The work of the Spirit in the Christian is evident. We are called to be available for the way that God desires to include us in his work and alert to look and listen for evidence of God at work. In this episode of the Radical Podcast on John 5:16–29, Pastor David Platt teaches us to be aware that God is already at work around us.
- Jesus knew that God the Father was working.
- Jesus knew that apart from the Father, he could do nothing.
- Jesus looked and listened to know where and how the Father was working.
- Jesus joined the Father wherever and however he was working.
- Jesus knew that the Father involved him in his work because the Father loved him.
- Jesus knew that the Father’s work in him had eternal
ramifications.
