Jesus is LORD- R.A. Torrey
A) Jesus's divine attributes prove His Diety. All the distinctively divine attributes are ascribed to Jesus Christ, and in Him is said to dwell "all the fullness of the Godhead" Col 2:9 There are five distinctively divine attributes, that is attributes that God alone possesses.1) Omnipotence2) Omniscience3) Omnipresence4) Eternity5) Immutability... Each one of these distinctively divine attributes is ascribed to Jesus Christ.1) Omnipotence - We are taught that Jesus had power over diesease, death, winds, the sea and demons, they were all subject to his word. Ephesians 1:21 "Far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every named that is named not only in this age but also in that which is to come." For some context read Ephesians 1:20 this talks about what God the Father did with Jesus after he raised him from the dead.Hebrews 1:3 "He upholds all things by the word of His power"2) Omniscience - We are taught in the Bible that Jesus knew men's lives, even their secret histories, that He knew the secret thoughts of men, knew all men what was in manJohn 4:19,19 "Jesus said to her, Go call your husband and come here, (17) The woman answered and said I have no husband, Jesus said to her You have well said I have no husband. (18) For you have had five husbands, and the one whom you now have is not your husband. In that you spoke truly (19) The woman said to Him, sir I perceive that You are a prophet."Mark 2:8 "But immidiately, when Jesus perceived in His spirit that they reasoned thus withing themselves, He said to them, Why do you reason about these things in your hearts?"We are told in 2 Chronicles 6:30 "then hear from heaven You dwelling place, and forgive and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know for You alone know the hearts of the sons of men"John 16:30 "Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that you came forth from God."Colossians 2:3 "in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."3) Omnipresence - is also ascribed to Jesus Christ.Matthew 18:20 "For where two or three are gathered in My name, I am there in the midst of them."Matthew 28:20 "teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo I am with you always, even to the end of the age. AmenMatthew 14:20 "At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me and I in you."2 Corinthians 13:5 "Examine yourselves as to wheather you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you? unless indeed you are disqualified." (Or do not stand the test)4) Eternity - is also ascribed to Jesus ChristJohn 1:1 "in the begining was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."John 8:58 "Jesus said to them, most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM." Note that Jesus did not merely say "before Abraham I was," but before Abraham was I AM thus declaring Himself to be the eternal I Am.Exodus 3:14 "And God said to Moses, I AM WHO I AM. And He said thus you shall say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you."Even in the old testement is there a declaration of the eternity of the Christ who was to be born in Bethlehem.Micah 5:2 "But you Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth the Me The One to be ruler in Israel, Whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting."5) Immutability - This is also taughtHebrews 13:8 "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever."Hebrews 1:11,12 They (the heavens) will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like a garment; like a cloak You will fold them up, and they will be changed. But You are the same and Your years will not fail."
