~ Regarding Words ~
Introduction
~ This series is about questions
involving Jesus. Some were asked by
individuals involved with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth. Others are questions that Jesus Christ asked
others. We will look at questions on over
160 topics (some may split into two or more posts). Even so, it is far from an exhaustive
list.
Scripture
~ “If I bear witness of Myself,
My witness is not true. There is another
who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me
is true. You have sent to John, and he
has borne witness to the truth. Yet I do
not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be
saved. He was the burning and shining
lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light.
“But I have a
greater witness than John’s; for the works which the Father has given Me to
finish — the very works that I do — bear witness of Me, that the Father has
sent Me. And the Father Himself, who
sent Me, has testified of Me. You have
neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His form. But you do not have His Word abiding in you,
because whom He sent, Him you do not believe.
You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life;
and these are they which testify of Me.
But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.
“I do not
receive honor from men. But I know you,
that you do not have the love of God in you.
I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another
comes in his own name, him you will receive.
How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek
the honor that comes from the only God?
Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who
accuses you — Moses, in whom you trust.
For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about
Me. But
if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?" (John
5:31-47).
