John 8:28, “I do nothing of my own initiative.”

So Jesus responded, “When you hoist up the Son of Man, you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father has instructed Me,” according to the New International Version. (See also John 8:28.) Jesus’ statement in John 8:28, “I do nothing of myself,” is puzzling. Isn’t he God, and so entitled to do anything he wants? The fundamental teaching of Christian theology is that Jesus is both divine and human at the same time. In other words, Jesus possesses two distinct personalities: those of God and those of man.

1. Additionally, the Bible states in Col.
2. Even though Jesus appeared to be God, the Scriptures reveal that he humbled himself (Phil.
3. 2:9), as well as subject to the law (Luke 23:34).
4. 4:4).
5. However, his divine nature was collaborating with humanity’s limitations in order to fulfill the Law and ultimately die for our sins.

1. So Jesus responded, “When you hoist up the Son of Man, you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father has instructed Me,” according to the Bible. The Bible states in John 8:28 that It is unclear why Jesus said in John 8:28, “I do nothing of my own own.” Can’t he do anything he wants because he’s God? Jesus is both god and human at the same time, according to fundamental Christian theology. As a result, Jesus is both divine and human at the same time. These scriptures, which state that “the Word was with God and was God,” (John 1:1), and that “the Word became flesh and dwell among us,” (John 1:14) provide evidence in favor of this position (John 1:14). Furthermore, the Bible states in Col. 2:9 that “in Jesus resides all the fullness of the Godhead and bodily form.” So Jesus is both divine and human at the same time, all in the same individual. Even though Jesus appeared to be God, the Scriptures reveal that he humbled himself (Phil. 2:5-8), and in doing so was made for a little period of time lower than the angels (Heb. 2:9), as well as subject to the law (Luke 22:42). (Gal. 4:4). In order to fulfill the Law and ultimately die for our sins, we would see him grow in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:52), because he was both a man and a divine being. However, his divine nature was cooperating with humanity’s limitations in order for him to fulfill the Law and ultimately die for our sins. The biblical passages mentioned above allow us to infer certain conclusions.

After laying the groundwork, it becomes clear why Jesus would claim that he was powerless to act on his own initiative. It wasn’t that he lacked the motivation or drive to accomplish his goals. The point here is that Jesus had come to execute the will of the father, and he was entirely subordinate to the father in every way. As a result, he was unable to take any action on his own initiative while in total submission. This does not rule out the possibility that Jesus is divine. It implies that Jesus, who possessed two natures, one of which was human, deliberately submitted himself to the law in the capacity of a man and acted entirely within the confines of a man’s necessities.

When they questioned Jesus, he replied with the words: “I tell you the truth, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself but what he seeth the Father do: for whatsoever things soever the Father doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.” 20For the Father loves the Son, and he reveals to him all that he himself does; and he will reveal to him even greater deeds than these, so that ye may be amazed.

Jesus then responded to their questions by declaring, “Verily, verily, I say to you, the Son can do nothing by himself save what he sees the Father do: for whatever things the Father does, these also doeth the Son in like manner.” – Webster’s New World Dictionary “I tell you, in the most solemn truth, that the Son can do nothing of himself—he can only do what he sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, the Son does in the same manner,” Jesus said.

– The Bible of Weymouth As a result, Jesus responded, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can accomplish nothing of himself except what he sees the Father doing.” Whatever he does, the Son also performs in the same manner that he does.

– From the Wycliffe Bible Therefore, Jesus reacted and said to them, “Truly, verily, I say unto you, The Son is powerless to do anything of himself if he does not witness his father doing anything; for whatever He may accomplish, these things likewise the Son doth in like fashion;” (Youngs Literal Bible).

Bible Commentary for John 5:19

5:19 No matter how hard he tries, the Son is powerless to save himself – this is not his flaw, but rather his splendor, which comes from his everlasting, intimate, and irrevocable union with the Father. As a result, it is completely impossible for the Son to judge, will, witness, or teach anything without the Father’s consent, as stated in John 5:30|,c; John 6:38; John 7:16; or for him to be known or believed in without the Father’s consent. And he defends his doing good every day, without interruption, by citing the example of his Father, from which he is unable to depart: these things doth the Son also – all of these, and only these; because he and the Father are one in essence.

