Luke 20:37
Moses Gave a Living Testimony of Resurrection & Eternity

The Living God of the Living Abraham
The Living God of the Living Isaac
The Living God of the Living Jacob

And Moses’ Testimony Lives on Today … and Forever.

John 1:20-21, 24-25
John Didn’t Make False Claims About Himself

NOT Messiah
NOT Elijah
NOT “the Prophet”

He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Christ.” They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” He said, “I am not.” “Are you the Prophet?” He answered, “No.” [...] Now some Pharisees who had been sent questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” NIV

John 5:37-38
God’s Testimony Can Be Ignored through Unbelief in Jesus as Messiah

Never Hear the Father’s Voice
Never See the Father’s Form
Absence of Indwelling of God’s Word

And the Father who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard his voice nor seen his form, nor does his word dwell in you, for you do not believe the one he sent. NIV
