31 "He has come from above and is greater than anyone else. I am of the earth, and my understanding is limited to the things of earth, but he has come from heaven.
32 He tells what he has seen and heard, but how few believe what he tells them!
33 Those who believe him discover that God is true.
34 For he is sent by God. He speaks God's words, for God's Spirit is upon him without measure or limit.
35 The Father loves his Son, and he has given him authority over everything.
36 And all who believe in God's Son have eternal life. Those who don't obey the Son will never experience eternal life, but the wrath of God remains upon them."
John the Baptist tells us that Jesus is greater than anyone here on earth. He was sent by God himself. He tells us about heavenly things -- things it is hard for us to understand. We only really know this physical world that we live in.
Even today, few people believe what Jesus tells them. They choose not to recognize the power of Jesus. They choose not to believe in Him. They choose to believe in what they see and hear in this world. They choose to wait until another day, or believe it doesn't matter, that if they live a good, moral life, they will be rewarded by Jesus whether they choose to follow him in this life or not. They miss the fact that we are told we must OBEY Jesus, not just believe in Him. The Devil believes...is he going to inherit Heaven?
