   Luke 1:30-35    Then the angel said to her, "Do not be afraid, 
   Mary, for you have found favor with God. {31} "And behold, you 
   will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall 
   call His name JESUS. {32} "He will be great, and will be called 
   the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the 
   throne of His father David. {33} "And He will reign over the 
   house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no 
   end." {34} Then Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since 
   I do not know a man?" {35} And the angel answered and said to 
   her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the 
   Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who 
   is to be born will be called the Son of God. 

   Matthew 3:16-17    When He had been baptized, Jesus came up 
   immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened 
   to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and 
   alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, 
   saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." 

   John 4:25-26    The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is 
   coming" (who is called Christ). "When He comes, He will tell us 
   all things."  Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am 
   He." 

   John 7:28-29    Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the 
   temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am 
   from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is 
   true, whom you do not know. {29} "But I know Him, for I am from 
   Him, and He sent Me."

   John 2:1-12 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of 
   Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was 
   called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they 
   wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no 
   wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? 
   mine hour is not yet come.  His mother saith unto the servants, 
   Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there 
   six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the 
   Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto 
   them, Fill the water pots with water. And they filled them up to 
   the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto 
   the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of 
   the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not 
   whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the 
   governor of the feast called the bridegroom and saith unto him, 
   Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when 
   men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept 
   the good wine until now.  This beginning of miracles did Jesus 
   in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his 
   disciples believed on him.  After this he went down to Capernaum, 
   he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they 
   continued there not many days.

   Matthew 4:23-25 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in 
   their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and 
   healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among 
   the people.  And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they 
   brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers 
   diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with 
   devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the 
   palsy; and he healed them. And there followed him great 
   multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from 
   Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

   Matthew 14:15-21  And when it was evening, his disciples came to 
   him, saying, This is a desert place, and the time is now past; 
   send the multitude away, that they may go into the villages, and 
   buy themselves victuals.  But Jesus said unto them, They need not 
   depart; give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, We have here 
   but five loaves, and two fishes.  He said, Bring them hither to 
   me.  And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and 
   took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to 
   heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his 
   disciples, and the disciples to the multitude.  And they did all 
   eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that 
   remained twelve baskets full. And they that had eaten were about 
   five thousand men, beside women and children.

   Mark 6:45-52   And straightway he constrained his disciples to 
   get into the ship, and to go to the other side before unto 
   Bethsaida, while he sent away the people. And when he had sent 
   them away, he departed into a mountain to pray. And when even 
   was come, the ship was in the midst of the sea, and he alone on 
   the land. And he saw them toiling in rowing; for the wind was 
   contrary unto them: and about the fourth watch of the night he 
   cometh unto them, walking upon the sea, and would have passed 
   by them. But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they 
   supposed it had been a spirit, and cried out. For they all saw 
   him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and 
   saith unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid. And 
   he went up unto them into the ship; and the wind ceased: and 
   they were sore amazed in themselves beyond measure, and wondered.  
   For they considered not the miracle of the loaves: for their 
   heart was hardened.

   Luke 7:11-13   And it came to pass the day after, that he went 
   into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, 
   and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, 
   behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son of his 
   mother, and she was a widow: and much people of the city was with 
   her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her, and 
   said unto her, Weep not. And he came and touched the bier: and 
   they that bare him stood still. And he said, Young man, I say 
   unto thee, Arise.  And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. 
   And he delivered him to his mother. And there came a fear on 
   all: and they glorified God, saying, That a great prophet is risen 
   up among us; and, That God hath visited his people.  And this 
   rumour of him went forth throughout all Judaea, and throughout 
   all the region round about.

   Mark 4:35-41  And the same day, when the even was come, he saith 
   unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.  And when they 
   had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the 
   ship. And there were also with him other little ships.  And 
   there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the 
   ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of 
   the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto 
   him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?  And he arose, and 
   rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And 
   the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  And he said unto 
   them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?  
   And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What 
   manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

   John 8:42    Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you 
   would love Me, for I proceeded forth and came from God; nor 
   have I come of Myself, but He sent Me. 

