Jesus makes a sweeping declaration about belief. When a person chooses to believe the words of the Savior, eternal clarity is the result. True faith not only embraces the person of Jesus but also puts their faith in the Father in heaven.

The role of Jesus as the messenger of the plans of the Father are powerfully presented and humbly lifted up. It is the Father who sent the Son. Understanding of this amazing dynamic becomes clear to everyone who chooses to believe in Jesus.

What occurs because of faith in Jesus is astounding. Instead of simply receiving spiritual insight of a limited nature, new birth opens up spiritual living that is described as passing from darkness into the light. Jesus is the perfect servant who carries out the Father’s will even to the very words that Jesus spoke.

Those who have ears to hear, receive the good news that faith in what Jesus spoke leads to eternal life. The message by the Father and the Son are one and the same. God makes it clear what he wants man to hear. Stunning! Jn12
