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

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 wrongThis 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.🙏 Need prayer or want to connect?
