Jesus On Trial: Jesus The Defense Attorney

Summary

The sermon explores John 5:17-30, presenting Jesus as His own defense attorney responding to accusations of breaking the Sabbath. Jesus makes three key arguments: He claims equality with God, asserts a uniquely intimate relationship with the Father, and explains that the Father has entrusted Him with the tasks of giving life and executing judgment. The message emphasizes Jesus' divine nature, His mission to fulfill the Father's will, and the necessity of honoring the Son to honor the Father.
