The Battle For The Church

The Battle For Jesus Deityship

 John 10.30 I and [my] Father are one .  31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him .  32 Jesus answered them , Many good works have I shewed you from my Father ; for which of those works do ye stone me ?  33 The Jews answered him , saying , For a good work we stone thee not ; but for blasphemy ; and because that thou , being a man , makest thyself God .  

 A second battle front faced by the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ is that of the deityship of Jesus. 

 There are many in our day, some of whom call themselves Christian, some who do not associate themselves with our Lord, who would say things like: 

 

Was Jesus God?  The Bible clearly testifies that Jesus was:  Not only close to God.  Not only mindful of God.  But Jesus was Almighty- God.  The clearest indication of this is found in 1 John 5.7 in the King James Bible.   

The fact that Jesus:  Did miracles that could only be attributed to God, and many of them (John 21.24-25).  Evidenced characteristics that could only be attributed to God (John 1.48 - omniscience).  Physically rose from a cold dead tomb (Luke 24.36-39).  These all lend themselves to the fact that Jesus was and is Almighty-God. 

The passage we have as our current text reveals that Jesus Himself claimed, without a doubt, to be God.  These Jews understood exactly what Jesus said.   They took up stones to kill Jesus not because Hew claimed to think like God or to be stiritually gifted, but because He calimed to be God. 

Let the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ be absolutely convinced and certain that Jesus is Almighty-God.   He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords (Rev 19.16).  He is the divine creator and sustainer of all creation (Col 1.16-17).  He is alive and reigning on high, right now (Heb 10.12-13).  This is our Lord and our Savior.  Praise Him forever more!
