The Wonder of Jesus' Words

I was blown away this afternoon by how Jesus characterizes His teaching in John 8:38:

ESV: "I speak of what I have seen with my Father..."

NIV: "I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence..."

When you listen to Jesus' words, you are hearing what the eternal Son experienced with His Father in the fellowship of the Trinity. The Word of Jesus is the disclosure of what the Father and the Son see together.

No wonder Jesus is so harsh on those who do not have a heart for His Word (8:37).
