ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 5TH FEBRUARY 2024.
In the text, Jesus told the Jews that His Father and Himself have been working. This angered them and they really wanted to kill him because He broke the Sabbath and by calling God His Father, made Himself equal to God.
Jesus also told them that (i) The Son does what He sees the Father do.
(ii)The Father loves the Son and shows Him all that He does and will show Him greater works.
(iii) As the father gives life to the dead, the Son also gives life to whom He wills.
(iv) The Father has committed all judgment to the Son.
(v) Men should honour both the Father and the Son.
(vi) Both the Father and Son have life in themselves.
(vii) Jeus’ judgment is righteous because He seeks the Father’s will. We notice a very special relationship between God the Father, and Jesus Christ, the Son. They cooperate in the area of work as the Son does similar works as the Father. Do you have a relationship with God as your Father? You need to cooperate with your Heavenly Father in all that you do in your home, work, business and society. Seek to do God’s will today wherever you go.
PRAYER: Help me, O God, to do Your will in all that I do or say.
