🔥 "You Can't Judge Me!" - What Jesus Said That Made Religious Leaders Want to Kill Him | John 5 Deep Dive

🗡️ This expository sermon was delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cookeville, TN on Sunday, August 24, 2025, at 11:00 am. 🗡️

Have you ever wondered why religious leaders wanted to kill Jesus for healing someone? In this powerful sermon from John chapter 5, discover the shocking claim Jesus made that changed everything - He declared Himself equal with God the Father. This isn't just another Bible study; it's an eye-opening exploration of Christ's deity that will transform how you understand the Trinity.

Pastor dives deep into verses 19-24, revealing how Jesus didn't ask permission from the Father but operated in perfect unity with Him. Learn why Jesus had to specifically address individuals like Lazarus and Jairus's daughter when raising them from the dead - and what would have happened if He hadn't! This fascinating teaching explains the "seeth" and "doeth" relationship between Father and Son, showing their eternal, unbroken union.

✨ Discover why honoring Jesus as just a "good teacher" or "prophet" actually dishonors God the Father. This message tackles the challenging questions non-Trinitarians face and resolves the seeming contradiction between Isaiah 42:8 and John 5:23. You'll understand why Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and John Adams missed the mark despite admiring Jesus's teachings.

Most importantly, hear Christ's authoritative promise in verse 24: those who hear His word and believe HAVE everlasting life - not will have, but possess it right now! Learn what it truly means to be "quickened" - made alive so as to never die again spiritually. This isn't about religious rituals or living right to earn salvation; it's about the instant transfer from death to life through faith in Christ.

Whether you're questioning your salvation, struggling to understand the Trinity, or seeking deeper biblical truth, this message will challenge and encourage you. Stop letting the noise of social media, culture, and conflicting voices drown out God's Word.
