CHRIST SON OF GOD AND AUTHORITY BY THE FATHER

CHRIST SON OF GOD AND AUTHORITY BY THE FATHER  JOHN 5:19-29

Please note that from 19-47 He alone was speaking trying to make them understand he is from God so the inverted comma was open from 19 and closed in verse 47.  He used the word I AM and I in verses 19, 24, 25, 30, 41, 45,  to lay emphasis on his identity as the Son of God.

 

So Jesus answered them, 19“I am telling you the truth: the Son can do nothing on his own; he does only what he sees his Father doing.  What the “Father does, the Son also does. For the Father loves the son and Shows him all that he himself is doing.  He will show him even greater things to do than this; and you will all be amazed.  Just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, in the same way the Song gives lie to those he wants to. Nor does the Father himself judge anyone. He has given his Son the full right to judge so that all will honour the Son in the same way they honour the Father.

Whoever does not honour the Son does not honour the Father who sent him.

24I am telling you the truth; those who hear my words and believe in him who sent me have eternal life.  They will not be judged, but have already passed from death to life. 25 I am telling you the truth; the time is coming – the time has already come – when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear it will come to life. Just as the Father himself the source of life, in the same way he has made his Son to be the source of life.  And he has given the Son the right to judge, because he is the Son of Man.  Do not be surprised at this; the time is coming when all the dead will hear his voice and come out of their graves those who have done good will rise and live, and those who have done evil will rise and be condemned.”

Heavenly Father, pour out your love and mercy on us. Help us understand that you sent your Son Jesus Christ our Redeemer to set us free bondage, that we may have life eternal.
