READ vv.31-40

v.32 who is that? John or the Father?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
v.34 not that I accept
human testimony - mean?
v.35 lamp that burned
& gate light - mean?
v.36 what work?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
v.37 how has the Father
testified about Jesus?
v.38 important note -
the link where the religious Jews did not have the Father because they did not
believe the Son
------------------------------------------------------------------------
v.39 are there any
particular religions today who believe this?
Amish, Orthodox Jews, Jehovah’s Witnesses?

Jesus?

What should be our
response when someone falsely or incorrectly accuses us of wrong motives or
actions? A: Let God and our actions
speak or testify for and about us; not become defensive (this is hard to do)
