His Own Words: Claims of Jesus in the Gospel of John

Jesus every communication from the God who sent him is rebuffed by being too incredible to believe or even hold in the minds eye for more than a couple seconds. This makes his words and sentences claims.Why? Simply because we dont have the ability to believe them! Think about this. The simple statement that God had sent him here as light bounces off like gibberish. Too ethereal. Too wild. Hearers simply toss it out and walk away...but with that little nagging consciousness that if God really sent a man this is exactly what he would be like. Among the common people as well as the leadership he simply could not be dismissed. The fact that they were spoken have stood for 2000 years and continue to get identical response from each successive generation demonstrates their universal applicability over two millenia. No better or more individual-touching criteria could be devised whereby to gauge humankinds response. I say this to anticipate the question how can one mans words to a few folks in a small mid-eastern country twenty centuries ago serve to put the entire race of men on trial? Ill turn that around: How would you do it if you were God mankinds maker?
