Call UsJesus: God’s Perfect Imprint – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional March 10th
(When You Look At Jesus, You See Our Great God)
TO THE BIBLE: Titus 2:13 NIV
“…We wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
LET’S TALK
“Why do you say Jesus is God? I thought He’s the son of God. How do you explain that?” Bill inquired from Pamela.
She replied, “Well, Bill, if you read what Jesus said about Himself in the scriptures, you’ll come to no other conclusion than that He is God in human flesh. Take your time to read John 10:30 and John 14:8-9, and you’ll catch it!”
Indeed, God’s Word is replete with incontrovertible proof that Jesus is Himself God. He’s our great God!
Sadly, there’re Christians who haven’t come to this realization. That’s why they still wonder how He says He’s the Son of God, if actually He is Himself God. Well, the expression “Son of God” means God in human flesh!
Jesus put aside His glory so He could be hundred per cent man and hundred per cent God. That’s what legitimised His substitutionary work in our behalf; otherwise, it would have been questionable.
The Bible says He “…made Himself of no reputation…coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:7-8).
Jesus is God’s perfect imprint, the icon of the unseen God (Colossians 1:15, Hebrews 1:3). Hallelujah!
But who was He before He came as a man? He was the Word, God’s Word: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1).
Then the fourteenth verse says, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us….” The Word that was God became flesh, and He was named Jesus. Hallelujah!
In John 10:30, He said, “I and my Father are one.” When He made that assertion, the Bible says the Jews picked up stones to stone Him to death because they understood what He meant.
They said, “…For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God” (John 10:33). He wasn’t making Himself God; He was, and He is God! Hallelujah!
