The Upper Room DiscourseJohn 13-16
4
John 1318 3) God's Omniscience does not hinder
or violate human volition.(Summary)
5
1) "I do not speak of all of you".A reference to
Judas Iscariot, an unbeliever, influenced by
Satan and about to be possessed by him.
6
Advanced doctrine is not intended for the
unbeliever. He is only able understand the
gospel message.
7
2) "I know the ones I have chosen". a) Jesus
Christ is God, co-equal with the Father and
Spirit.
8
b) He is demonstrating His Sovereignty, to choose
the believer out from unbelievers, and His
Omniscience - knowing who is and is not saved.
9
c) Through the sovereignty, righteousness and
justice of God we have been elected from eternity
past, which is made effective at the moment we
believe in Christ.
10
d) Gods Divine Decree via the Doctrine of
Lapsarianism gives us the appropriate order of
God's elective decree - Infralapsarianism.
11
Infralapsarianism 1. God decreed to create all
mankind.2. God decreed to permit the fall.
12
3. God decreed to provide salvation for all
mankind (unlimited atonement).
13
4. God decreed to elect some from among fallen
mankind, and to leave others in their sin (those
who will not believe in Christ).
14
5. God decreed to save the elect through faith in
Christ, (i.e. to apply salvation to those who
believe).
15
3) "He who eats My bread has lifted up his heel
against Me."Our Lord prophesied Judas' ensuing
betrayal - Doctrine of Betrayal.
16
4) "But it is that the Scripture may be
fulfilled.
17
Fulfilled means "implementation". What the
prophets of the Old Testament spoke about The
Christ must come to fruition.
18
Scripture cannot lie. It is impossible for God to
lie it is impossible for Gods Word to lie with
regard to a principle, a concept or a promise.
19
Over 300 prophecies regarding our Lord. Over 30
fulfilled in one day.

5) Lifted up his heel against me.It means to
overthrow, to seek ones destruction, or to
reject authority.
24
In Gen 314-15, because Satan instigated the
first betrayal in the human race, our Lord cursed
him and foretold of the damage he would cause
Him, "bruised on the heel".
25
Genesis 3 also prophesizes of Satan's impending
doom, "bruise you on the head", a mortal blow.
26
In John 13 there is one present that has rejected
the authority of Jesus Christ. Judas pretended to
love Him, but our Lord knew his true heart.
