Arise Daily Devotional Pastor Wisdom Wednesday 18th, February. JESUS IS GOD ALONE Why does this Man talk like this? He is blaspheming! Who can forgive sins [remove guilt, remit the penalty, and bestow righteousness instead] except God alone? Mark 2 : 7 It was clear to the people of Israel and their Pharisees that only God has the power to forgive sin. And so it was awkward and blasphemous to them to hear and see Jesus forgive a man’s sin. What can we see from here? It reveals to us that Jesus should be God because only God can forgive sin. This is the hidden nature of Christ in the bible. He was the Word who was God from the beginning, therefore his earthly nature cannot deny him being God. If you have come to Christ then you must accept him as God, your only God. His invisible nature was the Father. Prayer: My sins are forgiven by the only one who has the power to forgive sins. The liberty of the Father is what shall continue to enjoy all the days of my life. Further study: And great and important and weighty, we confess, is the hidden truth (the mystic secret) of godliness. He [God] was made visible in human flesh, justified and vindicated in the [Holy] Spirit, was seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, [and] taken up in glory. 1 Timothy 3 : 16
