THE LORD JESUS AFFIRMED HIS DEITY

DECEMBER 26, 2025

Then came the Jews round about him,

and said unto him, How long dost thou

make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ,

tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I

told you, and ye believed not...

(John 10:24-25).

There’re those who tell us Christians that even Jesus

never said He was the Christ or the Son of God;

therefore, why are we claiming what He never said about

Himself? Well, anyone who thinks like that has never

really read the Bible. Take for example our theme scripture

above; the Jews came to Jesus and said, “How long are

you going to keep us doubting; if you’re the Christ, tell us

plainly.”

The Lord’s answer was very simple, clear and direct. He said to them, “I already told you but you refused to

believe.” Then He added, “The works that I do in my

Father's name, they bear witness.” In other words, besides

me telling you that I am the Christ, the miracles, the works

that I do in my Father’s Name are further proof that I am

the Christ; they testify to who I am. The Master minced no words in affirming His deity. He

made it clear that He was the Christ. He even emphasized

it further in the ensuing verses 27-30, saying, “...My sheep hear my voice...And I give unto them eternal life; ...I

and my Father are one.” This is amazing. You have to be God to talk like this. Only God gives eternal life, and Jesus

is the true God and eternal life; that’s why He can give it:

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath

given us an understanding, that we may know him that

is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son

Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life” (1 John 5:20). Hallelujah!

Then He also said, “I and my Father are one” (John 10:30). What a declaration. The Jews, because they

understood the gravity of that statement, took up stones

to stone Him to death, saying, “How can you, a mere man,

dare to make yourself equal with God?” That’s because

they didn’t know who He was. He declared that He was the

Christ. He declared that He could give eternal life to men.

He declared that He was the Son of God, which means

God in human flesh. He said these things Himself.

In John 5:26 He said, “For as the Father hath life

in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in

himself.” Now you can understand why He gives eternal life to those who believe in Him. He has the authority. He

has life as the Father has life. He’s one and co-equal with

God. So, when you preach Jesus, when you talk about

Him, when you believe in Him, you're not dealing with an

ordinary man. Titus 2:13 calls Him the great God and our

Saviour Jesus Christ. He’s Himself God. Hallelujah!

PRAYER

Dear Father, I thank you for the revelation of Jesus Christ

as God in human form, the Word made flesh. I believe

and declare that He is the Christ, the true God and eternal

life. I walk in the boldness and authority of His person,

power, name and lordship, proclaiming His reign and

divinity to the ends of the earth. Through me, His truth

prevails and His glory is revealed, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
