Jesus Claimed to Be the Divine Son of God

This Sunday’s Sermon: You can listen to Archbishop Beach’s Current Sunday Sermon: “The Resurrection: Part 2”, at our Website: www.AWordFromTheLord.org/listen/.

Message Summary: Jesus claimed to be the unique, divine Son of God; therefore, Jesus is on an equal footing with God. He said that He would one day judge the world, and how we responded to Him, in our lives, would determine how we would be judged. The Apostle John summarizes, in John 20:27-29, the interchange between Jesus and the Apostle Thomas when Thomas realizes who Jesus, the man that he had been following for years, is: “Then he said to Thomas, ’Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe’ Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.’”. Since we as followers of Jesus have not seen Jesus or His wounds, do we believe through our faith and are we able, by our faith, to say: “My Lord and my God!”? If not, why not?

Today’s Affirmation: Today, because of I am filled with the Holy Spirit, I will not be controlled by my Anxiety. Rather, I will walk in the Spirit’s fruit of Peace. “The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.” (Galatians 5:22f).

Scripture Reference (ESV): 2 Timothy 4:1; Matthew 1:1; Matthew 14:31-33; Psalms 92:1-15.
