Spurgeon
"A priest was always ordained by sacrificial blood, cleansing water, and oil that spoke of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. So Jesus also had these three witnesses to His priestly ministry." Slide6
Tertullian 155-240 AD
Most likely, John means the water of Jesus' baptism, and the blood of His crucifixion. John 3:5: Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. The being born of water in this passage speaks of the cleansing waters of baptism.Slide7
1 John 5:6
This is He who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.Slide8
1 John 5:7-8
For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.Slide9
1 John 5:7-8 KJV
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.Slide10

For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.Slide21

For Our Consideration
Why is our understanding of the Trinity a hill worth dying upon?Why is it important that Jesus is both fully God and fully man?Water, blood, and Spirit all point back to Jesus – why? How?Do we believe God’s testimony revealed in/about His Word?Slide26
