    Psalm Reading

    Psalm 83:1–4 “O God, do not keep silence; do not hold your peace or be still, O God! For behold, your enemies make an uproar; those who hate you have raised their heads. They lay crafty plans against your people; they consult together against your treasured ones. They say, “Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!””

    Reading

    John 8:48–59 ESV
    The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?” Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?” Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’ But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word. Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.” So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?” Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.

    Sermon

    The Truth Will set you free
    slavery to Sin
    Jesus “the Truth” will set the slave free
    John 8:31–32 ESV
    If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples
    make it rule your life
    You are of your father the Devil
    attitude and behaviour
    devil lies and murders
    God is Truth, Love, Grace and Mercy
    John 8:48 ESV
    The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
    Unwilling to admit their defeat they turn to vicious, stinging insults
    Samaritan - most dispised
    Demon Posessed - to deminish his words
    John 8:49–51 ESV
    Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me. Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge. Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.”
    “I do not have a demon, but I honor my Father, and you dishonor me”
    Jesus’ emphatic denial that the Jews had a right to claim God as their Father
    was not satan-inspired
    It was his zeal for the Father’s honour
    they claim dishonours the Son
    they are dishonouring the Father
    “I do not seek my own glory; there is One who seeks it, and he is the judge”
    It is not necessary for the Son to vindicate his own honour
    The Father will take care of that and will judge a righteous judgement
    “Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death”
    keeps my word
    accept it by faith
    obey it
    stand guard over it
    Judgement is a matter of life and death
    spiritual death is seperation from
    the love of God
    experiencing a crushing weight of his wrath and condemnation
    forever
    John 8:52–53 ESV
    The Jews said to him, “Now we know that you have a demon! Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’ Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died? And the prophets died! Who do you make yourself out to be?”
    “Now we know that you have a demon!”
    The double down on the insult
    so much worse than “you are insane”
    “Abraham died, as did the prophets, yet you say, ‘If anyone keeps my word, he will never taste death.’ “
    They point to those God most honoured
    even they died
    The vehemently reject Jesus’ majestic promise as tangably absurd
    “Are you greater than our father Abraham, who died?”
    “Who do you make yourself out to be?”
    John 8:54 ESV
    Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is my Father who glorifies me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God.’
    The glory of a vain pretender or megalomaniac is empty
    The Son does not gloriy himself but the Father
    The Father is always engaged in the glorification of the Son
    John 8:55 ESV
    But you have not known him. I know him. If I were to say that I do not know him, I would be a liar like you, but I do know him and I keep his word.
    “whom you say, ‘He is our God.’”
    “But you have not known him”
    Your boastfully monopolize him but do not know Him
    If you know someone you recognise them
    If you know their word, you recognise it being spoken
    Jesus calls these men liars to their face.
    “I would be a liar like you”
    “I do know him and I keep his word”
    John 8:56 ESV
    Your father Abraham rejoiced that he would see my day. He saw it and was glad.”
    They were so proud of being decendants of Abraham
    But he would have been displeased with them
    Gen 22 - Abraham - The sacrific of Isaac
    Abraham trusted in God’s promises (Gen 15 & Gen 17) that through Issac one would come from God to bless all the nations
    John 8:57 ESV
    So the Jews said to him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?”
    Abraham had lived 2,000 years before
    Their distain response
    how can you claim you know the mind of Abraham when you never met him?
    If you claim that Abraham saw you then you must have seen Abraham
    John 8:58 ESV
    Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.”
    Truly, Truly - Most solomnly I assure you
    There were only two present who knew the mind of Abraham
    Jesus doesn’t claim to be a third witness
    He claims to be the most important witness
    “I AM”
    John 8:59 ESV
    So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid himself and went out of the temple.
    Their rage against this blasphamy was signficant
    Lev 24:16 stated it must be punished with death by stoning
    not allowed by Roman rule
    “Jesus hid himself”
    “went out of the temple”
