JESUS CHRIST: GOD-MAN - Vital Christianity

175
● He is Omnipresent (everywhere at once)
"And God placed all things under His feet and appointed Him to be head over
everything for the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills
everything in every way" (Eph 1:23).
Jesus' omnipresence (literally "all-presence") does not refer to His physical presence
since He is now at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus presently lives in a glorified body
which He received when He rose from the dead. Although this body does not have the
limitations of His previous body (which was very much a human body like ours—1 Co 15), it
still is limited to space and time in the sense that it (and therefore He—Jesus) can only be at one
place at one time. Jesus, therefore, is omnipresent in that He dwells everywhere by His Spirit-the
Holy Spirit.
● He is Omniscient (all-knowing—Jn 2:24; 4:29)
● He knew where Nathanael was (1:48).
● He knew the plot of Judas (6:70; 13:11).
● He knew the hearts of the Pharisees (Mt 12:25; Lk 5:22; 6:8; 7:39-40).
● He knew the thoughts of the scribes (Mt 9:3-4).
● He knew the sincerity of one scribe (Mk 12:34).
● He knew the history of the Samaritan woman (Jn 4:29).
● He knew the problems of His disciples (Lk 9:46-47).
There is no contradiction here between His omniscience and His being limited in
knowledge (as a man). While He retained His deity on earth (thus His omniscience) He
voluntarily abstained from using it, that He might be totally dependent upon God the Father
through the operation of God the Spirit.
● He is Omnipotent (Mk 5:11-15; Mt 8:26; 9:25).
● Over disease (8:1-4; Lk 4:39).
● Over demons (Mt 8:16-17,28-32; Lk 4:35).
● Over people (Mt 9:9; Jn 17:2).
● Over nature (Mt 8:26).
● Over sin (9:1-8).
● Over traditions (vv. 10-17).
● Over death (Lk 7:14-15; 8:54,56; Jn 11:4).
● He is Immutable (Heb 13:8).
The claim that Jesus is the same "yesterday and today and forever" (Heb 13:8) is a
powerful testimonial to the eternality of God the Son. The literal translation reads:
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today and into the everlasting."
