¹⁸ This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.

¹⁹ 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. ²⁰ For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. ²¹ For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. ²² For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, ²³ that all may honor the Son, just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent him. ²⁴ Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Sermon from May 11, 2025 by Pastor Bill Walker of Unity Bible Church, Lewiston, ME. This is the 25th message from our series on The Gospel of John. This message from John 5:18-24 and was entitled “Jesus: Like Father…Like Son!”
This message will be the strangest Mother’s Day message ever… as we focus on John 5:18-24 where we will see “Like Father – Like Son”. 🙂 Yes, it is Mother’s Day and we will honor our mothers but it is also the Lord’s Day and will will worship Jesus Christ!
At Unity Bible Church, our vision is to see God glorified through our worship of Him, building up believers, and sharing the Good News of Christ.
