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 is doing. And greater works than these will he show him, so that iyou may marvel.
John 5:19-20 ESV
The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand
John 3:35
For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life that I may take it up again. John 10:17
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.
John 14:12
Sometimes, we forget the destiny we have been created for. From the very beginning, the garden scene shows us the very heart and intent of our Father; dominion and fruitful increase through union with Him. Jesus chose 12 men, that they might be with Him, then sent from Him to carry on the work He had been given. Our place of doing begins with being, being one with the Father as His child, son or daughter, and walking with Him.
Because of our love for him, we understand, just like Jesus, a body was prepared for us (his workmanship - Ephesians 2:10) to freely yield and present to Him in service. It in in this space that we begin this divine working out of being filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding.
Pauls prayer from Ephesians chapter one is that we would understand the inheritance the Father has in the Saints. Created by Him, for Him that He might rule and reign through us begins with the knowing that apart from Him we can do nothing. Jesus iterates this to his disciples in John chapter fifteen. And, because we know the love the Father has for us, we know He will show us all things that He is doing. It’s His desire that we be filled with the knowledge of His will with a walk that is worthy of Him, fully pleasing Him, fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of our Father, Colossians 1: 10-11.
We get busy with daily life, school, work, home, marriage, children, friends, even church and can forget that each day we are to be about impacting lives with Jesus. No matter where we are daily, we are surrounded with people that we are designed to impact with the life that only God can give.
Jesus said, John 5:17 the Father is working and He must work, John 9:4, the day comes when there is no further opportunity,
The intimacy that is created in this relationship with the Father that Jesus reveals is to be our daily norm. We were created for this. Not just to know we are the beloved but to abide in His love and live in this relationship where we can do all and nothing more than what we see the Father doing.
