2024 Worship Guide LINCOLN DAILY NEWS December 2024 Page 11 Yet, He was also fully God – all wise and all powerful. So how can both be true? I don’t know. But the Bible clearly teaches that it is so. In some ways, Jesus voluntarily suspended the full use of His divine attributes. He didn’t give up being God, but He did willingly set aside the use of the privileges and powers that were His as God. He chose to subjugate His will to His Father’s will. Through all that He remained fully God. For nearly two thousand years, debate has been raging about who Jesus really is. Cults and skeptics have offered various explanations. They will say He is one of many gods, a created being, a prophet, and so on. The common thread of all such theories is that they make Jesus less than God. Jesus’ works are convincing proof that He is God. He began His miraculous ministry with a simple act – He created wine at a wedding in Cana (John 2:1-11). Only God can create. He healed people who were hopelessly ill. He gave sight to the blind (Matthew 9:27-31). He opened ears that had never heard (Mark 7:3127). He created enough fish and bread to feed thousands (Mark 6:48-52). He raised the dead by simply commanding them to come forth from the grave (John 11:38-44). 217-732-8141 401 Delavan St., Lincoln 217-648-2001 202 NW Vine St., Atlanta
