QT 17/04/2026 Fri. John 5:19–47. Resurrection: Same Power, Different Outcomes | The Old & New Moses in John 5.
READ http://www.esv.org/john5:19-47

Today, we're diving into a powerful passage from the Gospel of John—chapter 5, where Jesus reveals some life-changing truths about resurrection, judgment, and the authority He shares with the Father. We’ll be exploring two main themes: the same resurrection with different outcomes and the Old Moses versus the New Moses—and what they mean for us today.

Today, we’ll look at how our response to Jesus determines our eternal destiny, whether we embrace the resurrection of life or face judgment. Plus, we'll examine how Jesus fulfills the role of Moses and why both the Old and New Moses were either rejected or received. Let’s go!

(1) Same Resurrection, Different Outcome (John 5:19-29)

In John 5:19-29, Jesus expounds on the nature of His divine mission and authority. The passage begins with a declaration of His oneness with the Father, emphasising that Jesus does nothing apart from the Father’s will (John 5:19-20). The Father has given Jesus the authority to grant both spiritual and physical resurrection (John 5:21). Jesus further elaborates that a time is coming when all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come out—those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment (John 5:28-29).

Key Points for Reflection:

(a) Resurrection of Life vs. Resurrection of Judgment: Jesus speaks of two different types of resurrection. All people will fall into one of the two categories, including you. Both are acts of His divine power, but the outcome depends entirely on the condition of the heart and one’s response to Him. Jesus, as the Son of God, will one day raise all people, but the distinction is made between those who have responded to His call by faith (resulting in eternal life) and those who have rejected Him (resulting in eternal judgment).

(b) The Role of Jesus in Judgment: While Jesus came to offer salvation, He also holds the authority to judge. This judgment is not arbitrary but is based on whether we accept or reject His word and work. Jesus' perfect obedience to the Father, His identity as the Son, and His sacrificial death all contribute to the offer of grace, but they also set the stage for the final judgment.

(c) Eternal Life is a Gift: The resurrection to eternal life is a free gift given to those who believe in Jesus. The resurrection to judgment, on the other hand, is a consequence of rejecting Christ. This division underlines the seriousness of how we respond to the gospel.

Application:

Are we living in light of the resurrection of life? As Christians, we are called to live in the present reality of the resurrection—to live with the hope that death is not the final word, but eternal life with God is. This truth shapes how we view our present lives and our relationships with others. How will we face the resurrection? Our response to Jesus now determines how we will experience the resurrection. Will we be raised to eternal life, or will we face judgment? Jesus offers an open invitation for all to come to Him and receive eternal life.

(2) The Old Moses and the New Moses: Both Rejected or Received? (John 5:30-47)

In John 5:30-47, Jesus shifts His focus to the testimony of those who bear witness to His identity. He starts by explaining that He does not seek His own will but only the will of the Father who sent Him (John 5:30). Jesus then references multiple witnesses to His divine authority: John the Baptist (John 5:33-35), His miraculous works (John 5:36), the Father Himself (John 5:37-38), and the Scriptures (John 5:39-47). Jesus specifically confronts the Pharisees and Jewish leaders, showing that they fail to see the truth in the Scriptures because they do not recognize Him as the fulfillment of the law and the prophets.

Key Points for Reflection:

(a) The Old Moses (The Law) and The New Moses (Jesus): Jesus makes it clear that Moses, the great lawgiver, wrote about Him (John 5:46). Jesus is the fulfillment of the law and the prophets, yet the Jewish leaders fail to see this. They were experts in the Scriptures, but they missed the central point—the Scriptures pointed to Jesus, and yet they rejected Him.

(b) The Danger of Rejection of the True Moses: Just as the Israelites in the Old Testament often rejected Moses and God’s message through him, the Jewish leaders in Jesus’ day rejected the greater Moses, Jesus Himself. Jesus is the fulfillment of what Moses pointed toward, but they failed to recognize Him. Their refusal to accept Jesus revealed their unwillingness to accept God’s plan of salvation.

(c) The Role of Scripture: Jesus calls the leaders to examine the Scriptures, for they testify about Him. Yet, despite their knowledge, they did not believe in Him because their hearts were hardened. This highlights the importance of allowing the Word of God to lead us to Christ. We are to go beyond mere mental knowledge of Scripture data alone, and accept the Jesus Christ wholeheartedly.

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of eternal life through Jesus’ resurrection. Help me to live each day in the hope of that resurrection, knowing that my future is secure in You. May I be faithful in sharing this hope with others, so that they too may know the resurrection of life. Help me to recognize Jesus for who He truly is—the fulfillment of the Scriptures, the Saviour of the world. May I never harden my heart to His message but always seek to follow Him with all of my being. Reveal to me any areas where I am resisting Your truth and give me the grace to surrender fully to You. As I read the Scriptures, open my eyes to see Jesus in every passage. May I not simply be a hearer of the Word, but a doer, living out the truth of the gospel. Let the Scriptures lead me to a deeper relationship with You, O Lord. In Jesus’ name.

