Show Don't Tell: John 3:31-36
Instead of saying "Jesus is from heaven and speaks God's words," distinguish origins. "The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is from the earth belongs to the earth, and speaks as one from the earth. The one who comes from heaven is above all." Origin determines authority. "He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony." Eyewitness testimony—rejected. "Whoever has accepted it has certified that God is truthful. For the one whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God gives the Spirit without limit." Unlimited Spirit. "The Father loves the Son and has placed everything in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them." Present tense: has eternal life. Present tense: wrath remains.
