All That John Said

John 10:39-41 – Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp. Then Jesus went back across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing in the early days. There he stayed, and many people came to him. They said, “Though John never performed a sign, all that John said about this man was true.”

John 8:59 – At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.

John 2:11 – What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

John 1:7 – He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe.

Application:

• ·         When Jesus declares “I am”, there are only two possible responses: to reach for a rock or to fall at His feet.
• ·         Signs revealed Jesus’ glory and likely also pointed to the fullness of the salvation He came to effect.
• ·         People were not to believe “in” John the Baptist but “through” him.
