In John 5, Jesus responded to a charge of blasphemy with a series of claims declaring His unity with God the Father. Although He was known as the son of Joseph the carpenter, Jesus was and is completely one with God. His authority is the same as His Father’s, and He does not and cannot act independently of Him. Alistair Begg reminds us that it is only through Christ Jesus the Son that we may know and honor God as our Father.
19So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, ethe Son fcan do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father5 does, that the Son does likewise. 20For gthe Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And hgreater works than these will he show him, so that iyou may marvel. 21For as the Father jraises the dead and kgives them life, so lalso the Son gives life mto whom he will. 22nFor the Father judges no one, but ohas given all judgment to the Son, 23that all may honor the Son, just as they phonor the Father. qWhoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. 24Truly, truly, I say to you, rwhoever hears my word and sbelieves him who sent me has eternal life. He tdoes not come into judgment, but uhas passed from death to life.
25“Truly, truly, I say to you, van hour is coming, and is now here, when wthe dead will hear xthe voice of the Son of God, and those who hear wwill live. 26yFor as the Father has life in himself, zso he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27And he ahas given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of Man. 28Do not marvel at this, for van hour is coming when ball who are in the tombs will hear his voice 29and come out, cthose who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment.
30d“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and emy judgment is just, because fI seek not my own will gbut the will of him who sent me.
