John 15:22

John 15:22

20 Remember the word that I said to you, ^a‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. ^bIf they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

21 But ^aall these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me.

22 ^aIf I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, ^bbut now they have no excuse for their sin.

23 ^aHe who hates Me hates My Father also.

24 If I had not done among them ^athe works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have ^bseen and also hated both Me and My Father.

25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ^a‘They hated Me without a cause.’

John 15:23 >>

John 15:22 If I had not come . . . they had not had sin. Certain conclusions follow: (1) The degree of our sin is measured by our opportunities; (2) increased opportunities bring a consciousness of sin; light in the room enables us to see the dirt; (3) "the sin" of sins is the rejection of Christ. Since he came there is no cloke, no covering, no excuse. Those who refuse Christ die in their sins, because they will not part from them.
