The one who comes from above is above all. The one who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of earthly things. But the one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. Whoever does accept his testimony certifies that God is trustworthy. For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He does not ration his gift of the Spirit. The Father loves the Son and has given everything over to him. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God remains upon him.
Consideration: Jesus, who comes from heaven, proclaims that God the Father is trustworthy. He has been given all things by the Father and speaks the words of God. Eternal life has been promised to all who believe in the Son, but the wrath of God remains on those who disobey the Son; for the Father and Son are One.
