The disciples think they understand, but they will not truly understand the beauty and the magnitude of what God is doing until the resurrection.
In this passage, we see Jesus will give the disciples three things.
Understanding, A mediator, Peace in Trouble.
Understanding.
Figurative Language?
He does this:
1.
Because he is a good teacher.
2. To strengthen their faith afterthe fact.
Jesus has been doing this ever since the beginning of His ministry.
Oftentimes, His disciples are left wondering what he is saying.
Think about some of these moments.
The Parable of the Sower
The Parable of the Weeds
Matthew 13:
He has been speaking to them in this manner for a while.
Why did he do that?
Why did Jesus speak to them in figurative language?
Why did he speak to them in parables?
Why does it seem that he was so vague?
The disciples are frustrated in and they ask the very same question.
Jesus has been explaining the Father to the disciples His entire ministry.
Most of the time, they don’t get it, one day they will.
Jesus will enlighten and illuminate their minds of every single parable.
After the resurrection they will look back and understand every one of them.
This is what he is saying in our passage today.
He explains that an hour is coming, where he will speak to them plainly.
The picture will give way to reality.
During the crucifixion, the disciples will not understand.
They will watch in amazement that the one they called Lord, will be strung up.
But after the resurrection, all these parable makes sense.
They understand.
There something about Jesus raising from the dead that transforms their minds to understand who it is that he was.
Then they truly believe.
Jesus assures them of this.
A Mediator.
We find here A theology of prayer after the resurrection.
Listen to what he says again.
In other words, We go directly to the Father through the Son.
It isn’t that we go to someone and then they go to God for us.
Christ has opened the channel of communication between sinful man who he is redeeming and the Father.
We pray in Christ’s name and all the relational benefits possessed by Christ are ours through faith.
Again- Its not that we go TO Christ and He goes to the Father for us.
No our relationship with the Father is more intimate than that.
We go directly to the Father, through the Son.
That is a privilege of being adopted into the family.
Look at the verse:
The Father Himself loves you!
Why? 2 reasons
Because you have loved Christ.
You have loved All that Christ is.
as Lord
as Savior
as Judge
Because you have believed.
Faith
Imputation.
Because you have believed in Christ, the righteousness of Christ has been given to you.
Now, the Father sees you as the perfection of Christ and He loves us with the same love he has for the Son.
Christ is our mediator.
The Father doesn’t love us, because of something we have done.
Christ has earned the Father’s favor and love for us.
In fact, it is the Father’s love that initiates the sending of Christ.
The Disciples will understand this even further after the resurrection.
Jesus continues on:
This is a one verse summary of the mission of Christ’s incarnation.
He has came from the Father.
The Virgin Birth tells us this.
John the Baptist told us this.
The Old Testament testified to this.
His signs and miracle told us this
His Mission tells us this.
He came into the world.
A world that hated Him from the beginning
A world where His own people hated him.
A world that eventually would kill him.
For one purpose.
He is leaving the World.
records His ascension away from this world.
But its not the leaving that gives us good news.
Its where He is going and why he is going that gives us good news.
He is going to the Father.
To be our intercessor.
To prepare for us a place
To one day return for us.
Jesus is saying this is just repeating every thing he has told them from the beginning.
The disciple misunderstand.
Jesus has just said that an hour is coming where his speech will change.
Where they will finally understand all.
He is referring to the clarity that the resurrection and the ascension will give.
They think they get it now.
But they don’t.
They claim to the have the understanding now, when Jesus has clearly said they will receive that later.
They make three important claims of belief:
1.
You know all things.
(They claim to affirm the omniscience of Christ).
but They don’t really believe.
2. We have no need to question you.
(They affirm their own omniscience) but They don’t really know.
3. We believe that you came from God.
