John 5:17 NKJV
But Jesus answered them, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working.
John 5:17 NKJV
Jesus talked about honouring His Father, Jesus displayed honour to His Father by working the Father's work. So whatever the Father works, Jesus carried that out in this world.
The healing of the sick, raising the dead and preaching the message of salvation is all what the Father is. Therefore, Jesus worked it out.
Just as Jesus honoured His Father by working out the Father's work, we too are called to honour Jesus as we work out the works of Jesus.
On the contrary, the belivers are praying that Jesus would do the work, praying and asking Christ to save the souls and heal the sick and deliver people from oppression.
What God has asked us to do through Christ as a church has been prayed back to Jesus to do it. They believe so strong that God is going to do it.
Jesus displayed what it means to see the work of God established by stepping out and doing it as He has done it. That is truly honouring Jesus.
We get set into religion when we start asking God to do when God has clearly told us to do it.
We are to preach the gospel of the kingdom, we are to heal the sick, cast out the devils and raise the dead in His mighty Name.
Jesus did what He saw the Father did so must we do what Jesus has done. This is who we are, imitators of God as His dear Children.
Let us all rise up to do what He has done and honour Him as our Lord and Saviour.
Live in the blessings,
Ps Ambrose
