In John 5:19, Jesus Christ answers the Jews ready to kill Him,
“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.”
Out of His great love for His Father
He made a choice to relinquish everything and live in a fellowship so intimate He’d
say, “What I SEE the Father do.”
“You say, ‘How did He SEE it?!’
” explains Jordan. “Hebrews 11:1 answers that: ‘Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.’
“He lived in the reality of confidence in His Father to the place
that He SAW it! It’s not unheard of. Hebrews 11 says of Moses, ‘By faith he
forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him
who is invisible.’ How do you see something you can’t see? Faith!
“Jesus Christ as man could have
done anything He wanted to do and never contradicted the will of His Father
because the two were one in essence and being. But Christ says, ‘For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own
will, but the will of him that sent me.’
“In John 8:29, He says, “And he
that sent me is WITH ME: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those
things that please him. Underline that word alone.
You see the Father was always there?"
