heart of God
Even if you don't believe in Jesus after seeing what Jesus did, you want to believe even those things.
God wants His people to be the blessed ones who do not believe in Jesus after seeing what He has done, but believe without seeing Him. But like Thomas, when I saw the nail prints on his hands, put my fingers in his hands, and said that he would not believe unless he put his hand into his side, he showed me Jesus eight days later and made me believe in you. you want to be If you did not believe in Jesus even after seeing what Jesus did, you wanted them to believe even if you did so, so that you could become believers without seeing what Jesus did. He wants to become a person of faith who can keep the word of Jesus without seeing and not betraying the name of Jesus without seeing it.
John 6:30 ?쏷hey asked him, ?쏻hat then is the sign that you do so that we may see you and believe you???
Jesus fed 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish. Because of this, people tried to take Jesus by force and make him king, but Jesus fled. The crowd that had come until the next day met Jesus and greeted him warmly, saying, ?쏳abbi, when did you come here???But Jesus unexpectedly said that you are looking for me not because you saw a sign, but because you ate the loaves and were satisfied. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life. He said that this food will be given to you by the Son of Man. When we asked, what are the signs that make us see and believe in you, and what are you doing? He made known to the descendants the example of not believing even after seeing it.
3. Who God is
Those who do not believe in Jesus after seeing what Jesus did are the ones who make them believe even those things.
God is with the actions of His Son, Jesus, so that we can believe even those things. Even after that, Jesus is the one who makes us believe that the signs are the Father's work.
4. Traces of Jesus (Confession and Sharing)
(1) The blood of Jesus - Seeing what Jesus did and not believing it
(2) The life of Jesus - The decision to become a believer without seeing what Jesus did
5. Prayer
Just to make you believe it
Despite the many signs, wonders, and wonders
The last day I couldn't even believe the report
forgive me
When you see the signs you are doing in faith, help me to believe well.
Help me to believe more when I see what you are doing
Let me become a believer without seeing after that.
Keep his word and do not betray his name.
