If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote about me.

But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?”

The Jews took pride in their following of Moses, but Jesus points out that Moses wrote about Him and they even reject the testimony of Moses, their leader. Hoskyns points out, “The law of Moses is not a religion of salvation, it is the categorical imperative of God by which men are accused and exposed as sinners.” Morris goes on to say, “Had they really paid heed to Moses they would have been convicted of their sin, and eager to recognize the Saviour.” (p. 334)

What about us? We still have all of these witnesses; do we continue to reject them? How often have we read our Bibles or heard a teaching or a sermon and not accepted it as the word of God for us? How often have we “enlightened ones” acted just like the Jews? What are you going to do about it?
