Sometimes when we are thinking about the Deity of Jesus Christ we are curious about what Jesus has thought and believed about himself. Why should we consider Him as God if Jesus himself denied it? To answer this we need to look through the Bible.
Some people argue that Jesus did not himself make any claim to be God. According to them; Jesus’ message was entirely about the Father, not about himself.
What does the Scripture say about the Deity of Jesus Christ?
It is true that Jesus never mentioned an explicit claim to deity like saying “I am God” anywhere in the Bible. However, the Bible clearly stated many claims from Jesus which would be inappropriate if made by someone who is less than God.
Jesus’ statement is recorded Matthew 13:41 saying: “The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.”
Even though Jesus introduced himself as The Son of Man but we can observe clearly that this is not an ordinary human Jesus was talking about. Jesus was talking about himself and as we can clearly see that Jesus told his hearers that he has authority to send out angels.
By declaring his authority upon angels Jesus declared his deity.
