FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH IN JESUS M. M. NINAN The Jesus went on to explain (Matthew 26:64) 'Nevertheless I say to you, hereafter you shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of the power of God, and coming in the clouds of heaven" . Caiphas rent his garments and accused Jesus of blasphemy. The second time Jesus was asked: (Luke 22:70, 71). "Art thou then the Son of God?" Jesus replied: "You say that I am." This was again the typical semitic reply of assent and the Sanhedren understood it as such and says; "What need we any further testimony? for we ourselves have heard it from his own mouth" It was these that sealed the decree of death by the Jews. Before Pilot the High Priest says: (John 19:7). "We have a law; and according to that law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God " This is the law that the High Priest was referring to: (Leviticus 24:17) "He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, dying let him die: all the multitude shall stone him, whether he be a native or a stranger. He that blasphemeth the name of the Lord dying let him die" . Thomas called Jesus God John 20:28 - And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Certainly the Apostles and the early church taught that Jesus was indeed God. 172
FOUNDATIONS OF FAITH IN JESUS M. M. NINAN Philippians 2:5-7 - Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond-servant, and coming in the likeness of men. 1 Timothy 3:16 - And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Preached among the Gentiles, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory. Titus 2:13 - looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ Hebrews 1:8,9 - But to the Son He (God) says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” 2 John 1:7 - For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Revelation 1:8 - “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 22:13 - “I AM the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”... 22:16 - “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches.” Jesus said he was not of This World John 8:23 He said to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins." What is the proof? True, Jesus laid down his glory to take the human form. But he showed his power as signs so that his claims may be confirmed. They included signs and miracles that he performed. He healed the sick, raised the dead He controled the winds and the sea - ability to control nature "Who is this? Even the wind and waves obey him!" The Resurrection was the supreme evidence of his Divinity Jesus' supreme evidence of deity was his own resurrection from the dead something that no one in history can claim. Five times in the course of his life, Jesus clearly predicted in what specific way he would be killed and affirmed that three days later he would rise from the dead. "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill him. And when he is killed, after three days he will rise." 173
