John 5v30-38

The Witnesses of Christ

in John 5, starting from verse 30, the Lord Jesus declares a sequence of witnesses that verify that He is not only equal with God the Father but also the Messiah, God in the flesh. In this sermon, Nathan Tarrant challenges us to consider what we are putting forward as witnesses to the world, showing we are truly walking in faith with Christ.

John 5:30-38

30 “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. 31 If I alone bear witness about myself, my testimony is not true. 32 There is another who bears witness about me, and I know that the testimony that he bears about me is true. 33 You sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34 Not that the testimony that I receive is from man, but I say these things so that you may be saved. 35 He was a burning and shining lamp, and you were willing to rejoice for a while in his light. 36 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. 37 And the Father who sent me has himself borne witness about me. His voice you have never heard, his form you have never seen, 38 and you do not have his word abiding in you, for you do not believe the one whom he has sent.
