Lesson 2051: Is Jesus God? Pt.1

C.S. Lewis said there are only 3 options about Jesus: either he was a liar, a lunatic, or Lord. We can’t just say that he was a good teacher, or a godly person.
 
Jesus Christ is absolutely equal with God the Father and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus is everything that God is.
 
One day, everyone (believers & unbelievers) will agree that Jesus is Lord.
 
Phil.2:6, 9-11 Jesus, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped;

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
 

God did not create Jesus; Jesus has always existed.
 
John 1:1-3 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.

All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.

 
Jesus claimed to be God.
 
John 5:18 This was why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
