Bible Note: Hi Edwin, I'd like to add a note also on John 5:19: Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner. So to increase our love for each other, we should censure ourselves of those words and deeds that the Father would not do. I could not agree more. It is a very difficult thing to do, to be always conscious of what we are saying and doing, before we say or do it, so that we can stop ourselves before becoming unloving. We must pray constantly, for ourselves and each other, that we can do this. Thank you, brother! Love in Christ, Mark |
