FAQ # 185

QUESTION  185 :  I’ve seen all the scriptures you’ve presented that Jesus is the very God, can you show me where he said that he is?

Jesus said, “I am the root [father] of David, and the offspring [son] of David” (Rev 22:16).

Here Christ claims to be both the father and son. Offspring represents descendant or son of the root. Root suggests sustainer of life or the source of being.

The psalmist David tells us that God is that life, the source of all life and the very root of life. He said, “with thee, O God is the fountain of life” (Psalms 36:9). For instance, with me is the ability to type with my hands, so I can make a booklet. With God is life, so he can make humans or angels. Yet Christ also proclaims, “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). Here Christ stated that he is the father by his claim to being THE life. No wonder he could have said to Philip’s questions about revealing the father, “Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip” (John 14:9)?

Notice he is also truth, so then, for the true believers to worship God they must attest to the fact that Jesus is the very God or else he/she lacks truth and therefore is unable to give God true worship. For they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. Not spirit only, but also truth.
