V.1-16 What a miracle Jesus performs; He comes to the poor man, He doesn’t tell the man to come to Him. And so it is now, we cannot move towards Him in our sins. But He comes to us. Doing this on the Sabbath, only brought out the hatred of the religious people.
V.17-27 But it also brought out the truth that God the Father, and God the Son, are working together in the salvation of souls. Every living person will receive one of two things from the Lord Jesus, eternal life or banishment to hell.
V.25 Refers to a person being dead in sin. This is the way all unbelievers are. When we heard the voice of the Son of God, we received life, we live.
