John 6 and 8
Credenda:
Jesus was sent directly from God the Father to do the Father's will.
Agenda:
It's amazing to think of a 30 year old man, just starting his ministry (no Messiah complex on my part, but the parallels do give one pause), confronting all the combined wisdom of the wise and aged sages of His day. His confidence is much greater than ours can ever be, because of Who He is. He calls them all the seed of the serpent, for crying out loud (John 8:44; see Genesis 3:15). But then again, I can be confident, knowing that I am His disciple, I know the truth, and I am free (John 8:31-32).
