Page 2 of 4 2. Jesus claimed that after his death and resurrection he would have the ability to be everywhere or anywhere all at the same time and in the same respect. All of Him can be everywhere. He claimed to be omnipresent, a natural ability of God. Matthew 18:20 - "For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst." Jesus is through all space, just as God is. 3. After his death and resurrection, Jesus claimed the ability to be within people. John 17:26 - "and I have made Thy name known to them, and will make it known; that the love wherewith Thou didst love Me may be in them, and I in them." 4. After his resurrection, Jesus claimed to have all authority and power in heaven and on earth. Matthew 28:18 - "And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.'" Mark 13:26 - "And then they will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory." Jesus said that in the future all people would see His great power and glory. 5. Jesus claimed to be eternal and live throughout all time: a natural ability of God. Matthew 28:20 - "teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Jesus expects obedience as we would obey God. 6. Jesus claimed to have lived before Abraham was born, and applied the Divine Name of God "I am" to himself. John 8:58, 59 - "Jesus said to them, ‘Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.' Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him; but Jesus hid Himself, and went out of the temple." His enemies recognized this claim and wanted to kill him for it. They finally succeeded, but the tomb would not hold him and he rose from the dead. 7. Jesus claimed to be with God and have God's glory before the creation of the world. He prayed to God from this perspective. John 17:5 - "And now, glorify Thou Me together with Thyself, Father, with the glory which I had with Thee before the world was." |
