But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, \u201cAre you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am,\u201d said Jesus. \u201cAnd you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Bible, Mark 14:61\u201362<\/i><\/p>\n
I and the Father are one.<\/p>\n
The Bible, John 10:30<\/i><\/p>\n
He [Jesus] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.<\/p>\n
The Bible, Colossians 1:15\u201320<\/i><\/p>\n
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form \u2026<\/p>\n
The Bible, Colossians 2:9<\/i><\/p>\n
Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.<\/p>\n
The Bible, Revelation 22:12\u201313<\/i><\/p>\n
God is best known in Christ; the sun is not seen but by the light of the sun.<\/p>\n
William Bridge<\/i><\/p>\n
[In the person of Christ] a man has not become God; God has become man.<\/p>\n
Cyril of Alexandria<\/i><\/p>\n
It pleases the Father that all fullness should be in Christ; therefore there is nothing but emptiness anywhere else.<\/p>\n
W. Gadsby<\/i><\/p>\n
If ever the Divine appeared on earth, it was in the person of Christ.<\/p>\n
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe<\/i><\/p>\n
For I have shown from the Scriptures, that no one of the sons of Adam is as to everything, and absolutely, called God, or named Lord. But that He is Himself in His own right, beyond all men who ever lived, God, and Lord, and King Eternal, and the Incarnate Word, proclaimed by all the prophets, the apostles, and by the Spirit Himself, may be seen by all who have attained to even a small portion of the truth. Now, the Scriptures would not have testified these things of Him, if, like others, He had been a mere man.<\/p>\n
Irenaeus<\/i><\/p>\n
Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God because He said so.<\/p>\n
C.S. Lewis<\/i><\/p>\n
Anything that one imagines of God apart from Christ is only useless thinking and vain idolatry.<\/p>\n
Martin Luther<\/i><\/p>\n
We may not like the Jesus of the historical documents; but like him or not, we meet him there as a divine being on whom our personal destiny depends.<\/p>\n
John Warwick Montgomery<\/i><\/p>\n
Although Christ was God, he took flesh; and having been made man, he remained what he was, God.<\/p>\n
Origen<\/i><\/p>\n
Jesus Christ\u2019s claim of divinity is the most serious claim anyone ever made. Everything about Christianity hinges on His incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection. That\u2019s what Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter are all about.<\/p>\n
Luis Palau<\/i><\/p>\n
The divinity of Jesus is not a dispensable extra that has no significance for our salvation. On the contrary, our salvation depends on it. We can be saved only by God Himself.<\/p>\n
K. Runia<\/i><\/p>\n
So close was Christ\u2019s connection with God that he equated a man\u2019s attitude to himself with the man\u2019s attitude to God.<\/p>\n
