00:00let's have a look at what the bible does say the divinity of the lord jesus

00:02if you look at the gospel of john in particular the divinity of jesus as son of god is one of the

00:08major themes of john's gospel and it comes up repeatedly in the book of john particularly in

00:15the first chapter first chapter of john is very clear what it means

00:21verse one in the beginning was the word the word was with god the word was god

00:28he was in the beginning with god all things were made through him without him nothing was made that

00:33was made in him was life and the life was the light of men and the light shines in the darkness

00:38and the darkness did not comprehend it john's saying here that in the beginning was the word

00:44logos in hebrew memra in logos in greek memra in hebrew and the memra according to some jewish

00:53scholars is the word through which god created the heavens and the earth look at the book of

00:59genesis it says and god said let there be light and there was light so god spoke his word and the

01:04word and what came into being came into being so that way you can see that all things were made

01:09through the word of god and the word of god was actually jesus who was the one who created the

01:14heavens and the earth he was there in the beginning he's always been there and through him

01:19the worlds were made and it says the word was god the word was with god and the word was god

01:26jesus witnesses have a bit of a problem with this so they translate it in their bible and say the word

01:31was a god you can't do that it says the word was god that's what it says in the greek that's what it

01:37says in the english that's what the bible says jesus was not a god he was the god manifested in the flesh

01:44and then in verse 14 he goes on to say the word became flesh and god amongst us we beheld his glory

01:51the glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth so this one who was defined as

01:57the word became flesh what has become flesh it means he became appeared in a human form we have flesh

02:06we also have spirit jesus came in the spirit but also in flesh as a real human being and we beheld his

02:16glory the disciples beheld his glory we didn't have that privilege but we can learn about it from them

02:21and he said we beheld his glory the glory as of the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth

02:27in other words this was the glory which came from god from eternity which was now manifesting itself

02:32in human form in the person of jesus christ one who exists from eternity to eternity through whom

02:39the world was made is here identified as the word of god he's here identified as the one who has become

02:46man and dwelled amongst us and we beheld him we saw him in his letter he said we handled him we touched

02:53him uh we saw him we we felt him we knew he was really there uh in the resurrection we see that he

03:00he had all the characteristics of a human being he could feel pain he could feel tired he could sleep

03:06he could eat he could do all the things which humans being to do he was really a man but all the time he

03:12was also god
