Was Christ the Son of God?

In our search for the answer to this question, we have already considered two important facts. First, that God inspired writers of the Old Testament wrote the biography of the Son of God hundreds of years before his conception and birth. Second, the after the fact biography of Jesus of Nazareth as recorded in the New Testament is nothing less than a carbon copy of the before the fact one recorded in the Old Testament. Who could possibly believe this to be merely a coincidence? Then too, it becomes evident that Jesus was the Son of God because of the many different types of things he was able to do.

If Jesus was not the Son of God, but rather merely an ordinary persom like we are, then how did he know all these things as well as many others. Other things he knew included: who was to bretray him, the very hour the nobleman’s son was healed, and that Thomas would say, "I will not believe unless I feel the nail prints in his hands and feet."

Just a short time later all these prophesies became history. Disciples forsook him (Mark 14:50), Peter denies him (Matthew 26:69-75), Jerusalem was captured (secular history reports it), and many false teachers did arise (I John 4:1).

Matthew 8, reveals he cleansed a man of leprosy, healed a centurion’s servant, healed Peter’s mother-in-law, calmed a great storm at sea, and cast demons from many. In Matthew 9 says he healed a man sick of the palsy, made a woman whole who had been seriously ill for twelve years, gave sight to two blind men, and raised Jairus’ daughter from the dead. Matthew 12 records that he healed people that were blind and dumb. Matthew 14 relates accounts about the miraculous feeding of five thousand, walking on the sea, and of many being healed by touching the hem of his garment. Matthew 15 declares that with only seven loaves and a few little fish, he fed several thousand, healed the daughter of the Canaanistish woman, and a great multitude of others. In Matthew 19 we read of his healing great multitudes along the coast of Judea.

We also read in the following: that in Matthew 20 he gave sight to two blind men; in Mark 3 he healed a man with a withered hand; in Luke 17, we find him healing ten men who had the dreaded disease of leprosy, and in Luke 22 that he restored a severed ear. John 5 tells us that he healed a man who had been born blind, John 11 records that he raised a man by the name of Lazareth from the dead.

In John 20:30-31 John declared, "And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: but these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God: and that believing ye might have life through his name."

In John 21:25 John declared, "And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written, every, I suppose even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen."

No wonder then, some of the people of that day said when Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done? These things prove that Christ fulfilled every prophesy which God had given concerning the one he had promised to send, and that he knew things, and foretold things which no ordinary man could have known, and did an almost countless number of undeniable miracles which no ordinary man could have done, is conclusive proof that Jesus of Nazareth was indeed the Son of God.
