We know Jesus Christ is above all because John the Baptist stated it in Scripture, asserting His divine authority and eternal nature.
John the Baptist emphasized the preeminence of Jesus when he declared, 'He that cometh from above is above all' (John 3:31). This truth speaks not only to Christ’s authority as the Son of God but also to His eternal existence as part of the Holy Trinity. His miraculous works fulfilled prophecies and demonstrated His sovereignty, showing that He indeed holds dominion over all creation. Furthermore, the consistent message throughout Scripture supports this claim, affirming that Jesus is the source of eternal life and truth, making Him worthy of our worship and devotion. This understanding helps us place our trust in Him rather than in our fleeting human strengths.
