Broadman Boks for Easter Reading
JESUS SELF-REVELATION cont. titution are emphasized as we view the scene in Eden immedi ately after the fall when God, walking in the garden, calls out in a plaintive manner for Adam: “Where art thou?” (Gen. 3 :9) To this condition Jesus reveals Him self as the Good Shepherd ready to lay down His life for the sheep. Having laid it down, He gives eternal life to those who respond and they can never perish, nei ther can any outside influence re move them from the hand o f the Shepherd, the good One (10:28). Lostness indicates a basic con dition demanding outside help, even rescue; but the next disclo sure probes deeper into an even more basic deficiency of the hu man race and the self-revelation that Jesus makes of His ability to supply even that lack. The fall en human race is spiritually dead and will experience death eter nally if a remedy is not effected. To this Jesus says, “ I am the res urrection and the life” (John 11:25). By this He means that He can produce life where there is none, and He, being the source of life, can and will maintain the resurrected life. Finally, let us notice that for the thirsty, He is the water; for the blind, He is the light; for the unprotected and defenseless, He is the door; for the wanderer, He is the Good Shepherd; for the lifeless, He is the resurrection and the life. Notice also that for each problem that our Lord claims to be the solution, He dem onstrates His authority in a tan gible way by performing, in the sight o f many, a supernatural act impossible but for deity. He is a wonderful and adequate Saviour and He is mine. John’s stated purpose in writing was to this end. “ And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not writ ten in this book: but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through His name” (John 20:30, 31).
