The Road.


John 5:23

23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him. 

Jesus statement became more not acceptable to the ears of Jewish leaders this time. Notice, He said "all may honor the Son". Not some. Therefore each and everyone must give honor to Him. 

John in his little book in First John make it more dangerous. He used the word "deny" which has the same verb meaning with disagree, renounce, decline even refuse or reject. 

1 John 2:23
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. (KJV).

But you see, how God gives us the chance? Both Jesus and John didn't stop there. They still gives options that those who honors and acknowledges the Son does the same to the Father. There is no bypass at all. Must go through Jesus always. 

Let's back up a little of what John has said "whoever denies the Son". See, even before during Jesus time on earth. There were people or religious group had already denied Him. In this generation, you can still see out there who are these people or religious as they call it that cannot accept that Jesus is God. 

These people does not have the idea how dangerous of rejecting Jesus as their Lord and Savior. The bible was so clear " those who denies Him, denies the Father also" meaning we must go through Jesus always. There is no shortcut or bypass. Jesus is the only road to the Father. (John 14:6).

The Son of Man

John 5: 27   And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.   Here we see Jesus relationship with the Father. How intimate it is that the Father gave him the authority to judge.  But what does "Son of Man" mean? This does not mean that Jesus was son of Joseph the husband of Mary who conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Let's read the book of   Daniel 7: 13-14  to help us understand why Jesus has this title being the "Son of Man". 13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. Jesus was obviously fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel when he said in...
