After healing the lame man on the Sabbath, Jesus is hatefully attacked (John 5:5-16).
As he loosens the tightness of the Sabbath, he affirms that he is the Son of God (John 5:17-18).
He then points to the divine pattern of life (John 5:19-23) and affirms that the believer's Day of Judgment has come and gone (John 5:24).
He shows the similarities and differences between his work of raising the dead and that of the Father's.
Jesus' work of raising the dead is both future and here and now: "AND NOW IS" ((John 5:25). The Father's work of raising the dead is only future; the words "AND NOW IS" are missing (John 5:28).
The resurrection Jesus performs is not universal, but only for those who hear his voice (John 5:21, 25).
The Father raises everyone: "ALL THAT ARE IN THE GRAVES" (John 5:28). This includes both the saved and the lost (John 5:29).
How wonderful to know your Day of Judgment has come and gone on the Cross! (John 5:24)
How dreadful to stand before a sovereign God for a resurrection of damnation! (John 5:24)
