I hope everyone has a little bit of time to read these everyday for this week and you are not left with 7 of these next Monday to go through. As I said they are all pretty pithy but I pray they are over following and filled with the Spirit.
Jhn 5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
- What things may we yet see that we shall marvel at?
- Scriptural reference (Prov 8:24-30).
One of, if not the prominent underlying purpose of this gospel is to declare that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God, and that in believing ye might know you have eternal life through His name and deed (John 20:31). There is a strong reoccurring theme throughout the Book of John of the Devine deity of Christ. This and following are some of the more prominent examples. We will examine a seven-fold proof of the deity of Christ as we study verse 17 through 29. We will look as the Lord sets before the Jews and for all that read here an absolute equality and oneness with His Father and I have a personal hope that we may believe and have eternal life.
Looking at the relationship between Jesus and the Father, third in knowledge there is not one that is greater than the other. In this verse we once again see the oneness with the Father in seeing and knowing all things. There is no other creation capable or able to know and understand all the ways and workings of the Lord. But the Son knows, for He was with Him from the beginning and even now sees all things that He does and in time will reveal even greater things and we shall marvel.
