John 5:30-35

John 5:30-35 
English Standard Version (ESV)

  If the Savior of the world says he can't do anything on his own, maybe it's time you stopped trying to do everything on your own!
  Everything Jesus did was in line with the will of God.  The Trinity is challenging to wrap our minds around, but it is an interdependent loving relationship, constantly serving and being served.  No one member acts independently.
  Jesus Christ comes to us and invites us into the eternal kingdom.  He invites us to journey with him, to share our burdens, to allow his strength to be our strength and to discover that we are made perfect through our weakness.  Only when we acknowledge that we cannot save ourselves do we discover the wondrous generosity of God.  Only when we realize that the sheer total of all the human wisdom falls short of God's wisdom do we begin to understand how the crucifixion and resurrection is the path into life.  Only when we're willing to fall into grace do we learn how to trust God and live dependent on the Holy Spirit.
  Jesus does all this so that we might be saved.  God's will is that we be gathered in, like sheep to the shepherd, like chicks to the hen, so that we might be surrounded by the fullness of love.
