John 8:17-18 Even in your law, it has been written that the testimony of two men is true. I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."
The testimony of the Father about Jesus is the same as Jesus’ testimony about Himself. The Father’s miraculous work through Jesus testified that Jesus was His Son. The unity of their testimony gives us confidence to recognize Jesus’ lordship, entrust our lives to Him, and trust Him for our salvation. The Father’s testimony through His Son is that God is love, and He is still testifying through us that He is love as we live to love with Jesus. Our testimonies are not what we do for God, but what He does for and through us.
The Father testified about Jesus by working through and with Him. Be in awe at the corollary: Jesus testifies that He is with us, and we are His by loving through and with us. So we can testify about ourselves that we are His if we say the same things Jesus does and love like He loves. If Jesus sent us into this world to be the revelation of His love, He will testify about us by filling us with love for Him and love for others. What glory to God, and what a privilege and joy for Jesus and us.
