John 5:30-32

 Both Old and New Covenants require multiple sources to establish testimony.  Under the Mosaic Law, no one could be convicted of a crime without the testimony of two or three witnesses (Num. 35:30; Deut. 17:6-7; 19:15-21; cf. Heb. 10:28-29).

 In the Gospel age, this principle applies to settling disputes among brethren (Matt. 18:15-17; 2 Cor. 13:1-4), and in bringing accusations against an elder (1 Tim. 5:19-20).  It also relates to the issue of Christian evidences (John 5:30-32; 8:14-18).

 John the Baptist testifies that Jesus is the Christ (John 1:6-7, 15, 19-20, , 29-34; 5:33-35).

 The works of Jesus testify He is the Christ (Matt. 11:2-6; John 2:11, 23; 5:36; 10:24-25, 37-38; 14:10-11).

 God the Father testifies that Jesus is the Christ (John 5:37-38; 8:14-18; 1 John 5:9).  Note God’s utterances at the baptism of Jesus (Matt. 3:16-17; Mark 1:10-11; Luke 3:21-22), and again at His transfiguration (Matt. 17:1-6; Mark 9:2- 8; Luke 9:28-36).

 The Old Testament prophets testified regarding the Christ (Luke 24:25-27; Acts 13:26-27; 2 Pet. 1:19-21).  Consider the Messianic prophecies preserved by Moses in the Pentateuch (Gen. 3:15; 12:3; 22:18; 49:8-10; Num. 24:17; Deut. 18:15-18; etc.).

 Consider also the witness of the inspired apostles, who testified that Jesus is the Christ (John 15:26-27; Acts 2:29-33; 3:14-15; 5:30-32; 10:38-43; 2 Pet. 1:16- 18; 1 John 1:1-3; 4:14).

 Credible evidence confirms that Jesus is the Christ.  Do you accept the witness of John, the witness of Christ’s works, the witness of the Father, the witness of prophecy, and also the witness of the apostles?  Will you not respond to the Lord’s invitation while there is time and opportunity?