   Matthew 16:15-17    He said to them, "But who do you say that I 
   am?" {16} Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ, 
   the Son of the living God." {17} Jesus answered and said to 
   him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has 
   not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 

   John 9:35-39    Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and 
   when He had found him, He said to him, "Do you believe in the 
   Son of God?" {36} He answered and said, "Who is He, Lord, that 
   I may believe in Him?" {37} And Jesus said to him, "You have 
   both seen Him and it is He who is talking with you." {38} Then 
   he said, "Lord, I believe!" And he worshiped Him. {39} And 
   Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, that 
   those who do not see may see, and that those who see may be 
   made blind." 

   John 14:6-11    Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, 
   and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. {7} 
   "If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and 
   from now on you know Him and have seen Him." {8} Philip said to 
   Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." 
   {9} Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet 
   you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the 
   Father; so how can you say,  'Show us the Father'? {10} "Do you 
   not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The 
   words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; 
   but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. {11} "Believe 
   Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else 
   believe Me for the sake of the works themselves. 

   John 8:13-29    The Pharisees therefore said to Him, "You bear 
   witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true." {14} Jesus 
   answered and said to them, "Even if I bear witness of Myself, 
   My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am 
   going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am 
   going. {15} "You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. 
   {16} "And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not 
   alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. {17} "It is also 
   written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. {18} 
   "I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent 
   Me bears witness of Me." {19} Then they said to Him, "Where is 
   Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My 
   Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father 
   also." {20} These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, as He 
   taught in the temple; and no one laid hands on Him, for His 
   hour had not yet come. {21} Then Jesus said to them again, "I 
   am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. 
   Where I go you cannot come." {22} So the Jews said, "Will He 
   kill Himself, because He says, 'Where I go you cannot come'?" 
   {23} And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am from 
   above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. {24} 
   "Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if 
   you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." 
   {25} Then they said to Him, "Who are You?" And Jesus said to 
   them, "Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning. 
   {26} "I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, 
   but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those 
   things which I heard from Him." {27} They did not understand 
   that He spoke to them of the Father. {28} Then Jesus said to 
   them, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that 
   I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father 
   taught Me, I speak these things. {29} "And He who sent Me is 
   with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do 
   those things that please Him." 

   John 10:25   Jesus answered them,"I told you and you do not 
   believe. The works that I do in My Father's name, they bear 
   witness of Me."  {30} "I and My Father are one." {31} Then the 
   Jews took up stones again to stone Him. {32} Jesus answered 
   them, "Many good works I have shown you from My Father. For 
   which of those works do you stone Me?" {33} The Jews answered 
   Him, saying, "For a good work we do not stone You, but for 
   blasphemy, and because You, being a Man, make Yourself God." 

   John 12:45    "And he who sees Me sees Him who sent Me. 

   John 7:16    Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not 
   Mine, but His who sent Me. 

