Jesus, Son of God. Is there any doubt?

"Who do you say that I am?" ...
This was a question Jesus asked Peter when others were still trying to figure out who He was.  Many saw Jesus as a good man, a great teacher, a prophet and someone who had unique powers to heal, do miracles and drive out demons.  Others wondered whether he was truly the Christ, the anointed one, the Messiah who was prophesied to come. Peter answered this question by saying Jesus is "The Christ of God".  Peter knew for sure that He was the anointed one, the Messiah even before he heard God speak from heaven that Jesus is God's Son, when Jesus was transfigured.

I, like Peter, have never doubted who Jesus is since being saved. I know He is God. He is God's Son. He is Lord of lords. He is King of kings.  He is I AM. I know because He forgave my sins (past, present, future) when I confessed them and repented many years ago.  I also know because the Bible tells me so and God's Word is true. The religious leaders of that day knew that only God can forgive sins.  Jesus said he can forgive sins.  He must be God incarnate, in the flesh. Praise God that I am forgiven and washed in the blood of the Lamb (Jesus) who died for us.

The mother of Jesus (Mary) was told by an angel that the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:35)

God himself spoke these words from heaven when Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist: "This (Jesus) is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." (Matthew 4: 17, Luke 3:22)

John, one of Jesus' disciples wrote that Jesus was the Word who was with God in the beginning (John 1:1) and also says, "The Word became flesh and lived for a while among us.  We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14)

Jesus said to Nicodemus, "For God so loved the world that he (God) gave his one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in him (Jesus) shall not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)  Jesus is God's Son!

The demons know who Jesus is.  When Jesus was healing the demon possessed man, the demons shouted,   "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God." (Mark 5:7)

When Jesus was transfigured on a mountain and was seen by three of his disciples,Peter, James and John, standing and talking with Moses and Elijah in His glorified body, God spoke from the cloud where they were standing saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.  Listen to him!" (Matt 17:5; Mark 9:7; Luke 9:35)

After Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, Martha acknowledges that, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world. (John 11:27)

When Jesus was asked by the high priest when he was being tried the night before his crucifixion "Are you the Christ, the Son of the Blessed One (God)? Jesus responded saying, "I am and you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven". (Mark 14:61,62) Jesus, Son of God, often referred to himself as Son of Man also.

When Jesus stood before Herod and Pilate they asked, "Are you then the Son of God?"  Jesus replied, "You are right in saying I am."  (Luke 22:66-71)

Only Jesus, the Son of God has the authority to forgive sins. If you don't know Him yet, you probably know that you are a sinner and need His forgiveness. Turn your life over to Him. Believe in Him. Pray to receive forgiveness and salvation. Then ... read His Word. Grow in Him. Talk to Him in prayer. As a new believer find someone to disciple or mentor you and help you to become more like Him (Jesus). The Holy Spirit will guide you and teach you as you go.  Walk in Him. Rest in Him. Trust Him. He is your help and protector and provider.    

If you already know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, then there should be no doubt in your mind that He is the Son of God! What a privilege it is to be a child of God, sons and daughters in the God's family thanks to what Jesus, the Son of God, has done for us! One day we too will receive a glorified body and be with Jesus and our Father forever.We are looking forward to our future with Him but also enjoying serving Him while we live in this world. Thank you Jesus for sending us your Holy Spirit to live Your life in us. (Galatians 2:20)
May your name be glorified O Lord, God!
