Under Gods Command (Jesus Claims to be the Son of God)

John 5:22-24 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

Jesus was identifying himself with God, his Father. There could be no doubt as to his claim to be God. Jesus does not leave us the option to believe in God while ignoring God’s Son. The Pharisees also called God their Father, but they realized Jesus was claiming a unique relationship with him. In response to Jesus claim, the Pharisees had two choices: to believe him, or to accuse him of blasphemy. They chose the second.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; (6) in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight.
