Then look at Matthew 18:20. “Where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.”
“ There am I.”
Well now, if He is a mere man, how can He be there? All these are strong passages.
Again in Matthew 28:18.
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth.”
Could He be a mere man and talk in that way?
“All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth!”
Then again in Matthew 28:20.
“Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you; and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.”
If He were mere man, how could He be with us? Yet He says, “I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world!”
Then again in Mark 2:7.
“Why doth this Man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in His Spirit that they reasoned within themselves, He said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and take up thy bed and walk?”
Some men will meet you and say, “Did not Elisha also raise the dead?”
