Life Through The Son




Life Through The Son
Excerpt
The Jewish authorities, already suspicious of Jesus, now find a point at which to attack him. He has healed an invalid on the Sabbath. He has broken God’s law by working on the day of rest.
Jesus tackles them head on. He says that he is merely sharing his Father’s work, which goes on every day. This enrages his accusers, because what he says seems blasphemous. He is implying that he is God’s Son.
For the first time, Jesus explains that he is doing his Father’s will. These healings are just the beginning of a life-giving work which will continue until all who believe are raised to eternal life. More

Sledges were fitted with flint teeth to dehusk the grain more quickly. Other workers would turn the grain over so that it would be evenly threshed by the sledge.
