Picking up the flow of John 12 at verse 44, we find the following. With one of my study Bibles declaring that Jesus states that He came to Save or redeem the World. An again this is also revealed by John in chapter 17 where we hear the true Lord's Prayer for the world of humanity, revealed as a intercessory prayer, that seems to be ignored these days as are most or part of Paul's writings. All these things are butchered by religionist's to the point of lacking recognition. Then before jumping right into chapter thirteen I want to look at the Jewish feats (moadims) and their completion by the workings of Christ in the Son of man, Jesus. Who came as the Lion of David and left as the Lamb of GOD.
John 12:44-50 "Jesus cried and said, 'He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.'" (KJV)
John 12:44-50 "And Jesus cried out and said, 'Whoever believes in me, believes not in me but in him who sent me. And whoever sees me sees him who sent me. I have come into the world as light, so that whoever believes in me may not remain in darkness. If anyone hears my words and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world. The one who rejects me and does not receive my words has a judge; the word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day. For I have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father who sent me has himself given me a commandment—what to say and what to speak. And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.'" (ESV)
John 12:44-50 "Jesus cried out and said, 'To believe in me is not proof that I won your vote; it proves your belief in the one who sent me! To see me is to see Him who sent me. I have come to enlighten the world so that anyone who believes me should no longer abide in darkness. If any one hears my words and rejects them, I do not judge that person; for I did not come to judge the world but to save (redeem, Strong's G4982, [sozo] to heal, restore, to deliver from destruction) the world! The one one who rejects me and my words has one who judges him the very Word that I have spoken to him is the final judge. No-one will escape the ultimate scrutiny of the Word! I have not conjured up what I have spoken to you but the Father who sent me has given me specific instructions as to what to say and this I do in the way that i do it. And I know that this instruction is the life of the ages-the detail of what I say echoes exactly what I've hear of my Father saying.'" (The Mirror)
With our next visit we will the LORD willing begin chapter 13.
