Sailer speaks on Jesus’ claim of divinity as the Son of God in John 5:19-30. The Jewish crowd opposed Jesus because He claimed equality and unity with the Father. From the passage, we learn that Jesus' equality is expressed in roles such as giving life and exercising judgment: granted to Him through the love of the love of the Father. While the Father and the Son hold distinct roles, they work in perfect harmony: the Father shows and sends, while the Son sees, obeys, and judges. Jesus’ sonship is not that of an angel, a servant of Yahweh, or even merely the Messiah; He is the Son in the most intimate sense, revealing God as Trinity. For believers, this passage answers the deepest questions: what God is like, and how the fear of death is overcome. The Son, who lives in loving obedience to the Father, holds the keys to life and death, and it is to Him that believers turn to for life.
