Exodus 32:7-14; Psalm 106; John 5:31-47

Witness for the defence

The Jews rightly placed great credit on the words of Moses, who had been their mediator with God. But Moses was realistic about these headstrong people, whom God promised would “be my people and I will be your God.” When some of the Jews want to kill Jesus because he heals illnesses and calls God his own Father, Jesus points out that Moses is a witness to him “since it was I that he was writing about.” But it is the Father who is the number one witness for Jesus. Who could vouch for me? Support my credentials?
