The Deity of Christ: Part 3 - Miracles / Worship

11/4/2020

0 Comments

 
TBC Glassboro Sermons and More · The Deity Of Christ: Part 3
There are a number of proof texts from Scripture which support Christ’s deity.  Previously, the Scriptures have demonstrated that Christ is God because He descended from heaven (John 3:13), bears the title Eternal Father (Isaiah 9:6), created all things (John 1:3), and is the Lord of the Sabbath (Mark 2:28).

As well, Christ is God because He performed miracles while on earth.  Only God could perform the miracles, which Christ did.
  • And He answered and said to them, Go and report to John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have the gospel preached to them. - Luke 7:22

Unlike the miracles of Moses, Elijah, Elisha, and the Apostles, Christ used His miracles to prove His divine nature.
  • If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father. - John 10:37-38
  • Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know— - Acts 2:22

Christ is also God because He received worship.  Only God is to be worshiped.
  • You shall fear only the Lord your God; and you shall worship Him and swear by His name.              - Deuteronomy 6:13; cf. Deuteronomy 10:20
  • Then Jesus said to him, Go, Satan! For it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only. - Matthew 4:10
  • When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him.  But Peter raised him up, saying, Stand up; I too am just a man. - Acts 10:25-26

That Christ received worship and did not refuse it attests to the fact that He is divine.  Paul prophesied that at a future day, all in Heaven and on Earth will worship Christ.  
  • so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. - Philippians 2:10-11

    WHY TWO MINUTES?

    The Two-Minute Rule states “When you start a new habit, it should take less than two minutes to do.”   The idea behind the rule is to make a habit easy to start.
    One of the goals for 2-Minute Theology is to help believers develop a theological habit.
    Another goal is to provide believers with a resource they can use to 'test the spirits' to see if they are from God.
