Jesus does what he sees the Father is doing

John 5:19–21 (NJB): To this Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, by himself the Son can do nothing; he can do only what he sees the Father doing: and whatever the Father does the Son does too. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he himself does, and he will show him even greater things than these, works that will astonish you. 21 Thus, as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son gives life to anyone he chooses; 

Here Jesus says, he cannot do anything of his own, but he do what he sees the Father is doing. Father raises the dead and Son also do the same. So here Jesus humble himself and give glory to God by his testimony. St. Paul says in his letters Philippians 2:6–9 (NJB): Who, being in the form of God, did not count equality with God something to be grasped. 7 But he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, becoming as human beings are; and being in every way like a human being, 8 he was humbler yet, even to accepting death, death on a cross. This is the nature of Jesus and this way glorify God the Father and accomplished his mission.

PART XXVI

Lord, open our inner eyes to see You personally

  As per Br. Brillis instructions I stayed some months in CG House while I was working in Jabal Ali(Dubai) when working in CCC a Multinational Company. After joining with Bothers(Comunity of Grace)I never went for any spiritual retreat other than from Brothers. I do not know how to thank our Brothers for their effort to make me grow in this grace. There is nothing else in this world to give them, except my soul. Still I am not fulfilled for their expectations about me. St. Paul says, in a great sorrow about the obedience to the spiritual fathers. ‘Obey your leaders and give way to them; they watch over your souls because they must give an account of them; make this a joy for them to do, and not a grief—you yourselves would be the losers.’(Heb.13: 17-18) If we don’t try to know these things, how important it is? We will be the losers, if we don’t obey them, and we will never experience the will of God to fulfil our thirst in Jesus. At last God has opened my inner eyes to see Him personally. We should always pray to God for our inner eyes to be opened constantly. If we cannot see Jesus or experience him, which means there is something displeasing Him in us. We should find it by the help of Holy Spirit, and only He can open our inner eyes to see Jesus personally.

  Why God is giving us the knowledge of Truth, to give us the inheritance of eternal life and of the best part of His kingdom. So we have great duty to share and teach others this great knowledge, which we gained from His throne of Grace. To whom we should give this knowledge, only those who are faithful to Jesus and his call. In the letter of St. Paul to Timothy he is giving us the advice through His Spirit: ‘As for you, my dear son, take strength from the grace which is in Christ Jesus. Pass on to reliable people what you have heard from me through many witnesses so that they will be able to teach others. (2Timo. 2:1-2) These are the pearls, which we are receiving from our Brothers, the knowledge and wisdom, which handed over to them by our founder father Br. Victor through our Lord Jesus Christ. So we should be in prudence to share this genuine Truth to any unfaithful or non believers in Christ Jesus.‘Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls in front of pigs, or they may trample them and then turn on you and tear you to pieces.’(Matt. 7:6)