People’s Bible Notes for John 5:19

The book of Jonah 5:19-21 After that, Jesus responded. In response to their allegation of blasphemy He demonstrates that the Father and the Son are in the most intimate of collaborations. What the Father does, the Son will also do, even if it means bringing the dead back to life in some cases.

I Only Do What I See The Father Doing • Deshen Daily Devotional

“Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own own, but only what he sees the Father doing,” Jesus said to them. Because everything the Father does, the Son accomplishes in the same way as well. (Jn. 5:19, New International Version). In his own words, Jesus stated, “I only do what I see the Father doing.” What is the significance of this statement? I’ve always been baffled by Jesus’ statements and questioned what he was truly trying to get through to me. He might have been referring to the fact that He had a vision of the Father taking a step before He took one.

1. Receiving a revelation of this passage will undoubtedly alter the course of your life!
2. It occurs when the Father, via the power of His Spirit, unlocks your understanding when you are meditating in a prayer-filled environment.
3. Seeing the Father was a depiction of the close relationship He shared with the Father, which was characterized by perfect oneness and submitting on His part.
4. The Father was entirely involved in His existence as a Man, resulting in His will and the Father’s will being the same as one another.
5. He understood what to do since He was aware of what the Father desired—and He carried out his instructions!

Seeing the Father was not the same as having spiritual visions on a regular basis. It was a point of such closeness that He was fully aware of God’s perfect will and was entirely surrendered to it at that moment.

Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life”

“I am the way, the truth, and the life,” Jesus says. “There is no other way to the Father but through me” (John 14:6). Christians are frequently chastised for stating that Jesus is the only way to reach God via faith. Because there are billions of non-Christians in the globe, this isn’t surprising. Is it really true that we are so narrow-minded and bigoted that we believe these individuals would be denied entry into paradise just because they were born in the wrong nation or were taught the wrong religion?

1. I don’t understand how this differs from other forms of spiritual racism.
2. 5 Those who object to such proposals have a valid argument.
3. One individual cannot have a monopoly on truth or proclaim his “way” to be the sole road to God, because neither of these things are possible.
4. There is only one God, and he took on the form of a man in the person of Jesus Christ to reveal himself to us.
5. If there is only one God, or if there are many, and whether there are numerous ways to know him or just one, an infinite creature may state with confidence that there is only one God.
6. He does not claim to be able to provide life; rather, he asserts that he is the source of all life.
7. This allegation was made by Jesus earlier in John’s gospel to the Jewish people who had come to hear him speak.

They worshiped the God revealed in the same Bible that Jesus read, and they were zealous in their pursuit of obedience to his laws and regulations.

Afterwards, Jesus informed the same group of people, “If you do not accept that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins” (John 8:24).

Wallace’s fame expanded tremendously as the number of victories he achieved increased.

.he claims that he is the only Way.

“Hello, my name is William Wallace.” A sceptical warrior, on the other hand, screamed, “William Wallace is seven feet tall!” “Yes, I’m aware of what you’re saying,” Wallace responded.

As well as fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning, if he were here, he’d engulf the English with his gaze” (laughter from the soldiers).

A large army of my countrymen is standing up against oppression, and I am heartened by this.

There was no other William Wallace in existence.

A similar situation occurred when the people of Israel read about God in their Scriptures, but now he had appeared to them personally.

On the same evening in which Jesus said, “No one comes to the Father except through me,” he also stated, “If you truly know me, you will also know my Father.” From this point forward, you are aware of him and have seen him” (4:6–71).

In response, Jesus said, “Don’t you know who I am, Philip, even after all this time that I have been among you?” Anyone who has seen me has also seen the Father, and vice versa.

(Voices 8–9) Neither was Jesus demonstrating arrogance, nor was he in the process of encouraging “spiritual racism.” He only expressed the obvious fact.

As Jesus roamed on planet, he demonstrated what he is genuinely like and provided us with the chance to come to know him personally.

“I am the way, the truth, and the life,” Jesus declares emphatically to us.

“There is no other way to the Father but through me.” Consider this:Jesus claims to be the Way. He’s saying that he’s the only way to do things. Following Jesus may necessitate the renunciation of other interests. How much of yourself would you have to give up in order to follow Jesus?5

Why Does Jesus Say He Is The Only Way To The Father?

