Many of the people put their faith in him

Jesus went on to say, "When you have lifted up the Son of Man, you will know who I am. You will also know that I don't do anything on my own. I say only what my Father taught me. The one who sent me is with me. I always do what pleases him, and he will never leave me."

After Jesus said this, many of the people put their faith in him.

John 8:28-30

I find it fascinating to observe John’s commentary that after Jesus’ words here, many of the people listening put their faith in him. Why, what was so significant about these remarks? I believe that they communicate a depth of relationship between Jesus and the Father that must have been incredibly attractive to his listeners. They would have seen the miracles; so beginning to comprehend the love relationship between Jesus and the Father that motivated and empowered him must have been breathtaking.
