But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I heard from God: this did not Abraham.
You seek to kill Me, yet Abraham never acted that way. He was known for love of God and man, for hospitality, for receiving God's revelations however strange they seemed. By seeking My death instead of welcoming truth, you show you have none of Abraham's spirit.

The Baptist was a burning lamp sent to witness to that Light; but He alone is the true Light that lightens every man coming into the world, the Messiah promised of old.
