Jesus is God:He Said He Is Lord Of The Sabbath & He Will Raise HIMSELF From The Dead
(1) In Zechariah 12:10, the LORD(I AM) God prophesied that :"They will look on Me, the one they have pierced..."
This absolutely proves without a doubt that the one who speaks these words is the preincarnate Jesus; and so of course he is the Almighty LORD.
If there was no other verse in the Bible declaring that Jesus is the great God I AM, this verse would be enough- but there are over a 100 more.
(This verse is so utterly destructive to the Jehovah's Witness's belief that Jesus is merely a created being that they changed it the 2013 revision of their NWT Bible from what it was in their older version.)
{Many of my fellow CC brothers/sisters have most wonderfully and constantly defended Christ's deity already, however there shouldn't be any limit in praising Jesus as our God.
}
(2) Jesus said in Matthew 12:8:"The Son of Man is the Lord of the Sabbath." No one but the Creator of the universe can claim to be the Lord of the Holy Sabbath.
Please read Genesis 1 and 2(for those doubters ) and it will be clear that Jesus 100% certainly is declaring that He is the God who created the heavens and the earth.
(3) John 2:19,21-"Jesus answered them,'Destroy this temple and I will raise it up in three days. ... But the temple he had spoken of was his body."
Jesus raised himself from the dead because he was and is God. Only God can do the impossible such as raise himself from the grave.
(4) Mark 6:50 "For they all saw him(walking on water) and were agitated. But he immediately spoke with them and said,"Take heart. It is I AM."(AMPC Bible; see also Young's literal Translation Bible)
Some scholars, such as Robert Bowman and Farrar, (and some Bible versions and the Coffmans Commentary) translate Mark 6:50 as Jesus saying "I AM" which is a good translation when you look at both the actual Greek and the context.
Author Graham Twelftree in his book:"Jesus the Miracle Worker" says that to understand Mark 6:50 we have to know Job 9:8: "He (God) alone ... treads on the waves of the sea."
Jesus by walking on water was showing the apostles, and us, that only God can walk on water according to the book of Job and affirms this by declaring that "It is I AM."
So Mark 6:48-50 deeply reveals that Jesus is the God I AM of Exodus 3:14 and Job 9:8.
(5) (There are many other verses where Jesus declares he is God and many have been covered by other CC Christians.)
Now I will quote Apostle Paul in Colossians 2:9-"For in him dwells all the fullness of the Deity bodily.(KingJames2000 Bible) The Holy Spirit cannot be any clearer about the truth that Jesus of Nazareth is God.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please see Genesis 19:24 where it can be plainly seen that 2 of the 3 persons of the triune God I AM are mentioned in one verse. God the Father(LORD) causes God the Son(LORD) to rain fire on Sodom and Gomorrah. The Jehovah's Witnesses are so scared of this verse that they changed it in their 2013 NWT Bible from how it was translated in all their previous NWT Bible versions.
Zechariah 2:8-11 also clearly shows the LORD Almighty (the Son) is sent by the Lord Almighty (the Father) against certain countries (verses 8 & 9) and to live on the earth(verses 10 &11).
I hope and pray all those of you who have not seen or accepted that Jesus is God will before it is too late.
Thank you for reading this. There are over a 100 verses in the Bible that prove Jesus is God. Hope you can add one or any other comment.
All praise to Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit forever.
