When He spoke with authority
• Matt. 7:28- 29
• When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at is teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
HE IS NOT OF THIS WORLD- HE IS DIVINE !HE IS NOT OF THIS WORLD- HE IS DIVINE !
Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My Jesus answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be kingdom were of this world, then My servants would be
fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but fighting so that I would not be handed over to the Jews; but as it is,as it is, My kingdom is not of this realmMy kingdom is not of this realm.”.”
John 18:36John 18:36
And He was And He was saying to them, saying to them, "You are from "You are from
below, I am from below, I am from above; you are above; you are of this world, of this world, I I am not of this am not of this
world. world. John 8:23John 8:23

• Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you come to believe because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

Jesus Affirmed His Godliness
• He declares that He will come to be the judge of all men (Matthew 25:31). In Jewish theology the judgment of the world was a distinctively Divine, and not a Messianic, prerogative.
• In the parable of the wicked husbandmen, He describes Himself as the son of the householder, while the Prophets, one and all, are represented as the servants (Matthew 21:33 sqq.).
• He is the Lord of Angels, who execute His command (Matthew 24:31).
• He approves the confession of Peter when he recognizes Him, not as Messiah — a step long since taken by all the Apostles — but explicitly as the Son of God: and He declares the knowledge due to a special revelation from the Father (Matthew 16:16-17).
• Finally, before Caiphas He not merely declares Himself to be the Messiah, but in reply to a second and distinct question affirms His claim to be the Son of God. He is instantly declared by the high priest to be guilty of blasphemy, an offense which could not have been attached to the claim to be simply the Messias (Luke 22:66-71).

• The differences in actions of the three persons might be described in this way:
– Everything comes from the Father, everything is accomplished and actualized by the Son, everything reaches humanity and becomes present to and experienced by humanity through the Holy Spirit.
– One the other hand, the return to God follows a reverse process: in the Spirit and through the Son, we reach the Father.
