Bible Note: Hi Hancock, I haven't heard from you since last year, (o: The Bible speaks of Jesus in every Book. But here are just a few examples that prove Jesus is God. Matthew introduces Jesus with a quotation from Isaiah 7:14: “Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and his name shall be called Emmanuel” (which means, God with us) (Matt. 1:23). Mark continues, “Who can forgive sins but God alone?” Jesus not only by forgave the paraplegic, but implanted life to his dead limbs!

And being found in human form he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, even death on a cross. . Let's not forget Isaiah, Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts; “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god.” (Isaiah 44:6) But in Revelation 22 Jesus uses these titles for Himself: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end” (v. 13).
