Lesson 11: What More Could I Have Done?

Memory Text:
“Pilate therefore said to Him, ‘Are You a king then?’ Jesus answered, ‘You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice’ ” (John 18:37, NKJV).

John 18:37 emphasizes Jesus’ mission to testify to divine truth, establishing His kingship through sacrificial love.

Key Themes:​

  1. Christ’s Victory and Kingship:
    • Sunday: Despite Satan’s temporary rule (John 12:31), Jesus’ resurrection affirms His ultimate victory. As the sinless King, He exposed Satan’s lies and offers His righteousness to humanity, transforming His triumph into ours (John 18:37).
  2. Jesus as Justifier:
    • Monday: Jesus’ sinless life and death (1 John 3:8) justified humanity, dismantling Satan’s accusations. His sacrifice reveals God’s justice and love, ensuring Satan’s eventual destruction (Hebrews 2:14; Romans 5:8).
  3. Divine Effort and Human Response:
    • Tuesday (Isaiah 5): God’s care for His "vineyard" (Israel) symbolizes His relentless efforts to nurture righteousness. Yet His people produced “wild grapes” through injustice (Isaiah 5:7), highlighting human responsibility for rejecting grace.
    • Wednesday (Matthew 21): Jesus’ parable of the wicked vinedressers condemns religious leaders who rejected God’s messengers and His Son. Their violent actions underscore humanity’s role in resisting salvation, despite God’s sacrificial love (Matthew 21:33-39).
  4. Vindication of God’s Character:
    • Thursday: God’s justice will be universally affirmed through judgment. The pre-Advent judgment (Daniel 7) and millennial review (Revelation 22:12) ensure transparency, culminating in all creation acknowledging His lordship (Philippians 2:10-11).
  5. Call to Action:
    • Final Thoughts: Believers are urged to reflect God’s character through service—feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and advocating justice. The lesson shifts focus from questioning God’s efforts to asking, “What more can we do?” to embody His love.
God’s exhaustive efforts to save humanity, exemplified in Christ’s sacrifice, confront human free will. The cosmic conflict resolves in His vindication, calling believers to active discipleship that mirrors divine love and justice.
