Commentary on John 5:26
'For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself.' God possesses life essentially—not derived from any source but self-existent. Jesus claims the same: life 'in himself.' This is not creaturely life received from another but divine life possessed intrinsically. While 'given' in eternal generation, the Son possesses life as the Father does—absolutely, essentially, independently. He is life's source, not merely its recipient.
