JESUS— MESSIAH AND SON OF THE BLESSED MIGHTY ONE!

JESUS— MESSIAH AND SON OF THE BLESSED MIGHTY ONE!

Again the high priest asked him, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”  “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.”  The high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”   They all condemned him as worthy of death. —Mark 14:61-64

            There are those who say that Jesus never claimed to be the Son of God.  Not a son of God, but the Son of God.  Well, I will always go with what God’s Word says over man’s word.  In this passage when Jesus is asked if He is “the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One,” He responds with “I am.”  Then He goes on to say, “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” 

            Now, what was the response of the high priest?  He “tore his clothes. “Why do we need any more witnesses?” he asked. “You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?”  And the rest were asked what they thought, “They all condemned him as worthy of death.”  They knew exactly what Jesus was claiming.  They did not believe Him and they wanted to kill Him for the claim.

            So, if any are saying foolish things like, “Jesus never claimed to be the Son of God,” just remind them what God’s Word says, the testimony of Jesus Himself and the response of the Jewish people toward that claim.  THEY WANTED TO KILL HIM FOR CLAIMING HE WAS “THE MESSIAH, THE SON OF THE BLESSED ONE.” 

            Actually, what this comes down to is either accepting the Word of God, accepting the testimony of Jesus Himself and understanding why the Jewish people wanted to kill Jesus or… to not to accept the Word of God, not to accept the testimony of Jesus Himself and not to understand why the Jewish people wanted to kill Him.  To not believe is intellectually dishonest, deception and denial of the Truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJVxJrUTwGU Oh, that we would accept the Truth if we have not already! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZD6khv6pGkw

Dear Father, I will follow Him for the rest of my life and forever.  May I do so by the power of Your Holy Spirit and in the authority of Your Son Jesus.  Yes, may this be so! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjMMeuQ1yLY
