John 13:31
With Judas gone, Jesus proclaims into motion His GLORIFICATION that He has mentioned throughout the gospel.
GLORIFIED comes from the Greek word doxa which means “to believe or to think.”
It is used in a way that means “to be revealed in such a good way as to be thought good.”
“Therefore, the concept of glory in Jesus’ vocabulary meant that the truth He had been teaching and truth of His IDENTITY would be vindicated in the eyes of all humanity.
His identity as the WORD in human flesh would be confirmed by by His going to the cross, rising from the dead and ascending to heaven.”
Charles Swindoll
The word was used as a companion to the Hebrew word nikbad, which has to do with God’s splendid activity.
Isaiah 48:
The Son of Man designation comes from :
Notice the evidence of splendor and glorification.
In giving of His Son, the splendor and glory of God was His selfless giving love:
Jesus was going to be glorified by going to the cross and in turn God would be glorified.
Paul described this in .
This will take place immediately in Jesus going to the cross.
It is also referring to one indivisible act, once and for all.
Also notice the impact of how each of the members of the Trinity is illustrated.
What happens to one happens to the others.
When the Son is glorified, the Father is glorified.
This is portrayed in Matthew 3:16-17:
Matthew
This is a repeat of :
“My children,” or in a better use, “my dear children,” is a gentle appeal.
The word teknia is used only by John in the gospels and by John again in 1 John.
It is used by Paul in :
It is a gentle appeal; said with great tenderness and compassion.
Jesus is saying: “Understand what you have with me right now.
Be mindful of the instruction you have been given.”
We must make use of the best of the help we have for our souls we can have while we have the opportunity.
We need to make the most of the opportunity we have.
He has told the Jewish leaders this and it is recorded in 7:33-34 and :
He told the Jews the could not enter because of their unbelief.
However, the disciples would be able to do so later.
This is revealed as we will see in verse 36.
John 13:34
The law proclaimed in was to love your neighbor as yourself.
Jesus says here to love as “I have loved you.”
Jesus ups the ante.
The measure of love for their neighbors was no longer the way they loved themselves, but Jesus’ love for them.
We see in this Gospel the love Jesus has for His disciples in 3 verses:
John
John
John 15:
John also stated it :
This new kind of love was one in which led Jesus to lay down His life.
A new command, a new love, a new life.
1 Thessalonians
John 13:35
Loving each other is the real deal of the gospel.
There is no limit on this love.
There is just the command to love.
Who is one another?
What does it mean to love like Jesus?
It includes all people.
Regardless of age, color, gender, moral history, social status, influence, intelligence and religious background.
To love like Jesus is to love indiscriminately, universally and inclusively.
Does our congregation show that we have been with Jesus?
The proms of love is that God lives in us and His love is complete as in :
It is the outcome.
Mother Theresa is said to have prayed:
“Dearest Lord, may I see You today and every day in the person of your sick, and whilst nursing them, minister unto You.
Though You hide behind the unattractive disguise of the irritable, the exacting, the unreasonable, may I still recognize you and say, ‘Jesus, my patient, how sweet it is to serve You.’”
John 13:36
Notice Peter skips right over the new commandment and inquires where Jesus is going.
Knowledge of Jesus’ plans and continuing to be with Him are more important than obedience.
Jesus tells him that he can’t follow now.
Only the Lamb of God can offer the sacrifice that is to be given for the sins of the world.
Only the Son of God can perfectly reveal the Father in a way that both can be glorified.
Peter will be able to follow later, after the path has been cleared.
Peter will go on a similar path as described in and :
John 13:27
Peter wasn’t sure exactly where Jesus was going, but he resolved that he would go also.
Peter declares his affection for Christ as well as his intention of affection.
We should make Christ more clearer than our own lives.
Peter asks with sincerity: “Why can’t I go?”
David felt something similar:
1 Samuel 29:
Often, we like Peter, think we can do anything, keep up with everything…however, we all have limitations.
Peter’s intentions and self-assessment vastly outdo his strength.
Good intentions spoken in a safe place after a good meal are far less attractive in a dark garden with a hostile mob.
The denials were as Jesus said.
They are recorded later in , .
We are all capable of falling:
