“He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” (John 5:23 NKJV)

Honoring (worshiping) Jesus is the only way to offer acceptable worship to God. There is no lack of clarity in this. All other worship is vain. Jesus is the glory of God revealed to us. He is God’s fullest and final revelation. Rejecting Jesus is to reject God. Receiving Jesus is to receive all that the Father has for us, so that we may worship Him in Spirit and in Truth, receiving eternal life and adoption into God’s family. Honor Jesus.

“So Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise'” (John 5:19 ESV)

Jesus described His method of seeing what the Father was doing and then joining Him in His work. There is a great principle of understanding here. Rather than asking God to join you in your plans, begin to look and ask what God is already doing and then join Him in His work. This kind of following means listening and looking before speaking and acting. When we look to join the Father in His work, we begin to follow as Christ did, and as His body, which is the church, should.

“You search the Scriptures because you think they give you eternal life. But the Scriptures point to me!” (John 5:39)

Jesus is the criterion by which the Bible is interpreted. He is the Living Word, the Logos, who was, and is, and is to come. Apart from faith in Jesus, the Scripture cannot be rightly understood. Hearing His voice, he opens the Scripture to us and our hearts burn with understanding (Luke 24:32).

“For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he is doing” (John 5:20)

Rather than asking God to join us today, Let’s ask Him to show us what He’s doing and join Him there.

What to Believe?

August 28, 2011 | John 5-8 | belief

Pastor Gary Combs continues the series through the Gospel of John entitled “BELIEVE.” This message from chapter 5 through 8 asks “Does it matter what we believe?” John says that it does as he shares the claims of Jesus and the witnesses and proofs to those claims. Jesus claims to be God!

March 21, 2010 | John 5:17-20
