He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.” And many believed in him there.
Jesus retreated from the murderous Jews and came to a place that was familiar to Him. It was the place where John had spent so much time teaching and baptizing. People had come to this place in droves to hear John speak about the One who would come after him, the One whose shoes he was not worthy to latch, the One the prophets spoke of, the Messiah. Now many of those same people had come back to this spot, not to hear John, but to see Jesus. As they remembered the words that John had spoken concerning that special One that would come after him, and as they considered the signs that they had seen Jesus perform, they believed in Him. Ironically, Jesus had just rebuked the Jewish leaders, those who were supposedly the most religious among them, the ones who knew the law and prophets best of all, for ignoring the signs that He had done and not believing in Him, even though He did the works of God. What is the lesson for us today? The Bible provides all the evidence that anyone needs to be able to believe in Jesus and follow after Him. May we be like those who remembered what they had been taught and believed.
What evidence does the Bible provide about the truth of Jesus Christ?
Don’t forget to pray and have a great day!
