John 5:18-29 - "Jesus' authority."


Listen Later

This week, we continue in John 5—and the tension rises.

Last week, we saw a man healed after 38 years at the Pool of Bethesda…
But instead of celebration, it led to confrontation.

This week, we step into what comes next:

👉 Why were the religious leaders seeking to kill Jesus?
👉 What did Jesus actually claim about Himself?
👉 And why does this moment force every person to make a decision?

Jesus doesn’t soften His words—He makes them stronger.

“My Father is working until now, and I am working.” (John 5:17)
“Whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.” (John 5:19)

In this episode, we unpack:
• Jesus’ claim to equality with the Father
• His authority to give life and execute judgment
• What “Truly, truly” really means
• Why belief in Christ is more than intellectual—it’s surrender
• And why getting Jesus wrong means getting everything wrong

This isn’t just theology…
This is the foundation of the Gospel.

Jesus is not presenting Himself as a teacher or prophet—
He is revealing Himself as God in the flesh.

And that changes everything.

📖 Based on John 5:18–29 

🎧 Listen now and be grounded in the truth of who Christ really is.
