Reading for July 5: John 3:31

31 He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. John 3:31(NKJV)

Comments:

In the remaining verses of this chapter John is going to give five reasons to accept the absolute supremacy of Jesus Christ. The first of the five is that Christ has a heavenly origin. He says twice in this verse that He, meaning Jesus, is from above or from heaven. And because of that fact, He is above all, that is He is sovereign over the universe and all men in particular.
