Interesting passage for the day: “So if the Scripture, which cannot be untrue, speaks of those as gods to whom the message of God came, do you call it blasphemy when the one sanctified and sent into the world by the Father says, ‘I am the Son of God’?” – John 10:35-36, The Living Bible

Thought: For those who doubt that Jesus was anything more than a man, here’s a passage where He clearly claims to be more—though not less—than a man. The people are about ready to stone Him for the blasphemy of declaring Himself to be God. Does Jesus deny the charge? Far from it! Instead, Jesus gives the above defense. Men who received God’s message were called “gods,” though they were clearly not divine. But Jesus is not merely some man who has received the message of God. He is “the one sanctified and sent into the world by the Father.” Jesus is not of this world. He came as a man, but He is more than a man. His claim to divinity and to the title “God” is justified.

Question: Have you acknowledged that Jesus is God, the Son of God? If you have not, will you?
