The work that I do testify for Me.

"YOU WILL BE FILLED WITH POWER WHEN THE HOLY SPIRIT COMES ON YOU, AND YOU WILL BE WITNESSES FOR ME TO THE ENDS OF THE EARTH."

"But I have testimony greater than John’s. The works that the Father gave me to accomplish, these works that I perform testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me." (John 5: 36).

Today we look at the "testimony" of Jesus. We ask: What are the credentials of Jesus? How do we know that this Man is who He claims to be?

In His trial before Pontius Pilate, Jesus affirms that the purpose He came into the world is to bear witness to the truth. Jesus, according to His own testimony is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

To validate that Jesus is who He claims to be, we match His claims with His works. A Trauma doctor must be able to perform in a critical emergency situation in order to be believed. If not, he is considered an impostor, a fraud.

Jesus is genuine and authentic in every sense. He healed every type of sickness. He raised the dead. He cast out demons. He fed thousands from a few loaves and fish. He taught people the message of eternal life. Jesus fulfilled every profile of the Messiah prophesied by Isaiah and other prophets.

How about His character? Jesus is irreprochable in His personal conduct.
Finally, He was crucified and rose from the dead as prophesied by Himself. He appeared to those He chose to see Him. His Apostles who saw Him after His Resurrection were all prepared to die and actually died to testify to the truth of His Resurrection.

The Church Jesus founded which shall never be destroyed by forces of evil is alive and following the Way of her Lord all over the world. The lives of the Saints continue to be irrefutable advertisement for the authenticity that the Church is the Body of Christ and the Temple of the Holy Spirit.

"The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy." (Revelation 19: 10). That testimony is alive today in the Church in miracles, healing, teaching and witnessing to the truth of the Gospel.
