John 13:31-16:33 — Farewell Discourse

• "Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in Him"
• "Little children"
  • Very affectionate
  • The love between Jesus and the disciples
• "A new commandment"
  • Love is not an ENTIRELY new commandment
  • There was "Love God" and "Love your neighbor"
  • Matthew, Mark and Luke talked about the New Covenant - John talks about the New Commandment
    • The old standard was love your neighbor as yourself
    • The new standard is to love one another as I have loved you
  • Love of Christ is not doing something because I owe it to them or there is some debt...
    • Christ's love is a FREE GIFT of love (Grace)
    • Anselm's satisfaction theory of atonement is so foreign... that Christ died for us in order to pay a debt... God the Father DEMANDED Blood... that removes the VOLUNTARY aspect; the LOVE aspect
• Repetitiveness of John 14-15-16 is a "chiasm"
