John 5v19-23
The harmony
of His work “Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son
can do nothing of Himself; but what he seeth the Father do: for what things He
seeth the Father do, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son and showeth him
all things that Himself doeth: and He will show Him greater works than these,
that may marvel. For, as the Father
raising up the dead and quickeneth them, even so the Son quickeneth whom He
will. For the Father judges no man, but
hath committed all judgment unto the Son, that all men should honour the Son,
even as they honour the Father; he that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the
Father which hath sent Him.”
Jesus underlines the equality and harmony in the Godhead, much to
the chagrin of the Jews disputing with Him.
We note the inner workings of Divine beings, marked by harmony and
humility, and honour. Jesus did not act
independently, but always in contact, and in unison with the Father. Why would you alter perfection, for God is
justified in all His ways? He also acts
in humility, as for the purposes of redemption the Son subjects Himself to the Father. The verses are full of the relationship
between the Father and the Son.

Honour to the Son is honour to the Father, and honour to the
