Question #1: How can Jesus and God be the same?

1. How can Jesus and God be the same?

The Trinity is one of the great mysteries of God! It’s a paradox that reminds us that He is great beyond our comprehension, and it’s also just one of those things we won’t fully understand until we are in heaven. However, the Bible clearly teaches that there is only one God (Deut. 6:4; 2 Sam. 7:22; Is. 43:10; 44:8; Rom. 3:30; 1 Cor. 8:4), yet He reveals Himself in three co-equal Persons (Matt. 28:19; John 15:26; 1 Pet. 1:2). Jesus is indeed God because there are traits attributed to Him that are only true of God (John 8:58; 1 Cor. 8:6; Phil. 2:10-11; Col. 1:13-20). (For a good sermon on the Trinity, see Dewey’s message from July 13, 2008).

Tomorrow's question: Why can the priests hear God, but no one else can?
