Jesus is God

 

    Jesus holds the title deity.  He is fully God and fully human.  He is unique, special, and powerful.  He is Immanuel, which means "God with us".  He is sovereign in God's glory.  He is Yahweh, which means "I Am".

    God is the the one first in rank in the universe.  Jesus is the point of reference in history.  He is God's agent to get people to the goal: a relationship with God.  The Holy Spirit is the sustainer.  God is the head of the church, but Jesus unites the church.  Jesus is the first fruits for all who choose salvation.  He is what unites people with God.  He is the ruler and head of all authority.    

    God's full nature dwells in Jesus.  Jesus is the heir to God's throne.  God and Jesus are eternal, so the heir to the throne looks a little different than it does with people.  They work together as one all powerful God for all of the universe.  His resurrection is a blessing to all who believe.

    Jesus is God's radiance that sustains God's Word and makes it real for people.  Jesus is God's Word in the flesh.  He fulfilled all the prophecies to fulfill God's Word.  We see God's glory in Jesus because he is the truth and the only way to salvation.  He is the only way to true freedom.
