John 8:21-36

The Jews had declared to the Lord that His record was not true (v. 13). What use then is it to ask Him now who He is (v. 25)? He can only reply to them, "Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning". His words are the perfect expression of what He is (Psalms 17:3). What a contrast there is between what we say or how we behave to others and what we are in reality. All that the Lord Jesus said and did was in perfect harmony with His Father’s mind. "I do always those things which please him", He is able to declare. He is an inimitable Example but how much we must try to imitate Him!

The Lord Jesus preaches full deliverance to those who believe in Him. But the Jews who are there protest, "We . . . were never in bondage to any man" (v. 33). By some strange loss of memory or more likely through pride, they have erased from their history Egypt, Babylon . . . and the present Roman domination. Such is man; he will not admit that he is a slave to sin and imagines himself to be free to do just as he pleases (2 Peter 2:19).

Let us acknowledge, dear friends, the terrible condition in which we were found, but let us remember too the true liberty in which the Son has placed us in our relationship as children of God.