   John 10    "Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter 
   the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the 
   same is a thief and a robber. {2} "But he who enters by the 
   door is the shepherd of the sheep. {3} "To him the doorkeeper 
   opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep 
   by name and leads them out. {4} "And when he brings out his own 
   sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they 
   know his voice. {5} "Yet they will by no means follow a 
   stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the 
   voice of strangers." {6} Jesus used this illustration, but they 
   did not understand the things which He spoke to them. {7} Then 
   Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am 
   the door of the sheep. {8} "All who ever came before Me are 
   thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. {9} "I am 
   the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go 
   in and out and find pasture. {10} "The thief does not come 
   except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that 
   they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. 
   {11} "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life 
   for the sheep. {12} "But a hireling, he who is not the 
   shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming 
   and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep 
   and scatters them. {13} "The hireling flees because he is a 
   hireling and does not care about the sheep. {14} "I am the good 
   shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. {15} "As 
   the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down 
   My life for the sheep. {16} "And other sheep I have which are 
   not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My 
   voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. {17} 
   "Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that 
   I may take it again. {18} "No one takes it from Me, but I lay 
   it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have 
   power to take it again. This command I have received from My 
   Father." {19} Therefore there was a division again among the 
   Jews because of these sayings. {20} And many of them said, "He 
   has a demon and is mad. Why do you listen to Him?" {21} Others 
   said, "These are not the words of one who has a demon. Can a 
   demon open the eyes of the blind?" {22} Now it was the Feast of 
   Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. {23} And Jesus 
   walked in the temple, in Solomon's porch. {24} Then the Jews 
   surrounded Him and said to Him, "How long do You keep us in 
   doubt? If You are the Christ, tell us plainly." {25} Jesus 
   answered them, "I told you, and you do not believe. The works 
   that I do in My Father's name, they bear witness of Me. {26} 
   "But you do not believe, because you are not of My sheep, as I 
   said to you. {27} "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and 
   they follow Me. {28} "And I give them eternal life, and they 
   shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My 
   hand. {29} "My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater 
   than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's 
   hand. {30} "I and My Father are one." {31} Then the Jews took 
   up stones again to stone Him. {32} Jesus answered them, "Many 
   good works I have shown you from My Father. For which of those 
   works do you stone Me?" {33} The Jews answered Him, saying, 
   "For a good work we do not stone You, but for blasphemy, and 
   because You, being a Man, make Yourself God." {34} Jesus 
   answered them, "Is it not written in your law, 'I said, "You 
   are gods" '? {35} "If He called them gods, to whom the word of 
   God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken), {36} "do you say 
   of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, 'You 
   are blaspheming,' because I said, 'I am the Son of God'? {37} 
   "If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; {38} 
   "but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, 
   that you may know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I 
   in Him." {39} Therefore they sought again to seize Him, but He 
   escaped out of their hand. {40} And He went away again beyond 
   the Jordan to the place where John was baptizing at first, and 
   there He stayed. {41} Then many came to Him and said, "John 
   performed no sign, but all the things that John spoke about 
   this Man were true." {42} And many believed in Him there.

   John 16:26-28  In that day you will ask in My name, and I do 
   not say to you that I shall pray the Father for you; for the 
   Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have 
   believed that I came forth from God. I came forth from the 
   Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world 
   and go to the Father. 

   John 19:7    The Jews answered him, "We have a law, and 
   according to our law He ought to die, because He made Himself 
   the Son of God." 

   John 20:31    But these are written that you may believe that 
   Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may 
   have life in His name. 

   Luke 4:41    And demons also came out of many, crying out and 
   saying, "You are the Christ, the Son of God!" And He, rebuking 
   them, did not allow them to speak, for they knew that He was 
   the Christ. 

   Luke 7:48-49    Then He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 
   {49} And those who sat at the table with Him began to say to 
   themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 

   Luke 22:69-71    "Hereafter the Son of Man will sit on the 
   right hand of the power of God." {70} Then they all said, "Are 
   You then the Son of God?" So He said to them, "You rightly say 
   that I am." {71} And they said, "What further testimony do we 
   need? For we have heard it ourselves from His own mouth." 

   Matthew 8:28-29    When He had come to the other side, to the 
   country of the Gergesenes, there met Him two demon-possessed 
   men, coming out of the tombs, exceedingly fierce, so that no 
   one could pass that way. {29} And suddenly they cried out, 
   saying, "What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? 
   Have You come here to torment us before the time?" 

   Matthew 9:1-6    So He got into a boat, crossed over, and came 
   to His own city. {2} Then behold, they brought to Him a 
   paralytic lying on a bed. When Jesus saw their faith, He said 
   to the paralytic, "Son, be of good cheer; your sins are 
   forgiven you." {3} And at once some of the scribes said within 
   themselves, "This Man blasphemes!" {4} But Jesus, knowing their 
   thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts? {5} "For 
   which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or to 
   say,  'Arise and walk'? {6} "But that you may know that the Son 
   of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"; then He said to the 
   paralytic, "Arise, take up your bed, and go to your house." 

   Mark 3:11    And the unclean spirits, whenever they saw Him, 
   fell down before Him and cried out, saying, "You are the Son of 
   God." 

