As I read through the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ life the thing that keeps jumping out at me is how foreign Jesus’ words sound to us here on earth. He continually talks about having come from somewhere else or having existed before Abraham existed; those kinds of things. Today, he does it again!
I am telling you what I have seen in the Father’s presence, and you are doing what you have heard from your father.
John 8: 38
Before Jesus was born on earth he was in the Father’s presence and he remembers what that was like. Jesus knows what God knows and does what God wants him to do. He also knows who his adversaries are. He knows who their father is and he knows it is not God.
Q: Does the fact that Jesus knew what it is like to be in heaven with God before he was born a man make a difference to you?
