From the CANON on this blog:
How the worship
of Baal breaks the Ten Commandments
1.
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Tyrants do not believe in the true God. Their god is Tyranny. They cause their subjects to worship and be
dependent on them, rather than God.
From today’s devotional:
Jesus called Himself
both the Son of Man and the Son of God. The first title emphasized His
humanity; the second, His deity. He is the only person in history who was both
God and man. Leaving heaven, He laid aside His divine glory and took upon
Himself the robe of humanness (Philippians
2:6-7).
Who recognized His
divine nature?
• Angels. At Christ’s birth, the angel Gabriel told Mary that
she would bear a child and His name would be the Son of God (Luke 1:26-35).
• God the
Father. When Jesus was baptized
in the river Jordan, the heavenly Father declared, “This is My beloved Son, in
whom I am well-pleased” (Matthew 3:17).
Later, God affirmed this same truth and instructed those present listen to
Jesus (Matthew 17:5).
• Satan and
the demons. Knowing that Jesus
was God’s Son, Satan challenged Him to use His supernatural powers to bypass
God’s plan. Later in the same chapter, the demons saw Jesus and shrieked that
He was the Son of God (Luke 4:1-41).
• Disciples.
When these men saw Jesus walk on
water in the midst of the storm, they worshiped Him and concluded He was the
Son of God (Matthew
14:25-33). Peter later declared, “You are the Christ, the Son of the
living God” (Matthew 16:16).
• Martha. When Jesus brought Lazarus back to life, his sister
Martha said, “I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to
come into the world” (John 11:27
NIV).
The world needs to
understand who Jesus is. Whom can you tell about His deity?
