1:3-5 Everything was created through him; nothing—not one thing!— came into being without him. What came into existence was Life, and the Life was Light to live by. The Life-Light blazed out of the darkness; the darkness couldn't put it out.
1:15 Malachi 3:1
1:18 This one-of-a-kind God-Expression, who exists at the very heart of the Father, has made him plain as day. It is God's style - low-profiled, tolerant, and full of kindness.
1:23 Isaiah 40:3
1:29 Isa 53:7
1:32 Isa 11:2, 42:1, 61:1
1:45 Deuteronomy 18:15
1:48 "Where did you get that idea? You don't know me." said Nathanael. Of course, Jesus is the Only Child of God - the Messiah. In John, we can see many recordings to prove Jesus is Messiah: 2:11, 4:17-19, 29, 6:61, 64, 71, 11:11-13, 13:1, 11, 17, 28, 16:19, 30, 18:4, 21:17
2:11 The Seven Semeias, the seven miracles, which prove Jesus is the Only Child of God:
1. From Water To Wine 2:1-11
2. The Son Of The Capernaum Officer 4:46-54
3. A Paralyzed By Pool Bethesda 5:2-9
4. Five Bread And Two Fish 6:5-13; 4*. Walking On The Sea 6:19-21
5. Healing A Born Blind 9:1-7
6. Lazarus' Resurrection 11:1-44
7. The 153 Big Fish 21:1-11
3:3 Jesus told Nicodemus plainly and directly the truth of Heaven not because he was well-educated or of high status. He taught Nico to learn from the beginning if he would like to know the way to God.
3:8 You know well enough how the wind blows this way and that. You hear it rustling through the trees, but you have no idea where it comes from or where it's headed next.
That's the way it is with everyone 'born from above' by the wind of God, the Spirit of God.
3:16 The famous motto.
3:29 Jesus is the groom, and the sinners are the bride. John may be the friend or the bestman. The sinners have now a chance to make up with our Father and be back to the paradise without sins any more. And this is the only chance!
4:16 Touching! Words with forgiveness and respect, tender and kind, loving and educative!
4:20 Ge 12:6-8, 33:18, Judges 9:7, Dt 12:5, 1 Ki 9:3, Ps 122:1-9
4:37 Micah 6:15
4:38 I sent you to harvest a field you never worked. Without lifting a finger, you have walked in on a field worked long and hard by others. Others - the prophets as well as other ancient servants of God.
4:48 A mustard seed...
5:13 Why slipping away? The time has not come yet.
5:14 "Somthing worse" refers to "bad output" or "the final judgement".
5:29 Those who have lived the right way will walk out into a resurrection Life; those who have lived the wrong way, into a resurrection Judgment.
5:31 Three evidences to prove Jesus is the One: 1. the Prophet John, 5:33, 2. the miracles Jesus had done, 5:36, 3. the Holy Bible, 5:39, Dt 17:19
5:45 Why was Moses the accuser? Accusing what? Here it is clearly taught that an understanding of the Old Testament which is not centered in Jesus Christ is a deficient understanding (vv. 46-47). Once again, we see people honor someone as a teacher yet reject his teaching. So Moses would have accused them in the first place. Luke 16:31
6:31 Exodus 16:4-35
6:37 Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me.
And once that person is with me, I hold on and don't let go.
6:64 Judas, the rebellious fake disciple, didn't believe in Jesus in the first place.
6:66 It's not easy being a Christian... Compare 6:37
6:70 Why did Jesus handpick a devil to be His disciple? This passage also speaks of human responsibility. In a chapter that so strongly affirms the necessity of divine initiative, here we have another note regarding the importance of faith. Even Jesus' choice for someone to be a member of his inner circle of disciples is not going to save that person unless one has faith. We are not saved by faith, but neither are we saved without it. Judas had the most intimate access to Jesus; he had one of the best seats in the house for seeing God revealed in the flesh. But he lacked humble trust and love for Jesus as Jesus actually was. This thought is very sobering in light of much false optimism among Christians today. The human heart is capable of seeing God in his great beauty and of rejecting him. Indeed, all of us are capable of such betrayal, as our sin testifies. What is our inner disposition? Have we found in Jesus the Holy One of God who has the words of eternal life? Do we actually live our lives as those who believe this truth? Have we met God in such a way that we can trust his character even when we do not understand his words and deeds? (BibleGateway) Jesus answered: "And yet even ye have not all acted suitable to this knowledge. Have I not chosen or elected you twelve? But they ight fall even from that election. Yet one of you." On this gracious warning, Judas ought to have repented; is a devil - Is now influenced by one. (Wesley) Too tough to swallow as it may be, God would still give us so many chances to repant as possible.
7:6-8 Jesus acted precisely according to God's plan.
That's why He was relatively "constrained", not as "free" as His fellow brothers.
7:22 Ge 17:9-14
7:24 Don't be nit-pickers; use your headand heart! - to discern what is right, to test what is authentically right.
7:39 John 16:7
7:40 Dt 18:15, 18
7:42 2 Samuel 7:12, Ps 132:11, Jer 23:5, Micah 5:2
7:52 Yes, there were! Jonah was one of them. 2 King 14:25
