Riddle me this…

For some reason, I am compelled to post this blog entry. I would like this post to be a guessing game… try to guess who said these lines. The clue will be posted right after.

"If I were to testify on my own behalf, my testimony would not be valid. But someone else is also testifying about me, and I assure you that everything he says about me is true. In fact, you sent investigators to listen to John the Baptist, and his testimony about me was true. Of course, I have no need of human witnesses, but I say these things so you might be saved. John was like a burning and shining lamp, and you were excited for a while about his message. But I have a greater witness than John—my teachings and my miracles. The Father gave me these works to accomplish, and they prove that he sent me. And the Father who sent me has testified about me himself. You have never heard his voice or seen him face to face, and you do not have his message in your hearts, because you do not believe me—the one he sent to you.

"You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me! Yet you refuse to come to me to receive this life."

So, anyone already guessed who? If yes, great! But if not, then here is the clue. This passage is taken from the Gospel according to the Apostle John, chapter 5 verses 31 to 40, using the New Living Translation. I'll have to make it convenient for anyone reading to figure out who said this, by clicking on this link: http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%205;&version=51;
