He was praised and baptized by the first Jewish prophet in four centuries. John the Baptist said: "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!""
He made remarkable claims, performed miraculous signs, and healed the sick. "Get up, take up your pallet, and walk."
He heard the Father roll back the heavens to bless Him. "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."
His birth, His life, His death were all previewed in Scripture centuries before He came, from the Torah to the Minor Prophets.
If you could gather-up all of these prophets and healed invalids and fulfilled Scriptures in one testimonial, what more proof would you need that Jesus of Nazareth is the Son of God?
Today's text in John 5:30-47 concludes the account of a bitter confrontation between Jesus and the Jewish authorities. It began with a Sabbath healing and now ends with Jesus' scathing indictment: "I know you, you don't have the love of God in you."
Let's unpack it like this...
Jesus is justified yet rejected. 1. An impartial judge (v.30). 2. A powerful witness (vv.31-40). 3. A blind jury (vv.41-47).
