“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 KJV)
The Lord Jesus Christ, continues to address the religious priests who are bent on persecuting Him due to fear of losing their stranglehold on the people they took advantage of. Aligning to their line of human thinking, He said to them that His own testimony about Him is sufficient. If only on account of what He said, it is of no value. But, what He says of Him are affirmed by the signs He performed that are of heaven and were prophesied. He reminded them and many unbelieving people of this age, that He Himself does none of His own will. The healing miracles He did are manifestations of heavenly power for all to see and believe, for He only carry out the order of the Father who sent Him.
What He does is what He hears from the Father. His judgement is righteous because He does it by the Father's mandate. When the Lord healed people from their illness on a sabbath day which the law declared holy, He, who follows the Father's will, demonstrated that grace is superior than the law. Grace supplies the demands of the law that no man other than Him can fulfill. It is the will of the Father for us to rest in His grace by faith in Christ Jesus.
Apostle Paul reminds: “Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.” (Romans 6:12-14 ESV)
And I say, AMEN!
