It Makes Sense that Jesus is from Heaven.
Female earthlings!
John makes so much sense in chapter three where he is explaining where Jesus has come from.
"God's Son comes from heaven and is above all others. Everyone who comes from the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all others. He speaks about what he has seen and heard, and yet no one believes him. But everyone who does believe him has shown that God is truthful. The Son was sent to speak God's message, and he has been given the full power of God's Spirit.
The Father loves the Son and has given him everything. Everyone who has faith in the Son has eternal life. But no one who rejects him will ever share in that life, and God will be angry with them forever." John 3:31-36
There is so much to learn in this passage.
1) His ways are not our ways. He's above all. Our limited brains have a hard time believing.
2) "Earthly things" tend to be the focus of our discussions.
3) We should listen to the words of Jesus and receive them as a message from a God who loves us immensely. Living under that kind of love will cause us to live differently.
When we believe that it makes sense that Jesus came from heaven on a love mission, then it makes even more sense for us to have faith in Him and experience his gift of eternal life!
Lord, give us faith to believe! In Jesus' name. Amen
