Study - Types And Signs
In John 1-11
John, under inspiration of God, writes this
Gospel to bring people into a Relationship with Jesus Christ. John proves that Jesus was the Creator, is
the Incarnated Son of God, Lamb of God, and The Resurrected Savior, as well as
showing Him to be the soon coming Judge and King.
Among the ways used to prove Christ’s diety, John uses types from the Old Testament and 7 signs
symbolizing the life changing results of belief in Christ and the work of the
Holy Spirit in the life of the sons of God.
Finally, We will take a look at the references to the Tabernacle in the
Book of John
I. Why
Did John Write This Gospel?
John 20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his
disciples, which are not written in this book:
John 20:31 But these
are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God;
and that believing ye might have life through his name.
II. To Whom Did John Write This Gospel?
John 1:1 ¶ In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the
beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by
him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the
life was the light of men.
John 1:5 ¶ And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
A. John Wrote To The
Greek & Hebrew In
1. The use of the word logos – Word
a. The
Greek – In their philosophy, The Greeks had discovered 4 elements
1. Air - 2. Earth -
3. Fire - 4. Water
b. The
Greek was constantly looking for the quintessimal –
Ultimate Reality
c. The Jew
knew that God spoke and by this created the world
d. John
told the Greek that Christ was the ultimate reality – The Jew That Jesus was
the son of God
2. Through John The
Baptist Bearing Witness To The Light
John 1:6 There was a man sent from
God, whose name was John.
John 1:7 The same came for a
witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
John 1:8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness
of that Light.
3. Through John The
Baptist Using A Type From The Old Testament
John 1:29 ¶ The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith,
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of
the world.
What Is Meant By Lamb of God?
Exodus 12:1 ¶ And the
LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,
saying,
Exodus 12:2 This month
shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the
year to you.
Exodus 12:3 Speak ye unto all the congregation
of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they
shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a
lamb for an house:
Exodus 12:4 And if the
household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour
next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man
according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
Exodus 12:5 Your lamb shall be without blemish,
a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the
goats:
Exodus 12:6 And ye
shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole
assembly of the congregation of
Exodus 12:7 And they
shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper
door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
Exodus 12:8 And they
shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and
with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exodus 12:9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at
all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
Exodus
Exodus 12:11 And thus
shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your
staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’S passover.
Exodus 12:12 For I will pass through the land
of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt,
both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment:
I am the LORD.
Exodus 12:13 And the blood shall be to you for
a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass
over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the
land of Egypt.
4. Through Christ Himself Using A Type From The Old Testament
John 3:14 And as Moses lifted up the
serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
John 3:15 That whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Where Did The Serpent Come From?
Numbers 21:6 And the
LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much
people of
Numbers 21:7 Therefore the people came to
Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and
against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us. And
Moses prayed for the people.
Numbers 21:8 And the
LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it
shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh
upon it, shall live.
Numbers 21:9 And Moses
made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a
serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived.
B. John Wrote To The
World – ‘kosmos’
– Mankind - Including All Of Us Today
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life.
John
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not
condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
John 3:19 And this is
the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness
rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
John 3:20 For every
one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh
to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
John 3:21 But he that
doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they
are wrought in God.
III.
John Wrote About Christ’s Rejection
John 1:9 That was the true Light, which lighteth
every man that cometh into the world.
John 1:10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him,
and the world knew him not.
John
A. Christ’s Own, The Jews,
Rejected Christ As Messiah
B. He Is The Creator
Of All, But Most Of His Creation Didn’t Recognize Him
IV.
John Wrote About The God-Man
John 1:12 But as many as received
him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe
on his name:
John 1:13 Which were born, not of
blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:14 And the Word was made
flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
A. All That Are Born Again Have Power To Become Sons of God
B. The Spirit of God Was Incarnated Into A Human Body
V.
Christ’s Witness Of The Power Of The Holy Spirit
A. Christ’s Witness To
Nicodemus
John 3:1 ¶ There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus,
a ruler of the Jews:
John 3:2 The same came to Jesus by
night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God:
for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I
say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot
see the
John 3:4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can
he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born?
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot
enter into the
John 3:6 That which is born of the
flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 3:7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye
must be born again.
John 3:8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and
thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell
whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every
one that is born of the Spirit.
1. Being Born Again Is Not The
Renewing Of The Old Nature
2. Being Born Again Is A
Continual Creative Work Of The Holy Spirit
3. A Man Can Not Enter The
B. Christ’s Witness To The
Samaritan Woman At The Well
John 4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria,
which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground
that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.
John 4:6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus
therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was
about the sixth hour.
John 4:7 There cometh
a woman of
John 4:8 (For his
disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
John 4:9 Then saith
the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If
thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest
have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
John 4:11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and
the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
John 4:12 Art thou
greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof
himself, and his children, and his cattle?
John
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh
of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I
shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting
life.
John 4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not,
neither come hither to draw.
John 4:16 Jesus saith
unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
John
John
John 4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
John 4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this
mountain; and ye say, that in
John 4:21 Jesus saith
unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
John
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when
the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the
Father seeketh such to worship him.
John
John 4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias
cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
John
1. If You Rely On Earthly Water You Will
Thirst Again
2. The Water From
Christ Will Spring Inside Into Everlasting Life
3. Worship In
Tradition Doesn’t Get It – Worship In Spirit & Truth
4. Christ Is The
Messiah - Imanuel

John Told Of Seven Of Christ’s Miracles That Were
Signs – Demonstate The Life Changing Results Of Being
Born Again
A. Christ Changes Water Into
Wine – Law Replaced By Grace
John 2:1 ¶ And the
third day there was a marriage in
John 2:2 And both
Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
John 2:3 And when they
wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They
have no wine.