QT 17/04/2026 星期五. 约翰福音5:19-47 复活：同样的能力，不同的结果 | 《约翰福音》第五章中的旧摩西与新摩西
阅读 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=john5%3A19-47&version=CNVS

今天，我们将深入探讨《约翰福音》第5章中一段极具力量的经文，耶稣在此揭示了关于复活、审判以及祂与天父共享的权柄等一些能改变生命的真理。我们将探讨两个主要主题：同样的复活却带来不同的结局，以及旧约的摩西与新约的摩西——这对我们今天意味着什么。

今日我们将探讨我们对耶稣的回应如何决定我们的永恒命运——究竟是拥抱生命复活，还是面临审判。此外，我们将考察耶稣如何履行摩西的职分，以及为何旧约的摩西与新约的摩西都曾被拒绝或被接纳。让我们开始吧！

(1) 相同会复活，不同的结局（约翰福音 5:19-29）

在约翰福音5:19-29中，耶稣阐明了祂神圣使命与权柄的本质。这段经文以宣告祂与父神合而为一开篇，强调耶稣所做的一切都源于父神的旨意（约翰福音5:19-20）。父神已将权柄赐给耶稣，使祂能赐予属灵与肉身的复活（约翰福音5:21）。耶稣进一步阐明，时候将到，凡在坟墓里的人都要听见祂的声音，就出来——行善的复活得生命，作恶的复活受审判（约翰福音5:28-29）。

反思要点：

(a) 生命复活与审判复活：耶稣提到了两种不同的复活。所有人，包括你，都将归入其中一类。这两种复活都是祂神大能的作为，但结果完全取决于内心的状态以及人如何回应祂。耶稣作为神的儿子，终有一日要使所有人复活，但其中有明确的区分：那些凭着信心回应祂呼召的人（将得永生），与那些拒绝祂的人（将受永恒的审判）。

(b) 耶稣在审判中的角色：虽然耶稣来是要赐下救恩，但祂也拥有审判的权柄。这种审判并非武断，而是基于我们是否接受或拒绝祂的话语与作为。耶稣对天父的完全顺服、祂作为圣子的身份，以及祂牺牲性的死，不仅成就了恩典的赐予，同时也为最终的审判奠定了基础。

(c) 永生是恩赐：复活进入永生是赐给信耶稣之人的免费恩赐。反之，复活接受审判则是拒绝基督的必然结果。这种区分凸显了我们对福音的回应是何等严肃的事。

应用：

我们是否在复活的生命的光照下生活？作为基督徒，我们被召唤要在复活的当下现实中生活——怀着这样的盼望：死亡并非最终结局，与神同在的永生才是。这一真理塑造了我们看待当下生活及与他人关系的视角。我们将如何面对复活？我们此刻对耶稣的回应，将决定我们将如何经历复活。我们将被复活进入永生，还是将面临审判？耶稣向所有人发出敞开的邀请，邀请大家来到祂面前，领受永生。

(2) 旧约的摩西与新约的摩西：二人皆被弃绝或接纳？（约翰福音 5:30-47）

在约翰福音5:30-47中，耶稣将焦点转向那些为祂的身份作见证之人的见证。祂首先阐明，祂不寻求自己的意愿，只寻求差遣祂的父的意愿（约翰福音5:30）。随后，耶稣援引了多位见证人来证明祂的神圣权柄：施洗约翰（约翰福音5:33-35）、祂所行的神迹（约翰福音5:36）、父神自己（约翰福音5:37-38），以及圣经（约翰福音5:39-47）。耶稣特别针对法利赛人和犹太领袖，指出他们之所以看不见圣经中的真理，是因为他们不承认祂是律法和先知的成全。

反思要点：

(a) 旧约的摩西（律法）与新约的摩西（耶稣）：耶稣明确指出，伟大的立法者摩西所写的经文正是关于祂的（约翰福音 5:46）。耶稣是律法和先知的成全，但犹太领袖却未能看清这一点。他们虽精通圣经，却错过了核心要义——圣经所指向的正是耶稣，而他们却拒绝了他。

(b) 拒绝真正的摩西的危险：正如旧约时代的以色列人常常拒绝摩西以及神借他传达的信息一样，耶稣时代的犹太领袖也拒绝了那位更伟大的摩西，即耶稣本人。耶稣正是摩西所预表之事的应验，但他们却未能认出祂。他们拒绝接受耶稣，显明他们不愿接受神的救赎计划。

(c) 圣经的作用：耶稣呼吁领袖们查考圣经，因为圣经为祂作见证。然而，尽管他们通晓圣经，却因心硬而不信祂。这突显了让神的话语引导我们归向基督的重要性。仅停留在对圣经内容的头脑认识，却脱离耶稣基督的启示，不足以得救。

祷告

亲爱的天父，感谢祢借着耶稣的复活赐下永生。求祢帮助我每天都怀着对复活的盼望而活，深知我的未来在祢里面是稳固的。愿我能忠心地将这盼望与他人分享，使他们也能认识那赐生命、叫人复活的救主。求祢帮助我认清耶稣的真实身份——祂是圣经的应验，是世界的救主。愿我永不硬着心拒绝祂的信息，而是时刻竭尽全力跟随祂。求祢向我显明我抗拒祢真理的任何方面，并赐我恩典，使我全然顺服于祢。当我阅读圣经时，求祢开启我的眼睛，使我能在每一段经文中看见耶稣。愿我不只是听道的人，更是行道的人，活出福音的真理。主啊，愿圣经引领我与祢建立更深的关系。奉耶稣的名祷告。阿门。
