Is Jesus Yahweh? Is He fully God and coequal with the Father? The Bible provides overwhelming evidence that Jesus is not merely a prophet or created being, but the eternal God in human flesh. 1. Jesus Bears the Name of Yahweh •John 8:58 – “Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am.” •Jesus directly claims the divine name (Exodus 3:14 – “I AM WHO I AM”). •Philippians 2:9-11 – “At the name of Jesus every knee should bow… and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” •This fulfills Isaiah 45:23, where Yahweh alone is worshiped. 2. Jesus Does What Yahweh Alone Can Do •John 1:1-3 – “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God… All things were made through Him.” •Jesus is the Creator, just as Yahweh is (Isaiah 44:24). •Colossians 1:16-17 – “By Him all things were created… and in Him all things hold together.” •Jesus sustains the universe—only God can do this. 3. Jesus Receives Worship as Yahweh •Matthew 14:33 – “Those in the boat worshiped Him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’” •John 20:28 – Thomas calls Jesus “My Lord and my God!”—and Jesus accepts it. •Revelation 5:12-14 – Jesus receives the same worship as the Father. 4. Jesus is Called Yahweh in the Old Testament •Isaiah 9:6 – “His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” •Isaiah 40:3 – “Prepare the way of the LORD (Yahweh).” Applied to Jesus in Matthew 3:3. •Zechariah 12:10 – “They will look on Me, whom they have pierced.” Fulfilled in John 19:37. 5. Jesus Shares the Throne of Yahweh •Revelation 22:1-3 – The Lamb (Jesus) and God share one throne in the New Jerusalem. •Hebrews 1:8 – “But of the Son He says, ‘Your throne, O God, is forever and ever.’” Jesus is not just the Son of God—He is Yahweh in the flesh, the eternal King, Creator, and Savior. To deny His deity is to reject the clear teaching of Scripture.
