Commentary on John 5:25
'Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.' The 'hour is coming, and now is' describes inaugurated eschatology—future realities breaking into the present. The dead who hear are spiritually dead, awakened by Christ's word. 'Hearing' implies more than auditory reception—it means receiving with faith. Those who truly hear Christ's voice pass from death to life.
