"For undo us a Child is born,
Unto to us a Son is given..." Isaiah 9:6

Last week we looked at Scripture that tells us of Jesus' humanity, the incarnate Son of God, who is fully God. Let us now turn to some verses in Scripture that speak of His deity. These are only a very few, I leave it to you for a deeper study of Christ Jesus our Lord God.

Christ's pre-existence:
"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,
Though you are little among the thousands of Judah, Yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth have been from old, from everlasting." Micah 5:2

John 8:58,
"Jesus said to them, 'Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.'"

John 17:5,
"And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was."

Revelation 22:13,
"I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last."

Christ's deity acknowledged:
By Peter, Matthew 16:15-16:
"He (Jesus) said to them, 'But who do you say that I am?' And Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.'"

By Demons (Mark 5:7):
"And he cried out with a loud voice and said, 'What have I to do with You, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God that You do not torment me." (Read the whole scenario Vs. 1-20)

By the centurion at the crucifixion, Mark 5:39:
"Now when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, 'Truly this Man was the Son of God.'"

By Martha, John 11: 27:
"She said to Him, 'Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."

Christ Himself acknowledged that He is God to Thomas after His resurrection in John 20:28-29, "And Thomas answered and said to Him, 'My Lord and my God!' Jesus said to him, 'Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Christ's attributes:
All-powerful -- Omnipotent:
"Then Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 'All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.'" Matthew 28:18 All-knowing -- Omniscient:
"In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge." Colossians
2:3 (Read Vs. 1-3)
Ever-present -- Omnipresent:
"For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." Matthew 18:20  (Also see Matthews 28:20)
Eternal:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God." John 1:1-2 "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory the glory as of the only begotten of the Father..." Vs. 14

I encourage your personal study of the character of Christ. He is:
Holy, Luke 1:35
Righteous, Isaiah 53:11
Just, Zechariah 9:9
Guileless, 1 Peter 2:22
Sinless, 2 Corinthians 5:21
Spotless, 1 Peter 1:19
Merciful, Hebrews 2:17
Faithful, Hebrews 2:17
Forgiving, Luke 23:24

Our Lord and Savior is truly God and Man! In the councils of eternity past our mighty God planned and put into motion all that is needed to rescue fallen mankind. It takes the Triune God to redeem and reconcile even one sinner! What Love! Christmas and Easter are expressions of His great love for mankind. As His children we are to be His love to the world as Christ now lives His life in us by the Holy Spirit. Thank You LORD for your perfect plan for each of us! Amen
