THE PROOF THAT JESUS IS GOD GOSPEL OF JOHN LESSon #72Sermon Notes |
Date of Sermon: June 9, 2024
Main Idea: Jesus provides proof of His Deity Key Verse: “…but if I do (God’s works), even if you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I am in the Father.” John 10:38 Bible reading: 31 The Jews picked up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you going to stone me?” 33 The Jews answered him, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God.” 34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’? 35 If he called them gods to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be broken-- 36 do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’? 37 If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; 38 but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” 39 Again they sought to arrest him, but he escaped from their hands. 40 He went away again across the Jordan to the place where John had been baptizing at first, and there he remained. 41 And many came to him. And they said, “John did no sign, but everything that John said about this man was true.” 42 And many believed in him there. Outline: I. Jesus Defends His Deity by His Miracles (31-36) A.
