John 5:31-47 | The Doorway to Relationship
John 5:31-47 | The Doorway to Relationship
Jesus has previously claimed in John 5, that He is equal with God, that He will judge the world, and that He is the only source of life.
In John 5: 32-40, we explore Jesus going on both the offense and defense of these claims. In defense, Jesus calls to witness the Father, the Forerunner in John the Baptist, the Works for Jesus to accomplish, and the Words of Scripture. In John 5:41-47, Jesus goes on the offensive. He speaks on their dependence and hope on the law of Moses, but do not seek Jesus, of whose glory comes from the Father.
John 5:18-30 | Jesus Gives Life
John 5:18-30 | Jesus gives life
In today's sermon, "Jesus Gives Life," we explore the profound truths found in John 5:18-30. Jesus offers us eternal life, not just in terms of endless duration, but also in its richness and abundance—transforming our existence into one filled with divine quality.
While we were created for community, our fallen nature often pushes us toward independence; yet, in Christ, our redeemed selves long for true dependence on Him. Instead of looking within for solutions, we must recognize that such introspection is part of the problem.
Ultimately, Jesus grants us life, freeing us from judgment and ushering us into a new existence where we are born again through Him.
