1. Some religions teach Jesus is not a Divine Being.
He was the first thing God created
He was a good man…good teacher
But He was not the Son of God
Jesus claimed differently.

2. And He was saying to them, “You are from below, I am from above; you are of this world, I am not of this world.
I said therefore to you, that you shall die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you shall die in your sins.”
John 8:23-24

3. Jesus answered, “If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, ‘He is our God;’ and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I shall be a liar like you, but I do know Him, and keep His word.
Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad.”

4. The Jews therefore said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am.”
John 8:54-58
