In response to the Pharisees’ anger over Jesus breaking the sabbath and declaring Himself to be God, Christ presents three witnesses to authenticate His position as Messiah: the ministry of John the Baptist, the miracles that were performed, and the message of scripture. He is indeed the Christ, the Son of God!
Equal with God
July 7, 2024 • John Anderson • John 5:18–29
The Jewish religious leaders were incensed that Jesus claimed to be God. But Jesus actually came to earth to show us what God is like! He was here on God’s behalf, doing God’s business. We are blessed that He came as Savior, but one day He will be the Judge of all.

The Pharisees attacked Jesus because He healed a man on the Sabbath. Was He really breaking the law, or just breaking their religious tradition? Jesus brought grace and truth - we need both!
