10 ways Jesus said he was God
1. He was the Son of God.
emotional

John Stott

But then I was introduced to Jesus. I
learned to my astonishment that God whose
impassibility I thought meant that he was
incapable of emotion, speaks of his burning
anger and vulnerable love. I discovered too that
Jesus of Nazareth, the perfect human being was no
tight lipped emotional ascetic. On the contrary,
I read that he turned on hypocrites with anger,
looked on a rich young ruler and loved him, could
both rejoice in spirit and sweat drops of blood
in spiritual agony, was constantly moved with
compassion, and even burst in to tears twice
public.

Romans 815-16 For you did not receive a spirit
that makes you a slave again to fear, but you
received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we
cry, "Abba Father." The Spirit himself testifies
with our spirit that we are God's children.

Spiritual growth






1 Peter 18 Though you have not seen him, you
love him and even though you do not see him now,
you believe in him and are filled with an
inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are
receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation
of your souls.

John Stott

Joy and peace are not suitable goals to
pursue they are by products of love. God gives
them to us, not when we pursue them, but when we
pursue Him and others in love.

Luke 2432 They asked each other, "Were not our

Beware equally of an undevotional
theology (mind without heart) and of an
untheological devotion (heart without mind)
