Decent Essays

The Son of God Jesus (Yeshua) is the Son of God, the second person of the trinity. As such, He is equal to God, yet many do not believe that He is the Son of God. No one can explain how three persons can be one because God’s ways are not man’s ways. Isaiah says in his writings, “As the heavens are higher than earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts” (55:9 TLV). Though He was God, He took on human form and lowered Himself to become like a man.
Jesus, the Son of God, came in the flesh. He did not come for His own glory, but to save a world in need. Again, Isaiah prophesied, “For to us a child is born, a son will be given to us, and the government will be upon His shoulder. His Name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, My Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace” (9:5 TLV). This prophecy and others like it were given 740 years before Jesus was born, yet they were fulfilled perfectly (Douglas 25). Though He was born as a baby, Messiah’s birth was totally different than any other human being; for He was conceived supernaturally through the Ruach ha-Kodesh, or the Holy Spirit.

Yes, Jesus came to earth as a man, but even from the moment of conception, His life was drastically different than any person who ever existed. Though He was the King of Kings, He came as a servant of all.
As servant of all, Jesus performed many miracles to demonstrate His deity and to prove that what He said was true (Douglas 48). The New Testament talks about many of the miracles Jesus did. In Matthew 8:26, Jesus “rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became totally calm” (TLV). Likewise, Jesus cast demons out of people. “The demons kept begging Him, if you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs. And He told Them, Go! So they came out and went into the pigs” (Matthew 8:31-32 TLV). Messiah cured many people, including the blind, deaf, lepers and diseased. He healed the sick and raised
