The Deity and Greatness of Jesus
Jesus: Lord of lords
Jesus Christ: Updated Revelation Newborn in a manger Dead man on a cross Important aspects, but we must see Jesus as He is: The dead man is now the risen Lord and Christ
Jesus Christ: Updated Revelation Jesus as He is (Revelation 1: 9 -20) Jesus is Worthy of Worship (Revelation 5: 11 -14)
The Challenges We Face Ressurgence of Gnosticism Attraction of Conspiracy Theories The Desire to Present a Sanitized, Politically Correct Jesus Subtle influences of Hollywood Selfish desires to be free of Jesus´ rule
Jesus, being God, is the Only Savior Acts 4: 12 – Jesus is the only Savior How would that sound to the Jews? Isaiah 43: 10 -12 Contrast between God and gods, not between Father and Son
Jesus, being God, is the Correct Object of Faith Exclusive faith in God (Isaiah 43: 10) Jesus understood this (Mark 11: 22) NT writers understood this (Hebrews 6: 1; 11: 6) Jesus taught the importance of faith in Him (Matthew 9: 28; John 3: 14, 15, 18; 11: 25 -26) Belief in Jesus is necessary for salvation (Acts 10: 43; 16: 31; Romans 10: 11 – cf. Isaiah 28: 16) Belief in Jesus is belief in the Father (John 12: 44; 14: 1)
Jesus Christ: Worthy of Worship Creatures are not worthy of worship Good men refuse worship (Acts 10: 2526; 14: 15) Good men refuse to worship creatures (Daniel 3: 12) Faithful angels refuse worship (Revelation 19: 10; 22: 8 -9)
Jesus Christ: Worthy of Worship Jesus accepts worship (Matthew 8: 2 -3 and other examples) God orders that He be worshiped (Hebrews 1: 6) The same honor for Father and Son (John 5: 23)
Jesus Christ: Worthy of Worship Comparison of doxologies (from Greek doxa – glory) God (YHWH) – 1 Chronicles 29: 10 -11 Jesus – Revelation 5: 12 -14 The language of worship is applied to Jesus
Jesus Christ: Worthy of Worship A common misunderstanding Matthew 4: 10 (Deuteronomy 6: 13 -14) Contrast between God and gods, not between Father and Son Jesus is God, and is worthy of worship!
Jesus is Honored as God Some words peculiar to worship Others occasionally used of honor to men But no man is given all these honors in so many statements of lavish praise
Jesus is Honored as God Fear (Proverbs 9: 10) Fear God (OT) and Jesus (NT) Isaiah 8: 12 -13 > 1 Peter 3: 14 -16 Deuteronomy 10: 17, 18, 20 > 2 Corinthians 5: 9 -11
Jesus is Honored as God Fear Service and worship go together Matthew 4: 10 from Deuteronomy 6: 13 Daniel 3: 12, 14, 18, 28 Cannot serve image or king But can serve the Son of Man! (Daniel 7: 14)
Jesus is Honored as God 22 4 1 : Fear 0 n 1 e s n l w a t o i e d h i b t t n o Service i t s r a e o r c t C i n v 1 r o r e c e s s d i i d Service and worship h goantogether s t n f Co ght o God li to Deuteronomy 6: 13 Matthewin 4: 10 from e ic v r se Daniel 3: 12, 14, 18, 28 Cannot serve image or king But can serve the Son of Man! (Daniel 7: 14)
Jesus is Honored as God Fear Service and worship go together Son of Man honored in same way as Daniel's God (Daniel 4: 2 -3, 34; 6: 26; then 7: 14)
Jesus is Honored as God Fear Service Love and loyalty For Jesus (John 14: 15, 21; 15: 10) For God (Deuteronomy 11: 1, 13, 22) God/Jesus above Family (Deuteronomy 13: 6 -8; Matthew 10: 37; cf. Luke 14: 26) Undying/sincere love (Ephesians 6: 24)
Jesus is Honored as God Fear Service Love and loyalty
Jesus is Honored as God Prayer to idols is ridiculous (Isaiah 44: 17; 45: 20) Prayer appeals to God capable of saving (Isaiah 45: 22) No Biblical prayers to angels; they are sent out by God as He answers prayer (Hebrews 1: 14)
Jesus is Honored as God Prayers to Jesus Revelation 22: 20 Acts 7: 59 Compare to Luke 23: 46 Consider Ecclesiastes 12: 7
Jesus is Honored as God Prayer Singing Ephesians 5: 19 – Lord Compare to Colossians 3: 16 – God (in many versions) Revelation 5: 9 -10
Jesus is Lord of lords! The object of our faith The only Savior The object of love and loyalty One who deserves and receives the worship of those He created
Jesus is Honored as God “. . . that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” (John 5: 23)
