Jesus is God


The Word became flesh and dwelt among us

“We beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14). Jesus is God, one person of the Trinity. Even though our Bible does not mention the word Trinity, the Bible clearly teaches God is one God revealed in three Persons; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

In the book of John, Jesus is referred to as “the Word.” He is the essential embodiment of all that God is. Even before time Jesus was with God the Father and God the Holy Ghost; He was a partner with them in all creation. (Colossians 2:9) says, “For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily).

Jesus, throughout the Bible, is revealed as divine. Some of His enemies at the time of His Crucifixion even confessed He was Son of God. In (John 10:30) Jesus revealed His relationship with the Father by speaking; “I and My Father are one.” Even though Jesus was tempted by Satan in the wilderness, He remained sinless. He was as God, and forgave sin, as only God can (Mark 2:7). Jesus performed many miracles; He healed the sick, fed the hungry, cast out demons, and raised the dead.

Jesus was and is like no other, and His being human is a vital part of His special being, fully God and fully man. As He lived here on earth, He felt fatigue, hunger, and thirst. He also felt the emotions of anger, sorrow, grief, and joy. And Jesus experienced death, dying physically. “But [Jesus] made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bondservant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:7-8).

Having lived as one of us, Jesus became our High Priest having all mercy on us to give us comfort, understanding, sympathy and strength through His compassion. “For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted” (Hebrews 2:18).

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...

A Promise is a Promise

When you were a child did your parents ever promise to take you somewhere special for your birthday? Maybe they promised you could stay up late with them the night of your birthday? You never doubted their promises did you? I mean, a promise is a promise. If they told you they were going to do something you just knew it was going to happen! I remember how excited I was when my parents promised me something and they gave it to me!  I’ll never forget how I trusted them. Neither can I forget the promises God has made and kept for me in my lifetime. He has always been faithful to deliver what He has promised to me. Sometimes the evil one tries to convince me God hasn’t delivered though. He tries to convince me God changes His mind. Its times like this that I will to remain strong. I read what God says and declare how great my God is! Just because we don’t see His fulfillment according to our understanding at that particular time does not mean He hasn’t done it or isn’t going to do ...
