Is Jesus really God? If an unbeliever asked you that question how would you show him proof from the Scriptures? Beginning with the Old Testament see that He was referred to as deity in prophecy. Then hear numerous passages in the New Testament concerning this. See how the Book of John handles the question and find out the meaning of “in the beginning”. Learn that Jesus made everything so He could not be created. See Jesus’ own claims for His deity and how He referred to Himself as I AM, the name for God. Find out that it was these claims of deity that angered the Jewish religious leaders and led to His crucifixion.
