John 5:19-23 Then answered Jesus and said to them, Truly, truly, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do… Men will have views very different from what they now have. I. THE MISER will see a life spent in gathering gold with terror. II. THE AMBITIOUS will wonder that he could barter his soul for office. III. THE SENSUALIST will dread to review his luxury and lewdness. IV. THE SOPHIST will argue no more against Divine truth. V. THE IMPENITENT will be amazed at his madness in clinging to his sins. VI. THE MOCKER will jest no more about sacred things, VII. THE PROFANE will howl over the folly that resulted God. (W. H. Van Doren, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. |
