Spend time in prayer and silence with God asking Him to meet with you and speak to you.
Bible Reading
Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I have said you are gods?’ If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and the Scripture cannot be broken—what about the One whom the Father set apart as His very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? Do not believe Me unless I do what My Father does. But if I do it, even though you don’t believe Me, believe the miracles, that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father.” Again, they tried to seize Him, but He escaped their grasp.
– John 10:34-39
Devotion
Jesus’ dialogue with the religious leaders continues. Jesus’ point in quoting Psalm 82:6 was that if human judges can in some sense be called “god” in the Scriptures, then this designation is even more appropriate for Himself. Jesus’ statement that the Scripture cannot be broken is evidence for His belief in the inviolability of God’s Word. Jesus and many of His opponents upheld the authority of God’s Word. In John chapter five, Jesus proclaimed, “You pore over the Scriptures because you think you have eternal life in them, and yet they testify of Me.” Jesus is telling the religious leaders to search the Scriptures and to know that they testify of Him.
The Big Question
Jesus made many exclusive claims in the Scriptures. At the end of the day, each of us must decide what we are going to believe concerning His claims. Jesus came into this world to reveal God the Father to us. His words and deeds were in accordance with God’s revealed Word. Who do you say Jesus is?
