Lesson 11: The Deity of Christ

If Jesus did claim to be God, He was the only leader of a major world religion to do so.

I. Christ’s Claims During His Ministry

A. He claimed to be the I AM of the Old Testament John 8:58: “Before Abraham was, I AM.” John 8:24: “If you do not believe that I AM, you shall die in your sins.”

B. He claimed to be One with God the Father. Declaration by Jesus: “I and My Father are One.” Response of the Jews: Took up stones to stone Him. Why? “You, being a man, make yourself to be God” (John 10:30).

C. Christ claimed to possess divine attributes. 1.He claimed to be Omnipresent 2.He claimed to be Eternal

D. Christ claimed power to perform divine acts. 1.To forgive sins 2.To resurrect those who believe in Him 3.To give eternal life

II. Christ’s Claims at the Trial

A. The question: Mark 14:61— “Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?”

B. The Answer: Mark 14:62—“I Am” 1.Jesus claims to be the Messiah. 2.Jesus claims to be the Son of God. 3.Jesus claims to be the Son of Man.

Daniel 7:13–14 I was watching in the night visions, and behold, One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven!

C. The Conviction: Jesus was not convicted for what He did or said He did. He was convicted for who He said He was.

III. Conclusion: Jesus claimed to be God.

Skeptic’s Letter Dear Christian, Thanks for your last letter. I want to continue to talk about the issues you have brought up. I respect you and your beliefs, but I cannot understand why you persist in your assertion that Jesus claimed to be God. I have read through most of the gospels, and I do not remember Jesus ever standing up to declare: “I am God!” I am confident that later followers of Jesus exalted him far above what he would have wanted them to. Let’s not put words in Jesus’ mouth. Jesus did not claim to be God; he only said that he was in God. Your friend, Dubious

IV. Application of Lesson

Finish writing your letter, explaining to someone why you believe that Jesus claimed to be God. Use appropriate Scripture verses.
