2020 Vision Pt 11
John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life!
Jesus’ Deity Is Biblically Undeniable
John 5:16-18 Because Jesus was doing these things on the Sabbath, the Jewish leadership persecuted Him. Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at His work to this very day, I, too, am working.” For this reason, they tried harder to kill Him; for not only was He breaking the Sabbath, but He was even calling God His own Father, making Himself equal with God.

John 5:19 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do: for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
The Father’s Abilities Are The Sons Abilities
John 5:20-21 The Father loves the Son and shows Him all that He does: He will show Him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. For as the Father raises up the dead and quickens them; even so the Son quickens whom He will…
Biblical Acknowledgement Of God Demands Equal Acknowledgement Of Jesus
John 5:22-23 The Father judges no man, but He has committed all judgment to the Son: In order that all men should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father. He that honors not the Son honors not the Father which hath sent Him.
The Promises Of The Lord Are 100% Certain!

The Son Of God Grants Spiritual Life To Those Who Care To Hear
John 5:25-27 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in Himself; so hath He given to the Son to have life in Himself; He hath given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of man.
The Total Authority Of Jesus Christ Will Be Fully Exonerated At The Final Resurrection
John 5:28-30 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear His voice and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. I can of Mine Own Self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: My judgment is just; because I seek not Mine Own will, but the will of the Father Who has sent Me.
Human Witness To Jesus Christ’s Identity Can Be Persuasive
John 5:31-35 If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. There is another that bears witness of Me; I know that the witness which he witnessed of Me is true. Ye sent unto John, he bore witness unto the truth. But I receive no testimony from man: these things I say, so that ye might be saved. He was a burning and shining light: ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
Supernatural Witness Proves Exactly Who Jesus Is
John 5:36 I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father has given Me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of Me, that the Father hath sent Me.
The Witness Of God As Contained In Holy Writ Confirms The Identity Of Jesus Christ
John 5:37-40 The Father Himself, Who sent Me, has borne witness of Me. Ye have neither heard His voice at any time, nor seen His shape. And ye have not His word abiding in you: for Whom He hath sent, Him ye believe not. Ye search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: they testify of Me. And ye will not come to Me, that ye might have life!
Acceptance Of The Lord Requires The Rejection Of Manmade Respect
John 5:41-44 I do not receive honor from men; I know you, that you have not the love of God in you. I am come in My Father’s Name and ye receive Me not: if another comes in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, who receive honor from one another and seek not the honor that comes from God alone?
To Believe The Bible Is To Believe Jesus To Reject Jesus Is To Reject The Bible
John 5:45-47 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust. For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed Me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My words?
