Day 1 | UP: Passionate Spirituality

READ

John 5:19-20 ESV

The Authority of the Son

19 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. 20 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.

In this passage, we see Jesus teaching the disciples to model Him in His connection to the Father.
