Did He Say That?



Jesus Christ is God. He is the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent deity. He took no effort to conceal this truth during His human incarnation. Colossians 1:15 asserts Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation. Philippians 2:6 says He was in the very nature of God. In certain religious circles it is claimed that He Himself never made such a claim.  While they greatly reverence Jesus as a mighty messenger of God and the greatest of all the  prophets, attributing divine qualities to Him is blasphemous.

I found about 120 occasions in the gospels where He had referred to His divinity—directly and indirectly. Out of them I picked out 60 of His statements (made in the first person) and published them below.

If Jesus Christ were not God, He must be hopelessly insane or the most accomplished liar in world history. Or the Gospel is a lie. Decide for yourselves:

Luke 9:23,24,26  ……….anyone wants to come with me, he must deny himself, pick up his cross every day, and follow me continually.  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. ….

Spiritual Blessings

Image
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ (Ephesians 1:3) God the Father has blessed all those who are Christians. What does it mean to be blessed by God? It means that one has been favoured by God to receive a good of some kind. Our God is a gracious God who blesses His people with various things. In the beginning, for example, God blessed Adam and Eve so that they would be fruitful and would increase in number ( Genesis 1:28). What specific blessings, however, does the Apostle Paul have in mind in our verse? He says we have been blessed with every "spiritual blessing." What does this mean? It refers to the gift of the Holy Spirit , every specific gift of the Spirit, and every fruit of the Spirit we have been given. We receive these spiritual blessings because of God's divine decree to choose us "before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless ...

WAITING ON THE LORD

Image
 WAITING  ON THE LORD  Waiting on the Lord may be one of the most difficult aspects of the Christian life. The concept of "waiting" in Christian life is found various forms in the Bible -- to wait up on, to wait on, to wait at, to wait for, to wait patiently, await etc.   The most important and frequent use of the word is to define the attitude of a soul towards God. The waiting implies, of course, the expectant attitude of faith, a listening ear, a heart responding to the calling of God. It describes an eager anticipation and yearning for the revelation of truth and love as it is in God. Waiting on God reminds us that God is in control of our lives.  We come accross the expression frequently in the Old Testament: Psalms 69:3 I am exhausted from crying for help ... waiting for my God to help me. Psalms 33:20 Our soul has waited for the Lord;  Psalms 27:4 Wait for the LORD; be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the LORD!  The idea of...

MIRACLES OF JESUS

Image
Wikipedia describes a miracle as an event not ascribable to human power or the  laws of nature  and consequently attributed to a supernatural, especially  divine , agency. We believe God regularly works through created nature yet is free to work without, above, or against it as well. A total of about 35 of miraculous events are described by the four gospels as being brought about by our Lord during His ministry on earth. It is safe to assume He did many more. See John 21:25. Our purpose here is to analyze what were His motives in performing the miracles, what He achieved through them and why should we study them.                                                         ...
