3285.—Enoch, Elijah, and John 3:13

In view of the fact that Enoch and Elijah had been translated to heaven, and that Moses had been resurrected, how would you show the harmony between these facts and John 3:13? R. S.

It is easy to be understood if we will remember that Jesus is speaking of His divine mission. No man had ascended into heaven and come back to tell the news. Christ Jesus, the Son of God, was the only One who had thus declared God. Men had ascended into heaven, but not to learn of God and then come back to tell it. The Son of God only came from heaven filled with the Father's love, to reveal the Father.
