THE DIVINITY OF JESUS:PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

“Jesus saith unto him… If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him” (John 14:6-7).

“Is Jesus really God?” Many still ask today. They believe He was a great prophet and teacher, but find it difficult to accept that He is Himself God, but He is. The Bible says “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God” (John 1:1). That “Word” that the Bible says “was God” became flesh – Jesus – and dwelt among us: “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth”(John 1:14).

The Bible tells us that the fullness of the Godhead bodily dwells in Jesus (Colossians 2:9). No wonder Colossians 1:19 says “…For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell.” So, when you see Jesus, you wouldn’t need to look out for the Holy Spirit or the Father; He is the complete embodiment of Deity.

Jesus is the Most High, who alone is worthy of all praise, worship and adoration. If you’re born again, happy are you, for “…ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power”(Colossians 2:10). You’re identified with the most awesome and sublime personality that there is.
