The Witness of Jesus

Don’t Take My Word For It

V 30 The testimony of one is invalid

What has Jesus been testifying to?

V 17- Equal to the Father

V-19 in submission to the Father Doing what the Father does

V-20 Father loves and shows Jesus what He is doing

V-21 Jesus can physically make people alive

V-22 Jesus is the Judge of the world

V-23 If you are Honoring Jesus you are honoring the Father

V-24 Jesus can make people spiritually alive

V-24 Jesus gives Eternal life

V-28 Jesus will resurrect every one

But don’t take my word for it

Listen to what others have to say

V 32 there is another ?? who?

but first

John the Baptist to the Stand

What did John testify?

and Who was it about?

John 1:23 AV

He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, Make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

John 1:29 AV

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

John 1:34 AV

And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.

V 33 Jesus said the what John said is true

V 34 Jesus uses us to do His work

uses different people to say the same thing

what some one else says clicks in our brains and we “get it”

V 35 He was a lamp - that was shining

Shining lamps tell about Jesus

We are Jesus to the world - Do others want to bask in the light you are shining?

Thank you John, The next witness is..

God The Father Takes the Stand

V 36 The works The Father sent me to do

Heal the cripple man Made him run, skip, and jump for joy

turn water into wine

calmed the storm

blind see, deaf hear, raise the dead,

the Apostle John says the miracles are a sign that says “Jesus is God

these are all confirming that I am Jehovah

V 37 The works of the Holy Spirit in their hearts- these men knew who Jesus was but was rejecting the knowledge

Thus the knowledge was not in their hearts

V 39 the scriptures tell of Jesus

the nation of Israel today diligently search the scriptures, yet reject Jesus their Messiah

V 40 they are searching for eternal life in the scriptures- and still reject Jesus the one who has eternal life

V 43 if another comes claiming to be me you will accept him -Antichrist

V 44 Ambition is an enemy of the truth. they want fame and recognition. megachurch, mega-band, mega-stardom, mega-money

you reject the Father in place of fame

Jesus is rejected in place of power

churches are big on the Jesus talk they sound holy, and righteous

but they are like the praying pharisee “I do all the right things, thank you that I’m not a sinner”

V 45 Not I, but Moses will accuse you

if they don’t believe Moses, they will not believe bigger and better evidence

if we don't believe and act on what we have been taught, hundreds of Bible classes, sermons, readings,

we will not grow, mature, we will lose what we had

Stewardship Is a manager of someone else’s property

Gods word is something to be stewards of

use it for good works

apply it to our lives

we say we believe all the things that was said about Him in this message

now we need to go live like its true
