Jesus explains that John the Baptist was a “burning and shining lamp,” but that His own teachings and miracles are an even greater witness, given by the Father to show that He was sent from God. Host Nick Oyler encourages listeners to notice the many “witnesses” to Christ’s identity in Scripture and in their own lives, and to respond with faith rather than indifference. A simple practice of inviting God into tasks helps cultivate spiritual awareness. 7:19 no In John 5:31–38 (NLT), Jesus talks about the witnesses that testify about Him—John the Baptist, His own works, and the Father Himself. Yet He tells the religious leaders that they don’t have God’s message in their hearts because they refuse to believe in the One He sent. 🎯Today, we reflect on the different ways God has testified to us about Jesus and how we are responding. 📖Follow Along (https://2minutedisciple.fireside.fm/articles/day72john53138testimonyaboutjesus) 🎁VIP (https://buymeacoffee.com/2minutedisciple/membership) John 5:31-38 devotional, witnesses about Jesus, John the Baptist burning and shining lamp, Jesus’ works as testimony, Christian contemplative podcast, 2 Minute Disciple, NLT Bible meditation, believing the One He sent, short Christian devotional In John 5:31–38 (NLT), Jesus talks about the witnesses that testify about Him—John the Baptist, His own works, and the Father Himself.
