Day 37 - John 5:31-40

31 “If I were to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be valid. 32 But someone else is also testifying about me, and I assure you that everything he says about me is true. 33 In fact, you sent investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about me was true. 34 Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved. 35 John was like a burning and shining lamp, and you were excited for a while about his message. 36 But I have a greater witness than John—my teachings and my miracles. The Father gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that he sent me. 37 And the Father who sent me has testified about me himself. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face, 38 and you do not have his message in your hearts, because you do not believe me—the one he sent to you.

39 “You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! 40 Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life.

Wow, verse 39 is probably the one that sticks out to me the most. When reading the Bible, the whole bible, we can see how over thousands of years and generations.... they all point to Jesus. Ever since the beginning, before we even knew who He was!


Terrie's Comments:
All scriptures point to JESUS!  It is all about JESUS... the Whole thing from Genesis to Revelation!!  The things that Jesus did while he lived here on earth proved that he was doing the will of God.  When the gifts of the Holy Spirit are allowed to flow in our lives, they too, testify to whom our Father is and that He is who we are representing.  Our lives point to Jesus when we follow the leading of the Holy Spirit and do what the Father is telling us to do and to say.
