As The Son Jesus Works Totally in Accord with the Father's Will (John 5:30).
Jesus now emphasises that He works and judges totally in line with His Father. He does nothing on the basis simply of His own will. He aligns His will with the will of the Father.
“I can of myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge, and my judgment is righteous because I do not seek my own will but the will of him who sent me”.
Having asserted the supreme authority and power He has received from the Father, Jesus now assured His hearers that this did not mean that He was acting on His own. While all judgment has been committed to Him He does not seek His own will, for He and the Father work in unison, and indeed anything else is not possible. By His very nature He cannot act on His own. The unity of the Godhead is too close. There is, as it were, a divine exchange, and as He judges He is always aware of what the Father says and has in mind the Father's will. Thus His judgment is just because it is the judgment of God.
