John 3:31-36
He who comes from above is above all. He who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks in an earthly way. He who comes from heaven is above all. He bears witness to what he has seen and heard, yet no one receives his testimony. Whoever receives his testimony sets his seal to this, that God is true. For he whom God has sent utters the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (ESV)

God uses his Son to speak to us. Without the Son we can only speak of the earth. God is pleased to give us the words to teach others about Him and will provide these words in abundance to all who believe in Him and have eternal life. These words should be used to bring others to a closer relationship with God. Those who use these words unbelievingly will experience the wrath of God and live in darkness. Let’s pray today for our Pastors and leaders and for ourselves that we might be using God’s words for His glory.
