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"
