30: For He wrote of Me (John 5:46)
John 5:46
“For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me”
“For if you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me”
Jesus makes two important points in this short verse, using something the Jews cherished - the Old Testament. Jesus highlights the teachings of Moses, who spoke about Jesus as the coming Messiah, and uses this to question the Jewish leaders’ true belief in the scripture. Jesus is affirming how important the text is! God speaks to us through the text. It also causes us to wrestle with what we truly believe. Are we practicing what we believe?
