Connect John 5:20 with another scripture showing God's love for Jesus. Seeing the Father’s Heart toward the Son “For the Father loves the Son and shows Him all He does. And to your amazement He will show Him even greater works than these.” A Companion Witness: John 3:35 “The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in His hands.” Key Connections • Same verb, same certainty: “loves” (agapáō) appears in both verses, underscoring an unchanging, active affection. • Love expressed through revelation: In John 5:20 the Father “shows” His works; in John 3:35 He entrusts “all things” to the Son. Love is more than sentiment—it is demonstrated by sharing authority and purpose. • Progressive disclosure: John 5:20 promises “greater works,” mirroring the comprehensive handing over of “all things” in John 3:35. The Father’s love is expansive and ongoing. • Unity of mission: Both passages highlight perfect agreement between Father and Son, revealing a divine partnership that secures redemption (cf. John 17:24). Truths to Embrace • The Father’s love for Jesus is literal, personal, and eternal. • Every miracle, teaching, and redemptive act flows from this love. • Because “all things” rest in the Son’s hands, believers rest secure in His finished work (Colossians 1:13–17; Hebrews 1:3). • The same steadfast love that unites Father and Son now reaches us through Christ (Romans 8:32). |
