Section 18

What is the meaning of this declaration? It is simply that the Lord told the Jewish people that He is the manifestation of God coming to them as light. If they receive Him, they will have God and become the children of God. But if they re ject Him, they will be overtaken by darkness. Moreover, the commandment that God gave to Him to speak is to them eternal life if they re ceive it. Otherwise, that very word will become a sentence of judgment upon them in the last day. This is the final declaration the Lord made to the religious people. Beginning with chap ter thirteen, the Lord is continually with His disciples, no longer having anything to do with the Jewish people.

There are, therefore, four points to this chapter. The first point shows what is the real church life. The second reveals how the Lord produces and increases the church. The third discloses that the religious people will not go along with the Lord no matter how much He does for them as life in the signs. Finally, the last point indicates how the Lord was forced to make a declaration to the religious crowd that He is the manifestation of God coming to them as light; that if they receive Him they will become the sons of light and that if they do not receive

Him they will be overtaken by darkness; that He comes to them with the commandment of God to speak living words to them; that if they receive His words, those words will become eternal life to them, but if they reject them, those very words will judge them in the last day.
