Jesus & the Witnesses – John 5:30-47

Jesus & the Witnesses – John 5:30-47

A witness gives supporting evidence to testify to the truth of something. In this passage, Jesus teaches that his radical claims about himself do not simply originate with himself and are not only attested to by himself, but gives 5 “witnesses” which testify to the truth of his claims. Jesus radical claims can’t be toned down… either he is a lunatic, making arrogant claims about his own divinity and making power-hungry demands that his followers worship him and give up their lives for him; or he is the Lord – the eternal and fully divine and utterly unique Son of God. Have you considered the evidence these witnesses give? What verdict have you come to concerning Jesus?
