In John 5, Jesus confronts the most serious Bible students of His day with a warning that still lands: "You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life, and it is they that bear witness about me — yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life." They knew the text cold, and walked right past the One it was written about. Today's reading sits with that danger — having the Book and missing its point — and with Jesus' startling claim that Moses himself testifies to Him. It closes on the sharpest line in the chapter: unbelief is not first a thinking problem but a glory problem.
