Witness #2 – The works of Jesus
“I have testimony weightier than that of John. For the very work that the Father has given me to finish, and which I am doing, testifies that the Father has sent me.
“But I” sets Jesus off from all of mankind. He is supremely different. As great as John was, his witness was still human and could not establish the position of One Who was divine.
What is different about the works of Jesus?
- They come from God.
John 3:35 The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. - They were unique.
John 15:24 If I had not done among them what no-one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.
Remember the context of this discourse. Before the eyes of these Jewish accusers Jesus has miraculously healed a lame man. These men have seen the power of God exercised through the hands of Jesus and they still refuse to believe Him!
