The Son of Man and His Kingdom

  The deity of Jesus Christ is one of the essentials of the Christian faith.  Jesus who is 100% God and 100% man is clearly taught throughout Scripture. Jesus is God the Son the second person of the Holy Trinity. We as Christians believe that there is one God in three distinct persons God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  But there is often many who challenge that view;  Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, and even some “Christians”.  Jehovah Witnesses believe that Jesus is Michael the Archangel, Mormons believe that Jesus is a created being the firstborn of heavenly father, and even some say Jesus is a Son of God, but not God.  The Bible is clear in it’s teachings about Jesus, that He is not a created being(John 1), He’s not Michael the Archangel(I challenge anybody to find that in Scripture), and while Jesus is called the Son of God, He’s not a Son like we would think of one. God didn’t have a baby, Jesus is everlasting(Rev. 1:8) just like His Father and the Spirit. The Son of God is His role in the Holy Trinity. Glory to the Father, Glory to the Son, Glory to the Spirit. Three in essence one in unity.

  One of the biggest arguments against the deityof Christ, especially in evangelism, is that Jesus never claimed to be God. So here is my challenge to everyone.  Just in the 7 chapters we are currently studying comment verses that you see that show the deity of Christ. Here is mine. First we know that heaven is often called the kingdom of God, remember, who’s kingdom is it? Gods!!   Mattthew 13:41 “The Son of Man will send out His Angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend and those who practice lawlessness.” Jesus called it His kingdom because He is God.  There are plenty more verses that show the deity of Christ, so comment me yours.  God bless you all!!
