“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of him who sent me.
Jesus is not a rival to God he works in tandem with God
If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true.
Testimony in Court. Two witnesses
John: An Introduction and Commentary viii. Witnesses to Jesus (5:31–47)
(Ketubot 2:9: ‘But none may be believed [as a witness in a court of law] when he testifies of himself’
You could’nt testify of yourself it needed to be collaborated
There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. But the testimony that I have is greater than that of John. For the works that the Father has given me to accomplish, the very works that I am doing, bear witness about me that the Father has sent me.
He doesn’t need it but John’s prophectic words were a testimony
The works he did were a testimony
And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent.
God bears witnessess in our hearts about Christ
You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about me, yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life.
John 5:
Jesus in the OT
Some people know Bible but not Jesus Bart Erhman
Some kids who grow up in Church
Some people refuse eternal life
I do not receive glory from people. But I know that you do not have the love of God within you. I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me. If another comes in his own name, you will receive him. How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?
John 5:
Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father. There is one who accuses you: Moses, on whom you have set your hope. For if you believed Moses, you would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”
The generation of Jesus’ day only knew God through tradition not experience
It is important for use to use our testimony to help draw people to Jesus for all our witnessing though it is the work of the Father and the Holy Spirit
