Bible Verse of The Day – 9-28-22

John 3:34 (NKJV) 34 For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.

John the Baptist had a unique way of speaking. He was not swayed by anyone who tried to influence or intimidate him.

And when he spoke truth, he spoke it boldly. God had prepared him to be a force to be reckoned with.

In the verse above, he spoke a truth that caught my attention. And I will admit that I had never seen this before today.

In this verse, he was not referring to himself, but about Jesus; the One whom God had sent.

Let’s take a closer look at it.

John started out by stating, “For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God”.

He wanted others to know that when Jesus spoke, He was speaking the words of God.

Jesus Himself stated more than once that His words were not His own, but the words of the Father.

John 12:49 (NKJV) 49 For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.

But take note of what John said toward the end of the verse; “God does not give the Spirit by measure”.

This means that Jesus was given the fulness of the Holy Spirit, not just a measure of it.

The Father wanted Him to be fully, amply equipped for the task He had ahead of Him, not lacking anything.

And it is evident that He absolutely was fully equipped when we look at His life and the things He carried out while He was here on earth.

Jesus was God and man, rolled into one; the only human to ever walk perfectly His entire life.
