John 5: 17-30
Jesus answered the Jews: "My Father is at work until now, so I am at work." For this reason they tried all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but he also called God his own father, making himself equal to God.
Jesus answered and said to them, "Amen, amen, I say to you, the Son cannot do anything on his own, but only what he sees the Father doing; for what he does, the Son will do also. For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything that he himself does, and he will show him greater works than these, so that you may be amazed. For just as the Father raises the dead and gives life, so also does the Son give life to whomever he wishes. Nor does the Father judge anyone, but he has given all judgment to the Son, so 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. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes in the one who sent me has eternal life and will not come to condemnation, but has passed from death to life. Amen, amen, I say to you, the 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 just as the Father has life in himself, so also he gave to the Son the possession of life in himself. And he gave him power to exercise judgment, because he is the Son of Man. Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation.
"I cannot do anything on my own; I judge as I hear, and my judgment is just, because I do not seek my own will but the will of the one who sent me."
Dawg's Thought:
Today's prayer intention - for those who are going to be entering into the Church this Easter.
I know how to use Google really well.
With that in mind, would you choose having me perform your surgery over a surgeon? I think that it would be a great way to honor the surgeon by choosing him to perform your surgery.
What better way to honor God than to allow Him to be God? What better way to honor Jesus than to live your life according to His judgment versus the judgment of people? What better way to honor Father, Son and Holy Spirit than to embrace humility?
A long time ago in adoration, I was hit with a strong desire to prostrate myself before Our Lord, long before I knew what it meant. If only we could prostrate ourselves before Him daily with our hearts! If only we could prostrate ourselves daily before Him with the choice that we make?
We can by recognize Who He is. You wouldn't ask a graphic designer to perform an operation on your heart. You wouldn't ask a surgeon to fix your car. In complete prayer and trust, ask Jesus how He wants you to live because it is His judgment that you will be before when it is your time.
Seek and you shall find. Take care and God Bless.
