427. “He Spake”

“Never Man Spake Like This Man” (Joh_7:46)

Frequently in John’s Gospel we read, “He spake” and “Jesus spake,” which illustrates the head text. Mark the importance of His utterance and the themes to which He refers.

1. Christ’s Resurrection. “He spake of the temple of His body” (Joh_2:21).

2. Christ’s Pre-knowledge. “He spake of Judas Iscariot” (Joh_6:71).

4. Christ’s Revelation. “He spake again, saying, I am the Light of the World” (Joh_8:12).

5. Christ’s Attraction. “As He spake these words many believed on Him” (Joh_8:19-20, Joh_8:27, Joh_8:30).

6. Christ’s Teaching. “He spake this parable unto them” (Joh_10:6).

7. Christ’s Death. “He spake signifying what death He should die” (Joh_18:32).
