“And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings (the Sermon on the Mount), that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.”  Matthews 7:28-29

Last week we started looking at verses that showed us special marks of Christ Jesus’ divinity, let’s continue to look at these specials marks.

Jesus’ authority is another mark.  

To His disciples just before He ascended into heaven,
“Then Jesus came and spoke to them saying,  ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.’”  Matthew 28:18

After Jesus cast out a demon:
“Then they were amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, ‘What is this?  What new doctrine (teaching) is this?  For with authority He commands even unclean spirits, and they obey Him.’”  Mark 1:27

“And He (the Father) gave Him (Jesus) authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.”  John 5:27

Jesus’ foreknowledge is another special mark of His divinity.

“‘But there are some of you who do not believe.’  For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who would betray Him.”  John 6:64 

“Now before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come that He should depart from this world…”  John 13:1

“Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forth…”  John 18:4

This last verse shows us again of His foreknowledge as He predicts His own suffering.
“And He began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and the chief priests and the scribes and be killed, and after three days rise again.”  Mark 8:31

“For I say to you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ‘And He was numbered with transgressor’; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment”  Luke 22:37

“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up.”  John 3:14
(You can read concerning Moses lifting up the serpent in Numbers 21:7-9)

With Jesus’ foreknowledge He foretells of  His departure from this earth.

“Then Jesus said to them. ‘I shall be with you a little while longer, then I go to Him who sent Me.”  John 7:33

“Little children, I am with you a little while longer.  You shall seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, I now say to you also, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’”  John 13:33

“You have heard Me say to you, ’I am going away and coming back to you.’  If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, I am going to the Father…” John 14:28
And 14:29,
“…I have told you before it come, that when it does come to pass, you may believe.”

“But now I go away to Him who sent Me…”  John 16:5
(Read the Scriptures in context to get a fuller understand of the Son of Man’s divinity.)

The Son of God came into the world as Son of Man to redeem fallen man; to bring light and truth to a darken world; and to preach the kingdom of God.  The work completed, He prayed His high priestly prayer of John 17.  
In verse 5 He says, 
“And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”

He is Jesus!  He is Lord!  He is God!
All praise to Jesus Christ, the unique Son of God and Son of Man.  He is our Savior God, our eternal life!  He is reigning on high in majestic glory!
Honor and glory are Yours now and forever!  Amen
“Let there be glory and honor and praises,
 Glory and honor to Jesus!
 Glory, honor,
 Glory and honor to Him!”
