“Jesus Christ is Lord.”
John_5:17-42
When the Jews upbraided our Lord for working a miracle upon the Sabbath, he replied with overwhelming arguments.
John_5:17
The processes of nature, which are the work of God, are not stopped upon the Sabbath. God and his Christ are above all law. Men themselves could not keep the Sabbath if the power of God were not in action to keep them alive.
John_5:19-20
He declared his own unity and equality with God, even though it excited yet greater wrath against him.
John_5:30
He never acted apart from the Father; he was always the Word of God.
John_5:31-35
He waives the usual objection that a man cannot bear witness to himself, and cites other evidence.
John_5:39
His appeal is to the Scripture which they themselves reverenced. Truly it teems with testimony concerning him.
John_5:40
Alas, this is still true of mankind!
Of the Father’s love begotten,
Ere the world began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the source, the ending he.
This is that divine Messiah
Promised in the faithful word,
Whom the voices of the prophets
Heralded with one accord.
Christ, to thee, with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
Hymn, and psalm, and high thanksgiving,
And unwearied praises be!
