God in Human Form By Billy Graham “[Christ] has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God.” —1 Peter 3:22, NKJV What proofs did Jesus offer that He was truly God come in human form? First, there was the proof of His perfect life. He could ask, “Which of you convicts me of sin?” (John 8:46)—and no one could answer. Second, there was the evidence of His miraculous power. His power was the power of God Almighty. Third, there was the evidence of fulfilled prophecy. Hundreds of years before His birth the prophets of the Old Testament spoke precisely of His death and resurrection. Fourth, there was the evidence of His resurrection from the dead. Fifth, there is the proof of changed lives. Christ alone, the divine Son of God, has power to change the human heart. And He does. Faith in Christ is not a “leap in the dark.” It is based on the solid facts of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Thank God we have a solid foundation in Him! Hope for Today Jesus didn’t attempt to disguise His identity. Those who believe He never claimed to be God are not familiar with Scripture because that is the very reason they crucified Him! Believers know whom they have believed. | ||
