Thoughts on the Gospel of John (35) - All The Good Seed Daily Devotionals for 2026

He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. And what he has seen and heard, that he testifies; and no-one receives his testimony. He who has received his testimony has certified that God is true.
John 3: 31 - 33.

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (35)
John the Baptist is still speaking to his disciples about Jesus Christ. One might think that John cannot cease speaking about Him, once he has started.

Whoever follows what John says attentively will learn a lot about Christ. He came "from above", as the next sentence confirms. That can be said of no other person. Moreover, no-one is "above all" except the incarnate Son of God. If Jesus were not God, John could not have spoken thus. In contrast to all who have their origin here on earth, the Son of God has no origin. .
