Reading for February 9th

 Read John 3.31-36. In 3.31-36: Second summary of the Gospel. John (no disciples are present) summarizes the Johannine gospel, echoing 3.12-13, 16-21, and presenting Jesus as the emissary from God. In verses 31-32: See 3.11-13; 8.23. In verse 33: To put a seal to a message is to confirm it. In verse 34: As the emissary of God (see 3.17; 5.24, 36, 38; 6.39; 8.16, 18, 42; 17.21, 23, 25; 20.21). Jesus gives the Spirit to those who receive his witness. In verse 35: The father-Son relation is very key to Jesus' authority as the revealer of God (5.20). In verse 36: God's wrath, see 5.29; 1 Jn 5.12. Comments or Questions..
