Reflect the Son
Jesus had power and authority because he lived in constant communion with his heavenly father. He reflected his father’s image by abiding in him. Jn 5:19: “Jesus explained, ‘I tell you the truth, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does.’” Just as Jesus reflected the Father by abiding in him, so we too will reflect Jesus by being united with him and letting his life live through us. “I no longer live. Christ lives in me.” Gal 2:20
