GOD THE FATHER WORKED THROUGH HIS SON JESUS CHRIST
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 [God the Fther]doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will
shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel (John 5:19-20).
I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge:
and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me (John 5:30).
Jesus answered
them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me (John 7:16).
Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up
the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him (John 8:28-29).
Jesus
answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me (John 10:25).
I and
my Father are one [one another, the same] (John 10:30).
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though
ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him (John 10:37-38).
ForI have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak (John
12:49).
Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself:
but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works (John 14:10).
But that the world may know that I love the Father; and
as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence (John 14:31).
For I have given unto them the words which
thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst
send me (John 17:8).
For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he [God the Father] given to the Son to have life in himself;
And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man (John 5:26-27).

Judeo-Christian Bible Study
HE BARE THE SIN OF MANY
Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before
him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty
that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were
our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did
esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities:
the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned
every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened
not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because
he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when
thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall
prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant
justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil
with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of
many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
(Isaiah 53:1-12).
WOE UNTO THEM THAT CALL EVIL GOOD,
AND GOOD EVIL
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light,
and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent
in their own sight! Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink: Which justify the wicked
for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame
consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the
law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel"
(Isaiah 5:20-24).
TO EVERYTHING THERE IS A SEASON
“To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven: A time to
be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time
to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time
to break
down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones,
and
a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to
refrain from embracing; A time to get, and a time to lose; a
time to keep,
and a time to cast away; A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to
keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love,
and a time to hate; a
time of war, and a time of peace”
(Ecclesiastes 3:1-8).
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven,
and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread
to the eater: So shall my word [Hebrew, dabar; the speaking, movement, and operation of the Holy Spirit, not the bible] be that goeth
forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the
thing whereto I sent it”
(Isaiah 55:8-11).
HE IS THE MEDIATOR OF THE
NEW TESTAMENT
"For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an
heifer sprinkling the
unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of
the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit offered
himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator [Greek,mesites, a go between, an internunciator, reconciler, intercessor] of the new testament, that
by means of death, for the redemption
of the transgressions that
were under the first testament, they which are called might
receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For
where a testament
is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator”
(Hebrews 9:13-16).
