Why did Jesus Call Witnesses to Testify of Himself? (John 5)

Episode 1 — The Witness Testimony of ChristIn John chapter 5, the Lord Jesus presents a powerful series of witnesses that testify to who He truly is.According to the law of Moses, every matter had to be confirmed by two or three witnesses. When the Jewish leaders challenged His authority, the Lord did not simply assert His claims — He presented the evidence.In this passage we see four witnesses:• John the Baptist • The works of Christ • The Father Himself • The ScripturesEach one points clearly to the same conclusion: Jesus is the One sent from God.Yet despite overwhelming testimony, many still refused Him.This study walks through John 5:31–47 and explores why the evidence was rejected — and why the same question still confronts every generation today.Because when all the witnesses have spoken, one question remains:What will we do with Christ and His word?Submit questions and comments to www.ThoughtsofChrist.com
