The Deity of Christ – John 1:1-5

by Jim Jamison

The deity of Christ is an essential, non-negotiable tenet of the Christian faith. Several lines of Biblical evidence flow together to prove conclusively that Jesus is God.

1. The direct statements of Scripture affirm that Jesus is God.

2. Jesus receives titles elsewhere in Scripture given to God.

3. Jesus possesses the incommunicable attributes of God.

4. Jesus does the works that only God can do.

5. Jesus received worship – even though He taught that only God is to be worshipped.

6. Jesus received prayer, which is only to be addressed to God.

The reality that Jesus is God, introduced in the first five verses of John’s gospel prologue show evidences of the deity of the incarnate Word, and is expanded throughout John’s gospel as he carefully selects the claims and miracles that seal that truth. It is because of who Jesus truly is that the truth of salvation can be won by Him, and received by us. … READ MORE

Learn to trust God – Psalm 139:5

by Jim Jamison

Psalm 139:5 says, “Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.” God does not forget us, and according to Malachi 3:16-17 He has recorded our devotion to Him in a book.

We need to turn our fears and anxiety over to the Lord today, and live in the confidence of his abiding knowledge of our life before Him,… READ MORE

God’s House – John 14:2

by Jim Jamison

What does your dream home look like? Jesus said in John 14:2, “In My Father’s house are many mansions…” The Greek word here for “mansions” is the word “monay” which is a dwelling place. These places which the Lord is speaking is not pictured as a separate building, as if heaven were a giant housing tract. Rather the picture is that of a father building additional rooms onto his house for his sons and their families. In modern terms the dwelling places might be pictured as rooms or apartments in the Father’s spacious house. The emphasis is on intimacy. Revelation 21:3 tells us this is a place where “the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people and God Himself will be among them.” The place the Lord is preparing for those who follow Him is a place of dazzling beauty according to Revelation 21:9-17, Just think, a part of the reason Jesus died, buried, and rose again, was to prepare this place for us! This place is not for us to see (like a vacation – it is for us to enjoy and use). The Father’s house is a … READ MORE