   Mark 9:2-10    Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and 
   John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; 
   and He was transfigured before them. {3} His clothes became 
   shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on 
   earth can whiten them. {4} And Elijah appeared to them with 
   Moses, and they were talking with Jesus. {5} Then Peter 
   answered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, it is good for us to be 
   here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for 
   Moses, and one for Elijah"; {6} because he did not know what to 
   say, for they were greatly afraid. {7} And a cloud came and 
   overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, 
   "This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!" {8} Suddenly, when they had 
   looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with 
   themselves. {9} Now as they came down from the mountain, He 
   commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had 
   seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead. {10} So they 
   kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from 
   the dead meant. 

   Mark 12:1-12    Then He began to speak to them in parables: "A 
   man planted a vineyard and set a hedge around it, dug a place 
   for the wine vat and built a tower. And he leased it to 
   vinedressers and went into a far country. {2} "Now at vintage-
   time he sent a servant to the vinedressers, that he might 
   receive some of the fruit of the vineyard from the 
   vinedressers. {3} "And they took him and beat him and sent him 
   away empty-handed. {4} "Again he sent them another servant, and 
   at him they threw stones, wounded him in the head, and sent him 
   away shamefully treated. {5} "And again he sent another, and 
   him they killed; and many others, beating some and killing 
   some. {6} "Therefore still having one son, his beloved, he also 
   sent him to them last, saying, 'They will respect my son.' {7} 
   "But those vinedressers said among themselves, 'This is the 
   heir. Come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours.' 
   {8} "So they took him and killed him and cast him out of the 
   vineyard. {9} "Therefore what will the owner of the vineyard 
   do? He will come and destroy the vinedressers, and give the 
   vineyard to others. {10} "Have you not even read this 
   Scripture: 'The stone which the builders rejected Has become 
   the chief cornerstone. {11} This was the Lord's doing, And it 
   is marvelous in our eyes'?" {12} And they sought to lay hands 
   on Him, but feared the multitude, for they knew He had spoken 
   the parable against them. So they left Him and went away. 

   Mark 14:61-62    But He kept silent and answered nothing. Again 
   the high priest asked Him, saying to Him, "Are You the Christ, 
   the Son of the Blessed?" {62} Jesus said, "I am. And you will 
   see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and 
   coming with the clouds of heaven." 

   Mark 16:19    So then, after the Lord had spoken to them, He 
   was received up into heaven, and sat down at the right hand of 
   God.

  JESUS EXISTED WITH THE FATHER FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME

   John 17:5    "And now, O Father, glorify Me together with 
   Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world 
   was. 

   John 17:24    "Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me 
   may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which 
   You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of 
   the world. 

   John 8:23    And He said to them, "You are from beneath; I am 
   from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. 

   John 8:58    Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, 
   before Abraham was, I AM." 

   Luke 10:18    And He said to them, "I saw Satan fall like 
   lightning from heaven. 

   John 1:1-18    In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was 
   with God, and the Word was God. {2} He was in the beginning 
   with God. {3} All things were made through Him, and without Him 
   nothing was made that was made. {4} In Him was life, and the 
   life was the light of men. {5} And the light shines in the 
   darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. {6} There was 
   a man sent from God, whose name was John. {7} This man came for 
   a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all through him 
   might believe. {8} He was not that Light, but was sent to bear 
   witness of that Light. {9} That was the true Light which gives 
   light to every man coming into the world. {10} He was in the 
   world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did 
   not know Him. {11} He came to His own, and His own did not 
   receive Him. {12} But as many as received Him, to them He gave 
   the right to become children of God, to those who believe in 
   His name: {13} who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of 
   the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. {14} And the 
   Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, 
   the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace 
   and truth. {15} John bore witness of Him and cried out, saying, 
   "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me is 
   preferred before me, for He was before me.' " {16} And of His 
   fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. {17} For 
   the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came 
   through Jesus Christ. {18} No one has seen God at any time. The 
   only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has 
   declared Him. 

   Col 1:16-17    For by Him all things were created that are in 
   heaven and in earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or 
   dominions or principalities or powers.  All things were created 
   through Him and for Him. {17} And He is before all things, and 
   in Him all things consist.

