Scripture Reading
\n<\/strong><\/span>JOHN 5: \u201cMost assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25\u00a0<\/sup>Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26\u00a0<\/sup>For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27\u00a0<\/sup>and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28\u00a0<\/sup>Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29\u00a0<\/sup>and come forth\u2014those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30\u00a0<\/sup>I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. 31\u00a0<\/sup>\u201cIf I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true. 32\u00a0<\/sup>There is another who bears witness of Me, and I know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true. 33\u00a0<\/sup>You have sent to John, and he has borne witness to the truth. 34\u00a0<\/sup>Yet I do not receive testimony from man, but I say these things that you may be saved. 35\u00a0<\/sup>He was the burning and shining lamp, and you were willing for a time to rejoice in his light. 36\u00a0<\/sup>But I have a greater witness than John\u2019s; for the works which the Father has given Me to finish\u2014the very works that I do\u2014bear witness of Me, that the Father has sent Me.<\/p>\n
