Weekly Pursuit – Week 1 of June
Verses:
John 14:10 “The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works.”
Excerpts:
The Lord as the Son of God was the almighty God, yet He declared that He could do nothing from Himself except what He saw the Father doing. This was because when the Lord was on the earth, He did not live by His own person but always took the Father as His person. The Lord Jesus was a wonderful person, yet He did not take Himself as His person; rather, He took the Father as His person. Just as the Lord took the Father as His person, so also we need to take the Lord as our person.
John 14:10 is one of the greatest verses in the Bible. In this verse the Son said, “The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works.” This does not mean that while the Son was speaking on the earth, the Father was doing the work for the Son in the heavens. On the contrary, while the Son was speaking, the Father who did the work was dwelling in the Son, being one with the Son. When the Son spoke, the Father did the work within the Son. The Son was the One speaking, and the Father was the One working in the Son. The Son and the Father were one. Therefore, we may say that the Son was the Father. Following the Son’s pattern, we need to be one with Him so that when we speak, He would do the work within us. (CWWL, 1971, vol. 2, pp. 215-216)