   Matthew 28:17-18    When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but 
   some doubted. {18} And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, 
   "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 

   Matthew 11:27    All things have been delivered to Me by My 
   Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does 
   anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the 
   Son wills to reveal Him. 

   Hebrews 1:1-3   God who at various times and in various ways 
   spoke to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days 
   spoken to us by His Son, whom he has appointed heir of all 
   things, through whom also He made the worlds; who being the
   brightness of his glory and the express image of his person,
   and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had
   by Himself purged our sins sat down on the right hand of the 
   Majesty on high.

  IT IS JESUS WHO WILL BE THE JUDGE ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT

   John 5:21-23    "For as the Father raises the dead and gives 
   life to them, even so the Son gives life to whom He will. {22} 
   "For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment 
   to the Son, {23} "that all should honor the Son just as they 
   honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor 
   the Father who sent Him. 

   John 5:26-27    "For as the Father has life in Himself, so He 
   has granted the Son to have life in Himself, {27} "and has 
   given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the 
   Son of Man. 

   Matthew 7:21-23    "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' 
   shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of 
   My Father in heaven. {22} "Many will say to Me in that day, 
   'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out 
   demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?' {23} 
   "And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart 
   from Me, you who practice lawlessness!' 

   Matthew 16:27    "For the Son of Man will come in the glory of 
   His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each 
   according to his works. 

   Matthew 25:31-46    "When the Son of Man comes in His glory, 
   and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the 
   throne of His glory. {32} "All the nations will be gathered 
   before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a 
   shepherd divides his sheep from the goats. {33} "And He will 
   set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 
   {34} "Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, 
   you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you 
   from the foundation of the world: {35} 'for I was hungry and 
   you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a 
   stranger and you took Me in; {36} 'I was naked and you clothed 
   Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came 
   to Me.' {37} "Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, 
   'Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and 
   give You drink? {38} 'When did we see You a stranger and take 
   You in, or naked and clothe You? {39} 'Or when did we see You 
   sick, or in prison, and come to You?' {40} "And the King will 
   answer and say to them, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as 
   you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it 
   to Me.' {41} "Then He will also say to those on the left hand, 
   'Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared 
   for the devil and his angels: {42} 'for I was hungry and you 
   gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; {43} 
   'I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did 
   not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.' 
   {44} "Then they also will answer Him, saying, 'Lord, when did 
   we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or 
   in prison, and did not minister to You?' {45} "Then He will 
   answer them, saying, 'Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you 
   did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it 
   to Me.' {46} "And these will go away into everlasting 
   punishment, but the righteous into eternal life." 

   2 Corinthians 5:10   For we must all appear before the judgment 
   seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in 
   the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

  JESUS WAS THE PHYSICAL REALIZATION OF GOD
 ________________________________________________________________
 ________________________________________________________________


Jesus was the physical realization of God. He was God, in human form, 
come down to earth. Jesus repeatedly emphasized that he did exactly 
as God wanted, and only as God wanted; that he was absolutely and 
completely obedient to God's intent and wishes. Jesus was God in
human flesh walking on this earth. He had the mind, values and 
outlook of God. Do you want to know what the creator of the universe 
is really like? Do you want to know what sort of being he really is, 
what his likes and dislikes are, what his outlooks, attitudes and 
values are on various topics? Do you want to know how he thinks? 
Then you need only look at Jesus. Study Jesus, his teachings and 
his conduct. Study the gospels and note His words and His actions. 
Study the epistles. In the epistles you will find the set of outlooks, 
attitudes and values that Jesus passed to his disciples. There you 
will find how God thinks and feels about things.  If you will study 
Jesus, his words and example, you will find the Most High God, creator 
of this great universe, to be a humble, meek, kind, peaceful, 
self-sacrificing being who cares about people; a being who loves 
integrity, virtue, moral purity and goodness and hates pride, 
arrogance, deceitfulness, immorality, sin.

John 1:18   No one has seen God at any time.  The only begotten Son, 
who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

John 14:8 Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is 
sufficient for us.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, 
and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the 
Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe 
that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak 
to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in 
Me does the works. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father 
in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Jesus declared God on this earth.