Today, it is considered politically wrong to assert that Jesus Christ is the only path to the Father; thus, what do you say to those who do not believe this is the case?

The Way

“I am the way, the truth, and the life,” Jesus declared. “No one comes to the Father except through me,” says Jesus in John 14:6, but how does one get there? And what exactly is the truth and the life that Jesus was referring to? The early church was frequently referred to be “the way,” implying that it followed the teachings of Jesus, who declared Himself to be the way, the truth, and the life. Obviously, Jesus was referring to the fact that we can only reach the Father in heaven via trust in Him, and that “the life” is eternal for everyone who believe in Him (John 3:16).

Take note of the fact that “the Way” is capitalized.

Even though Paul was an Apostle sent to the Gentiles (to us!

The Truth

Jesus always said just what the Father wanted him to say, and because God cannot lie, anything the Father says through Christ is always true. Not just “a” truth, but “the” truth, as the saying goes. In the same way that Jesus is not one of several options, He is the one and only option. Although it is not politically acceptable to say something in public, it is true because Jesus said it, and He is the truth, and therefore it is correct. When Jesus spoke of the Word of God, he stated, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth” (John 17:17), which means that God’s Word is true, but also that the Word has the ability to sanctify those who hear it (and us).

In Ephesians 5:25-26, Paul instructs husbands to “love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.” This cleansing by water that the Word performs on us individually and collectively as the church is in order “to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain, wrinkle, or any other blemish, but holy and blameless” (Eph 5:27).

(Eph 5:27).

The longest book in the Bible (Psalm 119) is entirely devoted to the Law of God, also known as the Word of God, indicating that God desires us to place a high importance on His Word.

Be a matter of fact, Jesus is often referred to as the Word of God (John 1).

The Life

One of my all-time favorite memory passages is John 11:25-26, since these are the verses that, in my opinion, illustrate what He meant when He said He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6). In response to Martha’s sadness following the death of her brother Lazarushad four days earlier, Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” Anyone who believes in me will live even if he or she dies, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die, according to the Bible. According to John 11:25-26, Jesus is the source of eternal life for everyone who believe (John 3:16), and death will not separate them from the Lord when they die.

• Actually, the instant God brought someone to repentance and trust in Christ was the very beginning of their everlasting existence.
• Jesus is not referring to a physical body in this context.
• According to the writings of the Apostle John, Jesus was associated with “life,” saying, “In him was life, and the life was the light of humanity” (John 1:4).
• There is a decision to be made by every person, according to Jesus: “Whoever believes in the Son has everlasting life; whoever does not obey the Son will not see life, but the wrath of God will stay on him” (John 3:36).
• When something is destroyed, it does not always imply that it has ceased to exist.
• Running over a brick that was buried in the long grass nearly destroyed it, yet it still lives despite the fact that it was nearly destroyed.
• The difference between the two lives is that one is eternal life in the presence of God, while the other is the lack of God’s presence, despite the fact that God is literally everywhere.

Conclusion

Christians must not stray from their conviction that Jesus is the only way to enter the kingdom of heaven. Just be thankful that there is a way, and if someone criticizes you for your “narrow-minded thinking,” tell them, “At the very least, there is “a” way.” Furthermore, this is not my opinion; rather, it is straight from Jesus’ mouth. It is possible that you do not believe in Jesus if you do not think that He is the only Way.” We can be saved only through Jesus Christ, and there is no other name that has been given to us by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12; 16:30).

Jesus: Equal With God

In John 5:1-24, there are at least three main things that I see happening. In our previous reading, we saw one of these three main things, which was the healing of this man at Bethesda, as well as Jesus’ statement that the point of the healing was not to appease sign-seekers, but rather to bring about the conquest of sin.

1) A Healing to Conquer Sin

As a result, in verses 8–9, “Jesus told him to get up, take up his bed, and walk.” And the guy was instantly restored to health, and he sprang from his bed and began walking.” When the authorities interrogate him about carrying his bed on the Sabbath, the guy doesn’t even know who cured him since Jesus leaves so swiftly to avoid drawing too much attention to himself and his healing miracle. “Now the guy who had been healed did not recognize who it was since Jesus had gone because there was a large gathering in the location,” says verse 13.

