Affirmation Train You Can Change Any Situations With Words
THE DEITY OF CHRIST BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God (John 5:18).
Until you discover who Jesus really is, you canβt walk with Him. Jesus is Adonai; Heβs the Lord God! The very thought of this blows the mind. No wonder the Jews had difficulty accepting Him. They accused Him of making Himself equal with God because He said God was His Father.
They knew that when someone says, βGod is my Father,β it doesnβt mean God gave birth to that person, because God is a Spirit. They understood what Jesus was saying: He Himself was Jehovah in human manifestation! In John 10:30, He made another staggering declaration that made them angrier. He said, βI and my Father are one.β In other words, βWeβre one and the same; if youβve seen Me, youβve seen the Father.β
Now, the Jews got really crazy and they took up stones again to stone Him. But Jesus interrupted them and asked, β…Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?β They replied, β…For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself Godβ (John 10:32-33).
Notice the two charges brought against Jesus. The first one was blasphemy for saying God was His Father. The second was robbery, because being a man, He made Himself God. He was therefore condemned with robbers. But the Bible says in Philippians 2:5-6, βLet this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.β
This verse was a direct response to the Jewish charge against Jesus that He was a thief for declaring Himself to be equal with God. Jesus didnβt think He was robbing God by being equal with God, because He was in the form of God. The Greek word for βformβ is βmorphe,β which means βnature.β In other words, He was in the very nature or essence of God. Though He looked like a man, He was in the form of God. In essence, Jesus is God! This is one of the cleverest communications in the New Testament about the deity of Jesus Christ. His claim to deity is right.
