John 3:11. Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
Christ speaks with an authority that no mere human teacher can ever possess.
John 3:11. We speak that we do know, and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
In a certain sense, every true minister of Christ and every true child of God, can say this, for we know that there is a spiritual kingdom. We have seen it, we have entered into it; and we can testify that there is another life which is as much superior to the ordinary life of men as the life of men is superior to that of the brutes that perish; and we know that we have that superior life. We have other eyes than these eyes that are visible, and other ears than the ears of our flesh. There is a higher and better life to be enjoyed even now, and he that believeth in Christ has that life. "We speak that we do know and testify that we have seen;" and yet, though our testimony would be believed if we gave it concerning anything else, we are not believed when we witness concerning this higher and better life.
