“My Lord and My God”

Yesterday we learned that Jesus said he was God and the Jewish leaders tried to stone him for it. So, what did Jesus’ closest friends and followers say about him?

Peter wrote that he was “our God and Savior.” John said he was the “Alpha and Omega” and “the first and the last,” titles that apply only to God. Jesus’ half-brother James, who was an unbeliever at first, described Jesus as “the Lord of glory.” And the Apostle Thomas called Jesus “my Lord and my God.”

These men were willing to suffer and die for proclaiming Jesus as Lord. They believed he was and is God. Why? Because he proved he was by rising from the dead.
