So many people think Jesus was a righteous man, or a good teacher, or a great, peaceful leader, but the Bible clearly shows us He is God. There are so many verses that prove this point. The reason people have forgotten this or refuse to believe it is because their parents and grand parents never passed down their biblical knowledge, or they are just Bible illiterate themselves. It’s just that simple. You can’t misinterpret statements like this.
Jesus climbed into a boat and went back across the lake to His own town. 2 Some people brought to Him a paralyzed man on a mat. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the paralyzed man, “Be encouraged, My child! Your sins are forgiven.”3 But some of the teachers of religious law said to themselves, “That’s blasphemy! Does He think He’s God?”4 Jesus knew what they were thinking, so He asked them, “Why do you have such evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Is it easier to say ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or ‘Stand up and walk’?6 So I will prove to you that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins.” Then Jesus turned to the paralyzed man and said, “Stand up, pick up your mat, and go home!”7 And the man jumped up and went home! 8 Fear swept through the crowd as they saw this happen. And they praised God for sending a man with such great authority.
Matthew 9:1-8
