27th Post - Jesus Said about His Authority con't. John 7: 28-29

This passage as you find it in the New King James Version John 7: 28 - 29 is as follows:
You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.

Jesus is telling His audience that they know Jesus, and where He is from, Heaven and God the Father. Jesus did not come on His own, but came because He was sent by the Father, and His actions and words are true. God the Father you do not know.

Jesus is saying that the people have accepted His coming from Heaven. You would only believe this if you believe that Jesus is who He says He is. I don't think everyone listening to Him believed that Jesus came from Heaven. This is the same problem we have today, when faced with Jesus; we have to decide if Jesus is who He says He is or He is an imposter. If you agree that Jesus came from Heaven, then you have to accept that Jesus is not acting on His own but doing the work of His Father. You know the words and actions of the Father are true because you have learned about Him through the Bible. The Bible is the only way of knowing the Father, since He is Spirit and is invisible. Jesus is also telling you about the Father by doing the works of the Father.
