Good Short Summary of John 5

Andreas Kostenberger has a good summary of John 5, which we finish reading today:

“For John, then, this fourth sign by Jesus [the healing of the lame man] points beyond itself to who Jesus is: the eternal life-giver. Tragically, Jesus’ opponents, in their concern for legal obedience, miss the coming of the one who is life itself; in their concern for the study of the Scriptures, they miss the coming of the one of whom the Scriptures spoke (5:39-40, 45-47); and their discipleship of Moses keeps them from following their Messiah (9:28).”
