All Things Spiritual-Jesus is God-Part 1

The Bible teaches that Jesus is both fully God and fully human, as firmly established in Scripture. Isaiah 9:6 and Matthew 1:22-23 are powerful proofs that Jesus is God. Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would be called Immanuel, meaning God with us. Jesus was described as both a branch out of Jesse (the father of David) and as the root of Jesse. He was both a descendant (branch) of Jesse and David, but according to His Spirit, He was their Creator and source of life (root). Jesus applied this concept to Himself, and His ministry produced all of these things. Isaiah 35:4-6 shows that Jesus is God, and when He comes, the eyes of the blind would be opened, the ears of the deaf would be unstopped, the lame would leap, and the tongue of the dumb would speak. John the Baptist fulfilled this prophecy when he prepared the way for Jesus, demonstrating that Jesus is the LORD and our God.
