By understanding Jesus’ nature as God and man, we will overcome false teachings about Jesus and trust him more.
What does it mean when we say that Jesus is both God and man?
Is Jesus a man who became God
Is Jesus God indwelling a man?
Is Jesus God appearing to be a man?
Is Jesus a spiritual being ordered by God to become a man?
Is Jesus Fully God and fully man?
The Bible tells us that Jesus is fully God and fully man.
How do we know?
1. Jesus said he is God.
I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: "I am ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God."
That is one thing we must not say.
A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher.
He would either be a lunatic-on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg-or else he would be the Devil of Hell.
You must make your choice.
Either this man was, and is, the Son of God; or else a madman or something worse ....
You can try to shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and call Him a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.
But let us not come up with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher.
He has not left that open to us.
He did not intend to.
CS Lewis
Josh McDowell says he is either “a liar, a lunatic, or the Lord.
2. Others say Jesus is God.
Paul
3. He is worshipped as God.
Many people worshipped him.
a Healed leper worshiped Jesus
Women worshiped Jesus
The mother of James and John
Gerasenes Demoniac worshiped Jesus.
Blind Man worshiped Jesus
Jesus accepted worship from others
His disciples prayed to him
4.
He does what only God can do.
He has the power to forgive sin.
All judgement is in his hands.
He sends His Spirit.
He will raise the dead.
He is the creator.
He is the sustainer - upholding all.
Those are the facts supported by the evidence.
What evidence supports Jesus’ claim to be God?
Obviously, anyone could claim to be God.
The difference is Jesus life backs up his claims.
