“The Father bore Witness of me” John 5:39-47
T
oday’s lesson focus is on Jesus’ conversation regarding His identity and His Father’s witness to the fact that He was truly God’s Son and by what authority He had to do the works that was done. Jesus talks about John the Baptist bearing witness to Him, but was nothing in comparison to the witness by His Father. This occurred at Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River when the Godhead appeared together. As John bore witness to the truth which was Jesus was God’s Son the promised Messiah who came to take away the sins of the world. What Jesus was actually telling His audience is that “here you have the Son of God in the flesh preaching repentance and baptism in the Holy Spirit and you are refusing to hear and believe.” I have been sent by my Father as I do all things through Him and by His Will, because I can do nothing in and of myself.” This question comes to mind, if you fail to believe the true source, then who will you believe? To believe, one must have the love of God in them and accept Him and His Son for who they are one the provider of salvation and one the giver of salvation. Just as God the Father bore witness of His Son, so can believers through faith and seeing with their spiritual eyes. Christ our Savior---witness Him for He is worthy---God did.
