- Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications.
- 00:12
- This is a ministry of striving for eternity. One of the things that we see very often by the cults and false religions is that they struggle over the person and more specifically the deity of Jesus Christ.
- 00:25
- Now we've already looked at the Trinity and seen that all three members of the Trinity have the attributes of God, are called
- 00:33
- God, and do the works that only God can do. We see that in the Old Testament even,
- 00:39
- Jesus Christ is referred to as God. In Isaiah 9, verse 6, he's called
- 00:44
- Mighty God and Everlasting Father. In Isaiah 7, verse 14, he's referred to as Immanuel, which is translated
- 00:50
- God with us. And in Jeremiah 23, verse 5, he is referred to as Jehovah Sikhenu, God or Righteousness.
- 01:00
- Now what we end up seeing is that Jesus Christ has attributes that only God can do.
- 01:06
- In Colossians 1, verses 15 to 17, we see that he is the creator of all the universe and the whole universe is sustained by him.
- 01:13
- He is the firstborn, that is not referring to an offspring, but is referring to a preeminence.
- 01:19
- He is the firstborn of everything. He's the preeminence of everything. We end up seeing that he has the attributes that only
- 01:25
- God can do or have. He has omniscience. He reads, go through the Gospels and see how many times he reads people's minds.
- 01:33
- Over a hundred references to Jesus Christ knowing things that no man could know, but only if he has omniscience.
- 01:42
- He had the attributes of God. We end up seeing that Jesus Christ is God. You can learn more about this in my book.
