Accept my works if you cannot accept my words

Jesus made two claims in his response to his enemies: He was consecrated by the Father to a special task and he was sent into the world to carry out his Father's mission. Jesus challenged his opponents to accept his works if they could not accept his words. One can argue with words, but deeds are beyond argument. Jesus is the perfect teacher in that he does not base his claims on what he says but on what he does.

Jesus shows us the way to walk the path of holiness. He anoints us with his power to live the gospel with joy.
