S – As he was teaching in the temple, Jesus cried out, “You know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the one who sent me is true. You don’t know him; ²⁹ I know him because I am from him, and he sent me.” 

John 7:28–29 CSB

O – Commentary:

He responded to their supposed knowledge of Him (7:27) with irony. He is from the Father. God is true (“reliable”; cf. v. 18; 8:26) and had sent Jesus. Whereas His enemies did not know Jesus or God (1:18; cf. Matt. 11:27), Jesus knows the Father because of His origin (John 1:1, 14, 18) and divine mission.

“John,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – Jesus asserts who sent him and that God is true.  Later, when he says, “I am the truth, the way and the life,” it assigns the unity with God and that he is indeed the messiah.  What we decide about Jesus today is the foundation of our relationship with God.  Each of us has an opportunity to choose him as our Lord and savior.  Will we do that or will he remain a historical figure without spiritual impact to our lives?

R – Heavenly Father, you are holy and worthy of all praise.  We accept that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior.  We recognize that he was God who came in the form of a man.  We are grateful for the price he paid on the cross for our sins and that we can have relationship with you.  Thank you, God.
