MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD

July 31 - Start Your Day Right Devotion

(KJ) John 5:18-24 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD

Jesus makes several astounding claims here:

1. God is His Father in a unique way; 
2. He maintains unity, communication and authority with God (John 5:19-20).
3. He has the power to give life and raise the dead (John 5:21).
4. He has the right to judge all people (John 5:22). 
5. He has the equal right to divine honor (the kind of respect only God deserves, John 5:23).
6. He has the power to give eternal life (John 5:24). 

But with all of this, notice how Jesus describes His complete dependence on His Father (John 5:19; 8:28). If Jesus, who was Himself God, had to depend on the Father, how much more do we need to rely on Him and spend time with Him - through prayer and God's Word - so we can find guidance and spiritual strength.