It is revealed in verse 14: “Afterward, Jesus discovered him in the temple and said to him, ‘See, you are well!'” Do not sin any longer, so that nothing worse will happen to you.'” In other words, I’ve sought you out in order to explain the significance of what I did to you.

I overcame your illness with the goal of overthrowing your sin in the future.

Jesus’ Miracles: Not an End in Themselves

None of Jesus’ bodily miracles served as a goal in and of itself. Everything about him, about the kingdom of God, and about the spiritual and moral reforms that he is bringing about is revealed more fully in these passages. Jesus’ goal in feeding the five thousand people with a few loaves and fish was to demonstrate that he alone is the actual food from heaven (Luke 6:35). He had to tell the audience in John 6:26, “Truly, truly, I say to you,” he had to tell them, “You are seeking me, not because you witnessed signs, but because you ate your full of the loaves and fish” (John 6:26).

As a result, in John 5, he is admonishing the cured man, saying, “Don’t miss what your healing was a sign of.” It was all about your holiness that you received healing.

So seek to me for guidance and repent of your wrongdoing.

And we’ll go back to it at the end of the book.

To begin, let us examine each of these in turn, noting how they are interconnected and how they relate to the healing and its goal in the man’s holiness.

2) Jesus’ Relationship to the Father

Each and every one of Jesus’ bodily miracles was not intended to be a goal in and of itself. Everything about him, about the kingdom of God, and about the spiritual and moral revolutions that he is bringing about is revealed more fully in these verses. With just a few loaves and fish, Jesus demonstrated that he himself is the genuine bread from heaven. He also demonstrated that he himself is the true bread from heaven. As a result, in John 6:26, Jesus was forced to tell the throng that they were seeking him not because they had seen signs but because they had eaten their fill of the loaves and fishes (John 6:26).

• As a result, in John 5, he is admonishing the cured man, saying, “Don’t miss what your healing indicated.” It was all about your holiness that you were healed.
• Seek my guidance, and repent of your sin.
• And we’ll go back to it at the end of the discussion.
• To begin, let us examine each of these in turn, noting how they are interconnected and how they relate to the healing and its goal in the man’s sanctification.

Jesus Let It Stand

What is critical to understand here is not why they came to that conclusion, but rather that Jesus did nothing to change their minds. They were in attendance. We weren’t like that. They were able to see and hear the way Jesus spoke of God as his Father in his speech. In fact, it appears that there were sufficient indicators, both in what he said and in the manner in which he delivered it, that they concluded, “This is ridiculous.” In the way he speaks about God, this individual is truly behaving himself as if he is on an equal footing with God.

Specifically, he claims that 1) the Son does not—indeed, the Son is unable to—go his own way but must remain in perfect step with the Father; and 2) the Father does not go his own way but must act in perfect step with the Son.

Take each one of them one at a time.

Jesus Does Only What the Father Does

First and foremost, the Son does just what the Father does. They are in perfect harmony with one another. Verse 19 and 20: And Jesus told them: “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing on his own initiative, but only what he sees the Father doing.’ ” Because everything the Father does, the Son accomplishes in the same way as well. Because the Father loves the Son, he demonstrates to him all that he himself is doing.” One of the most essential statements in those verses is found in the second part of verse 19, which reads: “Whatever the Father does, that the Son also accomplishes.” As opposed to saying: Jesus picks certain things to do that he sees the Father doing and then promptly does what the Father is doing.

When the Father takes action, Jesus takes action.

And they came to the correct conclusion: you act as though you’re on an equal footing with him. You speak as if for him to act means that you must act as well—as if there is some kind of vital link or oneness between you and him.

The Father Acts in Step with Jesus

Second, it seems in verse 22 that the Father is acting in sync with the Son, indicating that the Father is acting in sync with the Son. “The Father does not judge anyone, but has delegated all judgment to the Son,” says verse 22. After reading this, you shouldn’t dismiss all you’ve just read in verse 19 as if it were suddenly no longer true. Instead, consider the following: “The Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing,” according to verse 19 of the Bible. In other words, when the Bible states in verse 22, “The Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son,” it cannot suggest that the Son is blind to the Father’s judgment yet goes ahead and judges nevertheless.

