Jun 24, 2018 · Jesus willingly assumed this position Paul says. Therefore, Christ used the power of God to perform miracles, and that power was given to Him by the Holy Spirit because Jesus had given up His own power to be born a man in obedience to the plan of God. You can learn more about the Spirit working in Jesus as man in our John study.

First, let’s rehearse the string of biblical texts that lead us to what is often called a “Spirit Christology” — which is simply a term for recognizing the critical part played by the person and work of the Spirit in the person and work of Christ. Sinclair Ferguson observes three distinct “stages” in the life of Christ, through which we might ackno...
Now back to our original question: How did Jesus walk on water, multiply loaves, and raise the dead? The New Testament witness to the Spirit as Christ’s “inseparable companion” and source of divine power is too pronounced to ignore. Jesus, the God-man, apparently needed the Spirit. The terms of the incarnation, in honoring the fullness of humanity,...
Why make a point of what some might perceive as a technicality? Why note, as Kyle Claunch does, this “marked contrast” between the New Testament emphasis and “the tendency of post-biblical authors, who appeal to the deity of Jesus as the explanation for the extraordinary features of his life and ministry”? For one, a Spirit Christology demonstrates...
The first time we are told Jesus was filled with the Spirit is at His baptism (Matthew 3:16-17; Luke 3:21-22). After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, “ This is My ...
Nov 20, 2014 · There is no other mention in the gospels of Jesus being empowered by the Holy Spirit. The reason for this is that it seems He did most of His miracles by His own inherent divine power, and not by the power of the Holy Spirit. For example, when two blind men told Jesus “we want our sight”, the Bible says He had compassion on them and touched ...
Jan 29, 2014 · First, God can’t be tempted (James 1:13), but Jesus was tempted in every way and yet was without sin. (Hebr. 4:15) Second, according to the Law of Redemption He had to become a man to redeem what Adam had lost (Lev. 25:25) and save us, and third He had to become a man so He could be put to death. It’s impossible to kill God.
Jan 14, 2020 · To many modern theologians, Jesus’s miracles are really no different. He too did his miracles by the power of the Holy Spirit. As a result, they don’t point to his person —except insofar as Jesus relies on the Spirit—but to the human nature he shares with us. Like us, he must rely on divine resources outside himself.

May 30, 2024 · Lord (1 Corinthians 8:6) Christ (Matthew 1:16; 16:16) Son of God (Romans 1:3-4) Jesus did not veil His power or His authority; we see it shown in the following accounts: Jesus Turned Water to Wine (John 2:1-11) This was the first of His signs (miracles). “This, the first of His signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested His glory.
