Christ’s Divinity
- Isaiah 9:
- 6 For unto us a
child is born, unto usa son is given:and the government shall
be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called
Wonderful, Counsellor, the mighty God,the everlasting
Father, The Prince of Peace.
- NOTE:
- One of the names of the child
that was born is “mighty God.”
- Psalms 90:
- 2 Before the
mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and
the world,even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art
God.
- NOTE:
- Christ is the One that formed
the earth and here is referred to as “God.” (see Chapter 3 for
proof that Christ is the creator)
- Matthew 1:
- 20 But while he thought
on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a
dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee
Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in heris of the Holy
Ghost.
- 21 And she shall bring
forth a son,and thou shalt call his name JESUS:for he shall
save his people from their sins.
- 22 Now all
this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord
by the prophet, saying,
- 23 Behold, a
virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall
call his nameEmmanuel,which being interpreted is,God with
us.
- John 1:
- 1 IN the beginning
was the word, and the Word was with God,and the Word was
God.
- 2 The same was in the
beginning with God.
- 3 All things
were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was
made.
- 4 In him was life;and
the life was the light of men.
- 14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,(and we
beheld his glory,the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth.
- 15 John
bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was heof whom I
spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before
me.
- NOTE:
- We know that this Word which
“was God” is Christ because Verse 14 states that the Word was
made flesh.
- John 17:
- 5 And now, O Father,
glorify thou mewith thine own self with the glory which I had
with thee before the world was.
- NOTE:
- Christ had His own Glory.
- Philippians 2:
- 5 Let this mind
be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
- 6 Who, being in the form of
God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
- 11 And that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God the Father.
- NOTE:
- Christ thought of Himself as
equal with God the Father.
- Colossians 1:
- 13 Who hath
delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
kingdom of his dear Son:
- 14 In whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
- 15 Who is the image of the
invisible God,the firstborn of every creature:
- 17 And he is before all things, and
by him all things consist.
- NOTE:
- Christ is God’s Son and
is in His image. Only Christ as a God can forgive us our sins.
- One must keep in mind that the term
“God’s Son” is a human metaphor, but cannot be pressed so
far as to suggest there was a time when the Son, as with humans, did not
exist.
- Colossians 2:
- 9 Forin him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
- Hebrews 1:
- 6 And again, when he
bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world,he saith, And
let all the angels of God worship him.
- 8 But untothe Sonhe
saith,Thy throne, O God,is for ever and ever: a sceptre of
righteousness isthe sceptre of thy kingdom.
- 9 Thou hast loved righteousness,
and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with
the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
- NOTE:
- God the Father calls His Son,
“God.” No wonder the angels worship Him.
- Think about this for a moment: God left
His throne; where He was equal with God the Father and God the Holy
Spirit; where He was worshiped by the angels; where everything was
perfect and beautiful; where there is no sin, sorrow, disease, pain,
suffering, or hate; and came down here to become one of us so we could
go up there to live with Him forever. Oh what love!!
Amen?
