The Works Bear Witness.

 'Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me…' John 10:25


Jesus' works bore witness of Him.  What works did Jesus do? Miracle, after miracle, the miracles Jesus performed were too numerous to count. 


Joh 21:25  And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.


The WORLD itself could NOT contain the books that should be written of the things that Jesus did.  Think about that for a moment. Jesus did SO many things there aren't enough books to contain them!  Do you think that is just a metaphor? Something to say because Jesus did so much? Even if you think that is so, we truly can't imagine all the many miracles Jesus performed, we just can't. 


Jesus' works. Every single miracle was a testament to Jesus. Every single word He spoke was a work of His truly. His words are life and light to the world. To think that His words weren't part of His works would be a mistake. The miracles, the words of life, the entire existence of our Savior was one of performing the work He was sent into the world for and that was all for our salvation! 


Every work Jesus did was in the Father's name. He could do NOTHING without the Father, nothing.


Joh 5:19  Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. 


The Son can do nothing of himself but what he seeth the Father do!


Joh 5:30  I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me. 


Of Himself Jesus could do NOTHING. 


'Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me…' John 10:25


They believed NOT. So many people still believe not. It's true. Sometimes Christians fancy that the entire world believes as they do, but it's not true at all. We have various polls conducted and right now there are less and less people that believe the Bible is God's true word at all. Less people believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Less people believe in God. All these polls spur Christians to imagine they need to covert everyone even if they need to use force, shame, anger, hate to do so. Jesus is and was only LOVE. We need to LOVE not condemn anyone!


Those Jewish men that Jesus answered when asked to tell them if He were the Messiah, they did NOT want the truth at all in any way. They wanted Jesus to say the words that would condemn Him to death. They didn't care about Jesus' works- all of them and there were too many to count. Every single work a testament to Jesus' Sonship to the Father and they were blind to them all. Blind then and blind now. Blind, unable to see at all beyond their own pride, their own selfish. There is a message for US today in this, a message that we need to study God's words and learn of all of Jesus' works because they testify of His Messiahship. We might not witness first-hand the miracles, we might not hear the voice of our Savior as He speaks the words of His many messages, but they are all meant for us to comprehend as reality. 


Jesus only speaks truth, may we believe His truth. 


All through His amazing love, now and always!!!!!!!
