Sermon Title: “Christ and Life’s Big Stuff”
Sermon Text: John 5:21-23
Read John 5:19-23. List the ways given in this text that Jesus identifies with the Father. Write these in the space below.
Explain how John 5:21 asserts that Jesus Christ gives life to people. What kind of life is this? How does the text in saying, “to whom He will”, show the sovereignty and mercy of Jesus Christ in giving life to those He chooses?
John 5:22 states that Jesus Christ has the authority and power to judge. This passage also says that Jesus is given this authority by the heavenly Father. In what sense does Jesus judge through the gospel? What does the gospel assert to those who disbelieve in Christ, and how is this judgment? How does this judgment relate to Christ’s second coming?
In John 5:23 the Bible connects Jesus’ honor with God the Father’s honor. How does this speak to us about honoring the Lord Jesus if we want to honor the heavenly Father? How does this help us to understand that if we want to honor the heavenly Father, then we must honor the Lord Jesus, for their honor is related?
The sermon today takes these three categories about which Jesus speaks (giving life to the dead, sovereignty in judgment, and honor with the Father) concerning His deity. How does this passage take these three categories and show how Jesus Christ is God? Write a comprehensive statement in the space below, explaining how this passage elevates and exalts Jesus Christ as God.
