  1. Thanks for joining me today for “A Little Walk with God.” I’m your host Richard Agee.
  2. We are amazed at all the things Jesus did during the few years He walked the earth in the flesh. But He said some incredible things about what will happen next. Listen to His words to His disciples and us.
  3. Scripture
    1. John 5:19-21
    2. Jesus:  The truth is that the Son does nothing on His own; all these actions are led by the Father. The Son watches the Father closely and then mimics the work of the Father.  The Father loves the Son, so He does not hide His actions. Instead, He shows Him everything, and the things not yet revealed by the Father will dumbfound you.  The Father can give life to those who are dead; in the same way, the Son can give the gift of life to those He chooses.
