John 5:19-29: Authority over Life and Death

John 5:19-29: Authority over Life and Death

Today’s message flows out of last week’s. There, Jesus healed a man, who had been lame for 38 years, but he did not believe. Here, Jesus proclaims He will do even greater works than this, works of life and death. As we “shelter in place,” Jesus’ words of life—his declaration of authority over death itself should bring us great encouragement. He holds death and life in His hands, and we can trust Him.
