Jesus – More Than A Man – the Divine Son of God
SERIES: DO YOU REALLY KNOW JESUS?
While in conversation with Jesus, the Jews asked Him, “Who are You?” (John 8:25), and again, “Whom do You make Yourself out to be?” (8:53). In the context, He identified Himself as “the Son of Man” (8:28; cf. Daniel 7:13), the “Son” of God (8:36, 54) and the “I AM” (8:24, 28, 58). He was as clear as could be about His identity; He claimed to be deity—God. And, His questioners understood Him, for “…they took up stones to throw at Him…” (John 8:59). On a subsequent occasion, He asked them why they sought to stone Him (John 10:31-32). Their response, “…because You, being a Man, make Yourself God” (10:33).
