Aug 20, 2019 · At one point in his ministry, Jesus said, “My Father has been working until now, and I have been working” (John 5). Therefore the Jews sought to kill Him partly because He said that God was His Father, making Himself equal to God. Jesus’ statement was construed as a claim to deity, because Jesus was claiming to work as God on the earth.

Jan 4, 2022 · During His earthly ministry, Christ completely submitted Himself to the will of the Father (John 5:19). As part of the kenosis, Jesus sometimes operated within the limitations of humanity. God does not get tired or thirsty, but Jesus did (John 4:6; 19:28). God knows all things, but it seems that, at least once, Jesus voluntarily surrendered the ...
Dec 18, 2017 · Paul says in 1 Timothy 2:5, “There is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man” — the human — “Christ Jesus.” So, in his divine nature, Christ was fully God. In his human nature, he was fully man. In his divine nature, he had all the essential attributes of God during his incarnation, and in his human nature ...
Aug 10, 2022 · Jesus did not lose any of His divine attributes, but He voluntarily chose to “restrict” the use of His divine attributes. This restriction is part of the “self-emptying” of himself as described in Philippians 2:7. Note that this is a restriction of His use and not losing His divine nature as a human being.

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.

Nov 20, 2014 · It says that Jesus did the Father’s work and His followers will also do the Father’s work (Jn. 14:10-12). This message was spoken to the disciples and we know that their “works” are given in the book of Acts where we see more people coming to trust in God than in the gospels.