John 2:4 Jesus saith
unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine
hour is not yet come.
John 2:5 His mother saith
unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
John 2:6 And there
were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner
of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
John 2:7 Jesus saith
unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they
filled them up to the brim.
John 2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor
of the feast. And they bare it.
John 2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted
the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants
which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
John 2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth
good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou
hast kept the good wine until now.
John 2:11 This
beginning of miracles did Jesus in
B. Christ Heals The
Nobleman’s Son – Spiritual Restoration
John 4:46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there
was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at
John 4:47
When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea
into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and
heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
John 4:48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe.
John 4:49 The nobleman
saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die.
John 4:50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man
believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.
John 4:51 And as he
was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth.
John
John 4:53 So the father knew that it was at the
same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth:
and himself believed, and his whole house.
John 4:54 This is again the second miracle that
Jesus did, when he was come out of
C. Christ Heals The
Impotent (Paralytic) Man – Weakness Becomes Strength
John 5:1 ¶ After this
there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to
John 5:2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep
market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five
porches.
John 5:3 In these lay a great multitude of
impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
John 5:4
For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled
the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was
made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
John 5:5 And a certain man was there, which had
an infirmity thirty and eight years.
John 5:6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that
he had been now a long time in that case, he saith
unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
John 5:7 The impotent
man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me
into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth
down before me.
John 5:8 Jesus saith
unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
John 5:9 And immediately the man was made
whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
John
John 5:11 He
answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed,
and walk.
John 5:12 Then
asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and
walk?
John
John 5:14 Afterward Jesus findeth
him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more,
lest a worse thing come unto thee.
John 5:15 The man
departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
John 5:16 And
therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had
done these things on the sabbath day.
D. Christ Feeds The
Multitude – Christ Satisfies Spiritual Hunger
John 6:1 ¶ After these
things Jesus went over the sea of Galilee, which is the
John 6:2 And a great
multitude followed him, because they saw his miracles which he did on them that
were diseased.
John 6:3 And Jesus went up into a mountain, and
there he sat with his disciples.
John 6:4 And the passover, a feast of the Jews, was nigh.
John 6:5 When Jesus then lifted up his eyes,
and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto
Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat?
John 6:6 And this he
said to prove him: for he himself knew what he would do.
John 6:7 Philip answered him, Two hundred
pennyworth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may take
a little.
John 6:8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon
Peter’s brother, saith unto him,
John 6:9 There is a lad here, which hath five
barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
John
John 6:11 And Jesus took the loaves; and when
he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them
that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would.
John 6:12 When they
were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain,
that nothing be lost.
John 6:13 Therefore they gathered them
together, and filled twelve baskets with the fragments of the five barley
loaves, which remained over and above unto them that had eaten.
E. Christ Walks On
The Water – Fear Becomes Faith
John 6:16 And when
even was now come, his disciples went down unto the sea,
John 6:17 And entered
into a ship, and went over the sea toward
John
John 6:19 So when they had rowed about five and
twenty or thirty furlongs, they see Jesus walking on the sea, and drawing nigh
unto the ship: and they were afraid.

John
F. Christ Heals The
Man Born Blind – Darkness Overcome Light Brought In
John 9:1 ¶ And as
Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
John 9:2 And his
disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents,
that he was born blind?
John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither
hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made
manifest in him.
John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent
me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.
John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the
light of the world.
John 9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on
the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind
man with the clay,
John 9:7 And said unto
him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He
went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
F. Christ Raises Lazarus From
The Dead – Death Conquered Life Established
John 11:1 ¶ Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where
Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
John 11:2 There they
made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at
the table with him.
John 11:3 Then took
Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of
Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.
John 11:4 Then saith
one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him,
John 11:5 Why was not this ointment sold for
three hundred pence, and given to the poor?
John 11:6 This he said, not that he cared for
the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare
what was put therein.
John 11:7 Then said Jesus,
Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this.
John 11:8 For the poor
always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.
John 11:9 Much people of the Jews therefore
knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus’ sake only, but that they
might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead.
John
John
John 11:12 ¶ On the
next day much people that were come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus
was coming to Jerusalem,
John 11:13 Took branches of palm trees, and
went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of
John 11:14 And Jesus, when he had found a young
ass, sat thereon; as it is written,
John 11:15 Fear not, daughter of Sion: behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass’s colt.
John 11:16 These things understood not his
disciples at the first: but when Jesus was glorified, then remembered they that
these things were written of him, and that they had
done these things unto him.
John 11:17 The people
therefore that was with him when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raised
him from the dead, bare record.
John 11:18 For this
cause the people also met him, for that they heard that he had done this
miracle.
John 11:19 The
Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.
John
John 11:21 The same
came therefore to Philip, which was of Bethsaida of
Galilee, and desired him, saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.
John
John 11:23 And Jesus answered
them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
John 11:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth
forth much fruit.
John
John 11:26 If any man serve me, let him follow
me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
John
John 11:28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came
there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify
it again.
John 11:29 The people
therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An
angel spake to him.
John 11:30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.
John
John 11:32 And I, if I
be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
John
John 11:34 The people
answered him, We have heard out of the law that Christ abideth
for ever: and how sayest thou, The Son of man must be
lifted up? who is this Son of man?
John
John 11:36 While ye
have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These
things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide
himself from them.
John
John 11:38 That the saying of Esaias
the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord,
who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the arm
of the Lord been revealed?
John 11:39 Therefore they could not believe,
because that Esaias said again,
John 11:40 He hath blinded their eyes, and
hardened their heart; that they should not see with their eyes, nor understand
with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal
them.
John 11:41 These
things said Esaias, when he saw his glory, and spake of him.
John 11:42 ¶ Nevertheless among the chief
rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not
confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue:
John
John 11:44 ¶ Jesus cried and said, He that
believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
