Go forth thankful for the life He has given and thoughtful for how to honor Him.

2. John 5:16-17
And this was why the Jews were
persecuting Jesus, because he was doing
these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus
answered them, “My Father is working until
now, and I am working.”

3. John 5:18-19
This is why the Jews were seeking all the
more to kill him, because not only was he
breaking the Sabbath, but he was even
calling God his own Father, making himself
equal with God. So Jesus said to them,
“Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do
nothing of his own accord, but only what
he sees the Father doing. For whatever the
Father does, that the Son does likewise.

4. John 5:20-22
For the Father loves the Son and shows him
all that he himself is doing. And greater
works than these will he show him, so that
you may marvel. For as the Father raises
the dead and gives them life, so also the
Son gives life to whom he will. For the
Father judges no one, but has given all
judgment to the Son,

5. John 5:23-24
that all may honor the Son, just as they
honor the Father. Whoever does not honor
the Son does not honor the Father who
sent him. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever
hears my word and believes him who sent
me has eternal life. He does not come into
judgment, but has passed from death to
life.

6. John 5:25-27
Truly, truly, I say to you, an hour is coming,
and is now here, when the dead will hear
the voice of the Son of God, and those who
hear will live. For as the Father has life in
himself, so he has granted the Son also to
have life in himself. And he has given him
authority to execute judgment, because he
is the Son of Man.

7. John 5:28-29
Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming
when all who are in the tombs will hear his
voice and come out, those who have done
good to the resurrection of life, and those
who have done evil to the resurrection of
judgment.”
