JESUS repeatedly used expressions about himself that can be predicated only of DEITY:
"I and the Father are one" (John 10:30)
"He who has seen Me has seen the Father" (John 10:30)
"I am the Truth" (John 14:6)http://www.khouse.org/blueletter/Jhn/Jhn014.html#top
"I am the Way" (to GOD) (John 14:6)
"I am the door; by Me if any man enter in he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and shall find pasture" (John 10-9)
"No one can come unto the Father but by Me" (John 14:6)
"I am the Bread of Life" (John 6:35, 38)
"I am the Life' (John 11:25; 14:6)
"I am the Resurrection" (John 11:25)
"He that believes on Me shall Never Die" (John 11:26)
"I am the Messiah" (John 4:25-26)
"Before Abraham was I am" (John 8:58). This is an amazing statement, beyond the reach of finite conception, eliminating the passage of time, and resolving the past and future into one Eternal Now.
"Father, glorify Me with the glory I had with Thee before the world was" (John 17:5). A clear recollection of his pre-incarnation existence.
JESUS is Himself called "GOD"
John 1:1; 10:33; 20:28
Romans 9:5
Colossians 1:16(Personal note:Start your reading at about 13)
2:9
I Timothy 1:17
Hebrews 1:8
I John 5:20
Jude 25
Thus, neither Jesus himself, nor the Scriptures, leave any possible doubt as to the nature of Jesus' Person.
The following called Jesus "The Son of God "
Three times Jesus categorically said "I am THE SON OF GOD"
(Mark 14:61-62; John 9:35-37; 10-36)
Mark (Mark 1:1)
John (John 3:16, 18; 20:31)
John the Baptist (John 1:34)
Nathanael (John 1:49)
Peter (Matthew 16:16)
Martha (John 11:27)
The Disciples (Matthew 14:33)
Gabriel (Luke 1:32, 35)
GOD HIMSELF called Jesus His Own "BELOVED SON"
(Matthew 3:17; 17:5, Mark 1:11; 9:7, Luke 3:22; 9:35)
Evil Spirits called Jesus "The Son of God"
(Matthew 8:29, Mark 3:11; 5:7, Luke 4:41
I trust this helps and your a good man to get all the way down here to read this line.
