Who is Jesus? Deity (Part 3 of 4)

Part 3 of a 4 week series on the study of Jesus:



The Names of Deity are Attributed to Jesus Christ:

Only Jesus as the Eternal, Uncreated God could bear the titles ascribed to Him in the Scriptures.

[a] He is the The Son of God, so referred to at least 40 times:
[See Matthew 14:33; 16:16; 27:54; John 5:18; 10:36; plus synonyms, in Matthew 3:17 and Psalm 2:7]
“Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, “Truly You are the
Son of God.” – Matthew 14:33

[b]He is The Only Begotten Son. [John 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18; 1 John 4:9]
“For God so lovedhte world the He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes
Shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)

[c]He is The Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. [Revelation 1:8; 22:13]
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
(Revelation 22:13)

[d]He is The Lord, The Lord of All, The Lord of Glory. [Acts 4:33; 9:17; 10:36; 1 Corinthians 2:8]
“The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ - He is Lord of all.” (Act 10:36)

[e]He is God. [John 20:28; Hebrews 1:8]
“And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

[f]He is God with us. [Matthew 1:23]
“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call
His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

[g]He is God blessed forever. [Romans 9:5]
“of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh, Christ
Came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.”


[h]He is Our Great God. [Titus 2:13]
“looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and
Savior Jesus Christ,”

[i]He is The Mighty God. [Isaiah 9:6]
“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government
will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”


[j]He is The Savior. [Luke 2:11]
“For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is
Christ the Lord.”


[k]He is The Prince of Life. [Acts 3:15]
“and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which
we are witnesses.”


[l]He is The Holy One of God. [Luke 4:34]
“saying, “Let us alone! What have we to do with You, Jesus of Nazareth?
Did You come to destroy us? I know who You are— the Holy One of God!”


[m]He is The Son of the Highest. [Luke 1:32]
“He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest;”

All of these titles carry the thought Deity. Jesus Christ, according to the New Testament, which affirms the Old Testament, specifically identifies Jesus Christ as the Eternal, Uncreated, and Uniquely One-of-a-Kind, Son of God having entered into this world in the stream of humanity, yet without sin, in order that He might provide eternal redemption for all who would come to Him in faith, place their trust in and reliance upon Him for salvation from sin.
