The Son Does

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. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. 21 For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will. 22 For the Father judges no one, but has given all judgment to the Son, 23 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.

The Son Does

The Son is not some independent and rogue person of the Holy Trinity. The Son does what the Father tells him to do. The Father loves the Son and the Father loves you. He sends the Son in order that you would have life. You cannot have the Father without the Son. The world will try to convince you that Christianity is just one of many routes to heaven. Jesus disagrees. He is the only Way, he is the enduring and eternal Truth, and he is your eternal Life. Greater signs are indeed seen. Christ has mastery over even death and grants that life to you in your Baptism. Your salvation is his work. Jesus honors his Father by transferring you from slavery to sin to freedom as Sons and Daughters of the most high God. Rejoice with the Lord in his great work to save you.
