John chapter 5 verse 19

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.

Oh, I love this verse.

Think about what Jesus is saying here.

He's describing how he relates to the father. He says the son can do nothing of

his own accord so Jesus is saying I do nothing by myself independent of the Father.

This is just like a glimpse into the Trinity and how the Trinity works.

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.

So there's this union between the father and the son, the son operating in total alignment with, and total accord with, the father, knowing, so the father is working and the son is working, and they're working together.

So there's obviously just so much here to think about when it comes to the Trinity and the mystery of the Trinity and what what Jesus

says after this all throughout John chapter 5 as he talks about his authority and

and his relationship to the Father but here's here's what I want to encourage you with today, even as I'm encouraged by this,

because for all of us who have trusted in Jesus, he lives in us.

His spirit, the Holy Spirit, so there's the third person of the Trinity,

dwells inside of you, dwells inside of me, is directing, leading, guiding us.

So we're filled with the Holy Spirit. And so how do we live?

Well, based on John 519, I want to live in total accord with the son and the father and the spirit like I want to do whatever he desires me to do.

I want to work in tandem with conjunction with him.
