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

As we continue looking at verses in Scripture that reveal the marks of Jesus
Christ's divinity, we see there is the mark of--

*His Lordship:
"And He said to them, 'The Son of Man is also Lord of the Sabbath.'" Luke
6:5 (Read verses 1-4 for the circumstances that brought forth this truth.)

"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has made this
Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ." Acts 2:36

"Yet for us there is only one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and
we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and
through whom we live." 1 Corinthians 8:6

"Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God
calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the
Holy Spirit." 1 Corinthians 12:5

*His Pre-eminence:
"He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthy and
speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all." John 3:31

"For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord.
Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lords.
For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord
of both the living and the dead." Romans 14:8-9

"And He is he head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence."
Colossians 1:18

"...When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and
riddance of guilt, He sat down at the right hand of the divine Majesty on
high, [Taking a place and rank by which] He Himself became as much superior
to angels as the glorious Name (title) which He has inherited is different
from and more excellent than theirs. Hebrews 1:3-4 The Amplified Bible
(My NIV Bible entitles Hebrews Chapter l, The Son Superior to Angels,
My NKJV Bible Vs. 4-14 is entitled Christ is Superior Because He Is Deity.
Angels are created beings; Jesus Christ is our Lord God!)

Hebrews 3:3 speaks of Christ being superior to Moses. (Remember how
important Moses was to the Hebrews.)
"For this One has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as
He who built the house has more honor than the house." (Read Vs. 1-6 for a
better understanding of what is being said here.)

Revelation 1:11, Jesus speaking to the Apostle John,
"...'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,' and 'What you
see write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia,.."

Read the messages to the seven churches, Revelation 2:1-3:22. For it applies
to the Church today. In each of the church messages He tells of what will be
for 'he who overcomes'. And in each message to each church He ends with,
'he who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches'. We
who are the church need to take heed.

*His Dominion is:
Eternal as we see in Isaiah 9:6-7,
"For unto us a child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name well be called Wonderful, counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace,
Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end.
From this time forward, even forever."

Universal, Zechariah 9:10,
"...and His dominion shall be from sea even to sea, and from the river even
to the ends of the earth."

Over nature:
"And the men marveled, saying, 'Who can this be, that even the winds and
the sea obey Him?'" Matthew 8:27

Over the Church:
"And He (God) put all things under His (Jesus) feet, and gave Him to be
head over all things to the church which is His body, the fullness of Him
who fills all in all." Ephesians 1:22

Over heavenly powers, 1 Peter 3:21-22:
Jesus Christ, "who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God,
angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him."

Thank You Father for Christ Jesus for You have given us all things in Him!
Outside of Christ we are and have nothing. Oh, that all world come into that
saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior. To this end Father we bring those
You have put into our lives before Your throne of grace. Father draw them
unto Yourself. Amen
