'A Greater Testimony' - John 5:33-34

[Jesus continued addressing the Jewish leaders:]
"In fact, you sent investigators to listen to John the [Baptizer], and his testimony about me was true. Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved."
—John 5:33-34 NLT

Key Thought​

John the Baptizer told the truth. John died telling the truth. John gave his life to prepare the way for the truth. We could search through all of history and not find a more credible and authentic witness to integrity and truth than John the Baptizer. John helped thousands find their way to salvation in Jesus. However, as great a witness as John was, Jesus had a greater witness. God himself chose to offer "testimony" about Jesus. He validated Jesus through the miracles he performed [1] and the resurrection that showed him to be God's powerful Son. [2] How has God helped validate the truth about Jesus to you? How has this "Greater Witness" helped you to see Jesus as your Lord?

[1] John 20:30-31.
[2] Romans 1:4.

The testimony of the Lord is true to the last word. He came to save and to free people from chains of sin and evil.

 

[Conroy]

Father in heaven, how we love You, we lift Your name in all the earth, may Your kingdom be stablished in our praises. Thy word is true and it is an eternal truth and no one will be able to take it away from us.

 

[Rizakar]

Father God, it causes me to tremble every time I think of someone not making it to heaven because I did not tell them about Jesus being our Lord and Savior.

 

[Alltersenn]

There are millions of lost souls in the world and we need to pray for them to get saved and be on their way to heaven. Jesus loves them and wants all of them in glory.
