Did Jesus Christ perform “works”?

Yes, Christ did perform works.

Flawless ones. The works of the Father.

Ours are not flawless. They are tainted by sin.
At the very least, our motivation for doing works can come into question.

And then whether they are actually the works God wants us to do as opposed to the works that we THINK God wants us to do.

And then if they are done in pride, that would taint them as well.

All our righteousness is as filthy rags in the sight of God, so if that’s what you want to offer up to God as good works worthy to get into heaven, good luck with that.
