162) Jesus Given Authority to Give Eternal Life

About this episode

The episode discusses the authority given to Jesus to grant eternal life and the implications of this belief.

John’s Gospel declares that the Man Jesus has authority to giveeternal life to others. It is not the God Jesus, and it is not the God-Man Jesuswho has power and authority to raise the dead. See how exalted man is in theeyes of God? God gave such authority toa human being. To deny that God has given this authority and power to a humanbeing and instead claim the power is in the hands of a god-man, is to dishonor boththe God who gave the authority and the exalted human being Jesus who has theauthority.
