3:35
“The Father loves the Son and has given all things into His hand”. Everything has been entrusted to the Son, so we had better pay attention to Him! The religious leaders of the day expressed an opinion that they did not need to listen to Jesus. Their opinion counts for nothing. Likewise, today the opinion of anyone who denies the Christ is the Messiah is worthless. Too often we judge Jesus, it is not for us to judge Him! We are to listen to Him!
3:36
This verse sums things up very nicely. If someone believes in the Son then they have eternal life. If someone rejects the Son then they do not have eternal life. 1 John 5:12 says the same thing. Note the phrase “the wrath of God remains on him”. I’ve said it before and will say it again, asking why should someone go to hell simply for not believing in Jesus completely misunderstands the situation. We are all by nature under the wrath of God. The only way for that wrath to be removed is for us to put our faith in Christ.
