Guest Wide Eyed in Wonder Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 John 3:13-15 "13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. 14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: 15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life." Note 1: It says the Son of man came down from heaven (as opposed to beginning at birth). Note 2: The serpent that was lifted in the wilderness healed and restored those that looked upon it. Thus, Jesus was putting Himself on the same level with the same results. Note 3: Jesus makes it clearer by saying that Eternal Life comes upon those that believe in Himself. What prophet makes salvation dependent upon themselves....not the Father...not the law...not His teaching but HIMSELF? Ken Clifton christiansuperhero.com Quote
