From Death to Life

So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all that he himself is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that you may marvel. For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whom he will.  (John 5:19-21)  

In Ezekiel, God asks Ezekiel if he could make a big valley of dry bones come back to life.  Ezekiel reply's that you alone Lord know.  So In John 5 we see that the Father loves the Son and the son all that the father is doing.  


The primary work that the father is doing is to raise dead people to life!  When I was seeking my own way, and rebellious towards God, His word, and His way, I was slowly destroying my life, and life was meaningless.  But when I started to walk with Jesus, seeking God's Face, and pursuing a relationship to the Father, I found real meaning and peace in life.  My skeleton of a life was filled out with living flesh and my old sinful lifestyle was raised new where I find I have power through submission to God, to obey what God has called us to.  Not only will we find meaning hear on earth, we have a promise and a hope that one day Jesus will rescue us from even the presence of sin, and enjoy face to face relationships with He and the father.  


It is true that to know God is to Find life, and life abundantly....
