In this sermon, our guest speaker Aaron G. looks at the exchange between Jesus and the Jews in John 8:12-59. Aaron explains how the passage emphasizes one main truth: who Jesus is guarantees that those of the world will be repulsed by his witness. Aaron also clarifies, though, that man’s fundamental rejection of Jesus is what leads to the cross of salvation rescue. Aaron breaks down the passage as follows:
Jesus bears true witness to:
1. His own testimony (vv. 12-20)
2. His identity and future (vv. 21-30)
3. His paternity (vv. 31-47)
4. His deity (vv. 48-59)