1. That is to say, God does pass judgment.
2. He doesn’t pass judgment on anyone like that.
3. In verse 23, Jesus says, “Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him.” This is the meaning of the passage.
4. It follows that if people honor him for who he truly is, God the Father will also be revered for who he truly is.
5. What people think of him ultimately determines their final verdict.
6. As a result, it appears to me that the section of verse 22 that says “The Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son” is a contradiction.

Two Implications

When I mentioned that the Son keeps perfect time with the Father and that the Father acts in perfect time with the Son, I was referring to two implications that we should take into consideration. We just happened to see one of them. It comes as a shock to the system in the twenty-first century, a society overflowing with plurality, with religions and worldviews and cultures and lifestyles all contending for our loyalty. Verse 23 says, “Whoever refuses to acknowledge his Son does not acknowledge his Father who sent him.” Instead, if you want to know if someone from another religion, or no religious affiliation at all, honors God (has a true worshipful relationship with God), the test you use to determine this is: Do they honor Jesus for who he truly is—as the divine Son of God, the Messiah, the crucified and risen Savior of the world, the Lord of the universe, and Judge of all human beings?

If they don’t, they aren’t honoring God’s commandments.

He is not brought before the court of law, but has passed from death to life.” It is astonishing what may happen when we hear the message of Jesus as delivered in the Gospel of John in its whole, rather than just some twisted portion of it, and if, as a result of that message and that person, we learn to believe God as the one who sent him for our redemption, two things happen.

1. Jesus has taken on the role of that judgment for us.
2. Likewise, his curse on the cross becomes our curse on the cross and his resurrection becomes our resurrection.
3. This is incredible news that can’t be expressed adequately.
4. As a believer, you should be aware of the following.
5. As a result, the first major concern in this text is the man’s recovery, with the ultimate goal of leading him to holiness.

3) The Issue of the Sabbath

There is still one major topic to address in the text, and that is the question of the Sabbath. Now, based on what we have learned about Jesus’ relationship with the Father, we have a framework upon which to understand Jesus’ response to their criticism. Recall that in verse 16, it states, “And this was why the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because he was performing these things—specifically, curing people on Fridays and Saturdays,” which refers to the Sabbath. What is Jesus’ reasoning for this?

I overcame sickness to demonstrate to you that I am determined to overcame sin.

In verse 17, he states, “My Father has been working till now, and I am working as well.”

What Is Jesus Saying?

What exactly is he saying? Something along these lines comes to mind. My Father and I made a flawless world, a paradise, and then we rested, not because we were exhausted, but rather because we wanted to take in the magnificent exhibition of our own glory that was shown in our creative craftsmanship as a result of our labor of love. That is what the Sabbath is for: to be in a state of relaxed concentration while enjoying God. When sin entered the earth, it brought disease, tragedy, and death with it.

We have been working on restoring a Sabbath paradise to the cosmos in a variety of methods that you are not aware of at this time.

Even your own law, which contains the Sabbath command, was a part of our efforts to defeat sin and keep the miseries of unrighteousness at bay, as well as to point you in the direction of a Messiah, a Savior, who would come and perform the decisive acts of restoration and transformation toward the new heavens and the new earth in the future.

What was taking place at the pool of Bethesda was that my Father and I were exposing the world that was about to be revealed.

“At this time, my Father is working, and I am also working.”

Repent and Rejoice

The depths of God’s wealth, wisdom, and understanding are beyond comprehension. “How impenetrable his judgements are, and how incomprehensible his methods!” (See Romans 11:33.) Whether you see it or not, the following is my answer to your claims that I violated the Sabbath: I and the Father are one and the same. We are the ones who created the world and the Sabbath. Since the beginning of time, when sin and disease entered the earth, my Father and I have been working together to restore Sabbath joy, healing, and rest to the world.

At the cross, I shall provide the definitive triumph for the Christian faith.

And I will return to fulfill my redemptive work in the future. And there will be no disease or sin in that kingdom because there would be no separation between God and man. Because of this, repent and rejoice in the fact that a guy has been spared from both on the Sabbath! Amen.
