r No part of the Bible has been
more fiercely attacked than John
A But unlike the present attack upon
Moses and Isaiah it was made
while the enemies of the Bible had
left m them some of the instincts of
S a gentleman and they did not ofI I
on to paying positions in evangeical
j churches and while the churches
k had a feelingof responsibility to God
and a belief m the importance of
Sbtruth and would not have suffered
men who attacked the infallibility
111 of Gods Word to teach in their
Universities and Theological 1 i I
Seminaries Hence the attack on
Johns Gospel though bitter and
persistent died out without doing
much harm Error outside the
t churches is a matter of no impor
t tance whatever compared with error
inside the churches
John wrote his Gospel many years
her the other Gospels were written
probably about the year 85 He is i
thought to have written it in Ephe
sus John was the best beloved dis
ciplea fiery highspirted young man
whom his Lord called Son of Thun
der n And if tradition is true age
4did not tame his fire For it is
said he rushed out from a house
when he heard the heretic Cern
thus was in it saying he would not
stay under the same roof for a min
ute
In the beginning was the Word
ole tiewnnlO t 0
th i which begius
asGe1In the beginning of
eternity for that had no beginning
But in the beginning Vot I every
thing that began the ford < was I
there preexistent eternal And
the Word was with God Thus
showing that the woid is L person
And the Word was God n Thus
declaring the deity of Lord as
strongly and as emphatically as
human language can No wonder
Unitarians desire to get ridof
the Gosnel It does not say the
Word was the God as if the
was all the Trinity and thus these
few words guard against the two
opposite heresies of the Unitarians
and the Swedenborgian Preach
ers and teachers need to be careful
lest in talking of Jesus they say Roth
0ing of the Father and Spirt and thus
I become practical Swedenborgians
Christ is called the Word as he is
the revealing God showing us the
Father The repetition in the I
second first emphasizes the distinct
personality of the Word
tI All thing were made by hilltJ I
And to nrke the statement more i
emphatic and impressive it is re
peate d injthe negative f t rm And
without Him was not anything made
that was itaJe ttHe was not cre j
ated himself which again asserts his
odhead He created all things
gels and men as well as world
lich denies the eternity of matter
ic unitv of the Godhead is shown
the manner in which the same
InK is said to be the work ofall
some instances In Him was
rAll life but especially the
iritual life Evidently the Holy
irit is no oeliever in spontaneous
generation And the life was the
lit of menWhat the earth
> uld be without light is what our
cc would be without Christ And
lie light shinetk in darkness The
jght has been shining in daskness
lince the darkness first began with
Lbs sin of Adam Bat it shines far

itself to bs penltrated bjnhe light
which was shining in order to dissi

qot an abstract principle but living

ity GodetI I
S S There was a man sent from God
whose name was John John the
Baptist cousin of the Lord whose
birth is recorded in the I first chapter
of Luke Johrt the Baptist was
greater than any of the prophets
but the gulf between a man sent
from God and the Eternal Word
who was GodIS I infimteIt The
same aime for a wil1lessNot
only to witness as the prophets did
but to point out the Lamb of God
to the people The Scribes and
Pharisees even and the people es
pecially were ready to acknowledge
John as ja fiian from God Then
they pught to have received his
testimony toC hrist But that they
refused to believe
He was not thnt gThe
emphasis is on the He The Apos
tle is jealous with a godly jealousy
for his civine Master Johns
greatness all were ready to admit
never has a preacherstirred na
tion as John stirred Jewry But he
was merely the forerunner of a tar
greater than he That was the trite
lixhl1t The word translated true
does not mean true as opposed to
false but the essential light the
genuine perfect light fohn was a
true light himself but he was only
a reflection of the perfect essential
light Which li hteth every man tt
Every man has some light from
christ just as be has some bless
ing It is tO the mediatorship of
our Lord the heathen owe the
light of nature which they have No
one can conceive the blackness of
darkness which wpuld have rested
upon the earth had Christ not died
Every man instead of all men
emphasizes the fact that God deals
with men as individuals We are
born and sin as individuals die
and are saved and lost as individu
als Thi Bible knows nothing of
masses and only two classes
separated at the last great day
He was in tIle world ihe
world was made by Jiinj4he
world knew Him nfleerring
to the presence of the I L U and the
light he gave to men tFjqijjjx the
whole history of the race Itiseems
strange to John that tlie world
should not know its Creator and
the mystery is as great to this day
c H if came iinte his own His
awn is neuter In the Gr it means
came unto his own inheritance his
own home which be had been pre
paring for nmself so kng x m
mentators differ as to whether this
coming refers to his manifestations
under the Old Dispensation or to
his incarnation But the latter
seems the meaning He came to
the Jews his cwn people whom he
had been preparing so long and
they did not receive himc But as
many as received Him whether
Jews or Gentilqs Twit 01l gave
he power to become the sons oj God
The Holy Ghost seems as ignor
ant of the universal J fatherhood of
God as was our Lord who told the
Pharisees they were of their father
the devil It would be well for
those who say so much of this
universal brotherhood in these
days to be careful not to be wiser
than Gvid Men Ve born Gods
creatures fallen guilty condemed
already dead in their sfcn But the
Lord gives power to become the
sons of God
The whole Gospel of John is as
full of the strong foundation doc
trines as is this epistle to the
Romans God is only Father to
them who believe
4 That believe on his nameHis
name Jesus which means Jehovah
saves Who believe not on bts
goodness his kindness his love
his veracity though ofcourse all
these must believed but on his
atonement his name Saviour The
postle Jojni next to his Lord is
t fee most tboroji tigciing v Calvinist

And lie goes onto show that those
who received Him as Saviour did
so Because God had elected them
to salvation The great central
doctrine is tbat God is all in all

not a child of God because his
father was Abrahams
righteous
ness did not save Isbmael nor his
sons by his wife Keturah That
which is born of flesh is flesh Nor
can the will of man save a soul No I
human being has the power to
decide who shall be saved

through tent they saw the glory

sinlessness as the Only Begotten
Son shoulshow IIJ loj grace
and truth Had the truth been
despairedhad
had grace been alone they might
have presumed
Verse 15 Our Lord came after
John in time of his birth and his
beginning his ministry He was
before him in his being infinitely
superior And of his fullness
have all we recdl1cdlt is the
evangelist who is speaking here and
not the Baptist He adds ihe tes
timonv of the church to that cf
the forerunner For the law was
given by Moses but grace and truth
came by Jesus Christ ItWhich
shows how much higher the Gospel
is than the law which was its shad
ow For Moses gave the one but
the Second Person of the Trinity
the other
otherNo
No man hath seen God at any
Ibm ItHe dwolleth in unapproach
able glory Not even Moses could
see his f ice and live But the Lord
Jesus declares Him to us and know
his declaration is true
