John 5:20 - Forerunner Commentary

John 5:20

18 Therefore the Jews ^asought all the more to kill Him, because He not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was His Father, ^bmaking Himself equal with God.

19 Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, ^athe Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.

20 For ^athe Father loves the Son, and ^bshows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works than these, that you may marvel.

21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, ^aeven so the Son gives life to whom He will.

22 For the Father judges no one, but ^ahas committed all judgment to the Son,

23 that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. ^aHe who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.

John 5:19-21

The work that God is doing is not the work of a physical creation, but it is the work of a spiritual creation. He is creating sons in His image. And Christ is Redeemer; He is Deliverer; He is Savior—and that's His work! What does He spend His time doing? He spends His time healing. He spends His time forgiving sin. He spends His time teaching the way of God. He spends His time doing good. That's His part in the work of God.

The greatest gift, I guess you might say, that God can give to a person is eternal life; and the Son will do that too. That is the great release—the great deliverance—that comes at the end.
