The Deity of Christ

Matt. 1:18-25

The Creation

• We find some interesting terms used – Gen. 1:1, 26– The Hebrew word is Elohim, a plural form– To whom is God talking in vs. 26?

• This was before the foundation of the world – 1 Pet. 1:20-21

Why Do So Many Have a Problem With This?

• God is so often described as being “one” – Ezek. 39:7

• Yet many times the same terms apply to Christ – Acts 2:27, 3:14

• We work on a human level, but God does not

When We Doubt Jesus’ Deity…

• We are trying to limit the power of God

• We are saying that Christ was created, when the Bible tells us He is eternal – John 8:54-58

• We are disagreeing with Scripture! - Heb. 1:7-9

Conclusion

There is no doubt that Jesus is the Son of God, part of the Godhead. We may not understand how the Father, Son and Holy Spirit can be separate & distinct and still be one, but we know it to be true.
