Devotional: John 5:30-47

Today’s passage: John 5:30-47

Helpful thoughts:

  • Jesus didn’t need to be convinced of who He is.  But, He was willing to compile a list of witnesses for the sake of those who would and will believe!
  • The Jewish leaders were proud of their knowledge of the Scriptures but they didn’t believe what the Scriptures teach.
    • Luke 24:27 – “And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.”
  • Verses 41-44 get to the heart of the issue.  These leaders were more interested in the glory they could receive from other men over the superior glory of God.  They were in a popularity contest with God Himself.

Questions to consider:

  1. What witnesses does Jesus give which reveal His identity?  How do these witnesses and actions evidence who He truly is?
  2. What warning do we receive concerning our study of the Bible in these verses?  Is it enough to simply know the Scriptures?  Does a perfect memory and years of study directly result in spiritual life and growth?  What must the Scriptures do in our hearts?
  3. Of whom did Moses speak in Deuteronomy 18:15?  What does a person have/gain when they believe in the promised Messiah?
