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 (John 20:30-31).
From our theme scripture, we see the purpose for which the Holy Scriptures were written: it’s so we might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. This is one of the most amazing truths revealed to us in the entire Word of God. But then, what does the expression “Jesus is the Christ” really mean? What’s the meaning of Christ?
When we say Jesus is the Son of God, it doesn’t mean God gave birth to Jesus in the same way human fathers give birth to sons, like Mr. Scott giving birth to a son, called Scott Jr. No! “Son of God” in Scripture means God in human form. That’s why when Jesus declared that He was the Son of God, the religious leaders accused Him of blasphemy. They believed that Jesus declared Himself to be equal with God.
Similarly, in John 10:30, Jesus stated, “I and my Father are one,” which prompted the Jewish leaders to pick up stones to stone Him. They argued that He, being a man, made Himself God. Due to their ignorance of God’s Word and of who Jesus really is, they couldn’t accept His divine identity and the implications of His claims.
But Jesus wasn’t making Himself equal with God; He is Himself God—God in human flesh. This is the knowledge that God wants you to have, and He tells us what will happen when you believe this: you’ll have life through his Name. What life? The God-life! Through Jesus Christ, you have the divine nature; this eternal life supplants the human life with which you were born of your parents. You’re now an associate of the God-kind—a God-man—for as He (Jesus)is, so are you in this world (1 John 4:17). Glory to God!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the blessing of eternal life through Jesus Christ. I believe He is the Christ, the Son of God, through whom I have and live the God-life. I’m victorious, complete and preserved in Him. My life is a manifestation of the organic and existential attributes of deity, and I manifest your glory, wisdom, righteousness and grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

|| John 1:12-13
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. ||
|| 1 John 5:11-12
And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. 12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. ||
|| 1 Timothy 3:16
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. ||
