Did Jesus Claim To Be God?

 

Today's verse is John 10:33

The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. 

    It has been said, that Jesus never claimed to be God! Yet, here, in my Bible, the Jews that opposed him clearly understood that he had. So let it be settled, that Jesus Christ, The Messiah, the only begotten of the Father, the Word of God, is indeed God, just as the Father is God, just as the Holy Spirit (or Ghost) is God. But yet, being distinct these three are One. The Father, the source, by whom all things are, Speaks, And the Father being the Father is Such that all that he says has a life of its own. This is the Son, the living Word of God, by whom God is manifest, or visible, to the world. And they being as they are, are so Powerful, that their Power (a poor word to use for such. Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, Saith the Lord of hosts.) has life of its own. It is by him that we are able to experience God. So let it never be said that Jesus never claimed to be God. And if you never realize anything else God has done for you, know that he submitted to the Cross, that he might take the penalty of your sin upon himself, that you with him, might dwell with the Father forevermore. Amen.

To God be the Glory
