The Claim to be God

Jesus’ deity is a key element of the Christian faith. We believe that the man Jesus is not merely a historical figure, or even a prophet, but the Almighty God Himself. If someone questions or denies this, it would tend to suggest that they are not a Christian, or at the very least they are weak in their faith.

The Gospel of John emphatically proves that Jesus is God. There is an excellent note in the Recovery Version which mentions the different passages in that Gospel which prove Christ’s divinity. In this blog post I would like to discuss the one of them, John 20:28, and contrast it with two passages in Acts.
