According to the Bible
Jesus is God’s Son
According to the Muslims
He is not.
Jesus is God’s Son
According to God’s Word
But the Jews in their defiance
Reject what they heard.
Whom they had looked for
Did in fact arrive
But having not met their requirements
He was categorically denied.
Allah our God is one
And He has no son
Yet Jews and Muslims are divided
Regarding God’s kingdom.
Let us hear from the Bible
Instead of men’s traditions and ways,
Whether or not Jesus is God’s Son
Let’s see what the Bible says.
Jesus was monotheistic
Of that there was no doubt,
When we listen to him speak
That truly comes out.
Mark 12:29-30
The Lord our God is one
That is what Jesus taught,
Turn to Mark 12 verses 29 and 30
Jews, do not be distraught.
John 10:30
Not only that God is one
But that Jesus is one with God,
Do turn to John chapter 10 verse 30
And then help spread it abroad.
Luke 1:30-35
Hear the angel’s testimony
When apprising Mary,
St Luke chapter 1 shows
He was not of human prodigy.
Matthew 14:32-33
Followers of Jesus testified
After he had calmed a storm
“Truly you are the Son of God.”
He was not of a man born.
Matthew 16:13-17
It was revealed to Peter
By the Father Who is in heaven
That Jesus was the Christ
The Son of the living God.
John 11:25-27
Martha, whose brother had died,
Shared the same confession,
Clearly like Peter,
Hers was a Divine revelation.
Mark 3:11
Even demons recognized Jesus
As the Son of God
Even though they are commandeered
By Satan, the Fraud.
Matthew 27:54
Some put to guard Christ
At his crucifixion testified,
“Truly this was the Son of God,”
Immediately after he died.
John 20:24-31
And what about the disciple
The Word refer to as Thomas?
His “My Lord and my God”
Was a direct reference to Jesus.
John 5:18-24
Consider Jesus’ own testimony
Of God being his Father,
The Jews wanted to stone him
Like one would a blasphemer.
He was making himself
As an equal with God
And the Jews saw such behavior
As that of a fraud.
Mark 14:61-62
The High priest asked him
If he was the Christ,
Jesus said, I am,”
And that should have sufficed.
1 John 5:20
The Son of God has come
And given us an understanding
So that we may know him who is true,
And we are in him who is true
Even in his Son Jesus Christ
He is the true God and eternal life.
Matthew 3:17
At Jesus’ baptism
The Father spoke
“This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”
Go to Matthew 3:17 to find that quote.
Luke 9:34-35
On the mount as Jesus was transfigured
The Father spoke again,
“This is my Son,
Listen to him.”
I John 5:9-13
Whoever believes in the Son of God
Has the testimony in himself.
Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar,
Because he has not believed in the testimony
That God has borne concerning His Son.
And this is the testimony,
That God gave us eternal life,
And this life is in His Son.
Whoever has the Son has life;
Whoever does not have the son
Does not have life.
Hebrews 1:1-3
The Son is the exact radiance of God’s glory
And the exact representation of His being,
Sustaining all things by his powerful word
After he had provided purification for sins
He sat down at the right hand of His majesty in heaven.
John 1:1-2; John 17:5
Even before the world began
Jesus was with God and was God,
He shared the same glory as the Father
Even before Adam and Eve’s fall.
Philippians 2:5-11
Although eternally one with God
Jesus came to earth,
Fully God and fully man,
His was a virgin’s birth.
Matthew 1:22-23; John 1:14
His name was Emmanuel
Meaning God is with us,
He was the Word that became flesh
Yes, that was Jesus.
Colossians 2:9; John 8:36
For in him, that is Christ,
Dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily,
Thus, according to the Bible, the Word of God,
Him the Son sets free is definitely free.
Acts 16:31
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
And you shall be saved.
