Day 2: John 5:16-30
Stories: The Work of the Father
Curiosities:
1) Why did they want to kill Jesus for claiming to be equal with God?
2) Why doesn’t Jesus do what He wants? Why does He only do what He sees the Father doing? Isn’t He God too?
3) Jesus quotes Daniel 12:2 about some being resurrected to eternal life and some to shame
Paradoxes: “the Father judges no one, but entrusts all judgment to the Son.” Why does Jesus say He is the one who judges? Later He will say that He doesn’t judge, but the Father does, and then again later He will say that He is the one who judges? Why is Jesus so paradoxical about judgment in John?
