One of the most vital declarations in Christian theology is this: Jesus Christ is God manifested in human flesh. He is not merely a prophet or a moral teacher — He is the visible image of the invisible God, as Scripture powerfully affirms.
Jesus Demands the Same Honor as God
In John 5:23, Jesus made a bold, divine claim:
“That all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.”
No prophet, no teacher, no angel has ever demanded such honor — only God Himself is worthy of it. Jesus, therefore, unmistakably placed Himself as equal with God.
When You See Jesus, You See God
In John 14:9, Jesus declared:
“Whoever has seen Me has seen the Father.”
This is a staggering statement. The incarnate Jesus is the full revelation of the invisible God. Not a reflection or mere representative — but God Himself clothed in humanity.
The Entire Bible Confirms His Divinity
Scripture consistently testifies to this truth:
-
John 1:1,14 — “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… and the Word became flesh.”
-
Colossians 2:9 — “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.”
-
Titus 2:13 — “…our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.”
Rejecting Jesus' Divinity Is Rejecting God
Jesus Himself warned in John 8:24:
“If you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”
Believing in the divinity of Christ is not optional — it is the very foundation of saving faith.
Final Word
At Shimba Theological Institute, we boldly proclaim this eternal truth:
Jesus Christ is God, the sinless Savior, the eternal Word, and the Lord of all creation. He alone offers salvation, and to deny His deity is to reject the living God.
Embrace Him today, for He is the only way, the truth, and the life.
