The Third Discourse of Jesus (6)

It is our intention today to address the last paragraph of John 5 in order to complete our study of the third discourse of Jesus recorded by the apostle John in His Gospel. Last Lord's Day we considered the testimony of four different witnesses to the truth that Jesus is the Son of God--that He is God incarnate, that He is both God and man (5:31-40). We read in the passage before us today how Jesus responded to those who had heard Him regarding these four witnesses. In doing so He diagnosed and addressed the true spiritual condition of their souls. May the Lord use His words this morning to help us diagnose the condition of our souls, and may He bring us comfort or remedy, depending on the need of each of us.
