Original Sermon
Jesus and His Attributes Divine and Human - James Dolezal
https://youtu.be/VtBf-0GLfPI

Is Jesus God? What can we know by looking at the Bible? James Dolezal answers this question.

📌 Main Theme: Jesus is True God

The speaker presents a biblical and theological case that Jesus Christ is fully and truly God, worthy of divine worship, possessing divine attributes, and doing the work of God—creation, redemption, and receiving worship.

🧠 Key Points:

1. Isaiah 9:6 – Eternal Father?

The Messiah (Jesus) is called “Eternal Father”, which can seem confusing.
This does not mean the Son is the Father (which would support modalism, a heresy denying the Trinity).
Instead, “Father” here refers to Christ as creator or covenant head, roles that can be described with paternal language, not as a denial of the Trinity.
2. Malachi 3:1 – The Lord Will Come to His Temple

The “God of justice” is said to come suddenly to his temple.
This refers to Jesus, showing that the coming Messiah is God himself.
3. The New Testament’s Clear Testimony

John 1:1–3 – Jesus (the Word) is God and the creator of all things, placing him on the divine side of the Creator/creature divide.
1 John 5:20 – Jesus is identified as “the true God and eternal life.”
Romans 9:5 – Christ is called “God over all, blessed forever.”
Titus 2:13 – “Our great God and Savior Jesus Christ” (the shared Greek article shows both titles refer to Jesus).
Philippians 2:6 – Jesus existed in the form of God, indicating full divine nature.
Hebrews 1:8–12 – The Father calls the Son “God,” and applies Psalm 102 (which speaks of God's unchanging nature) directly to Jesus, proving his immutability (a divine attribute).
4. Jesus as Creator

John 1:3, Colossians 1:16 – Jesus created all things, visible and invisible.
He is not a creature, but Creator, working with the Father and the Spirit in the act of creation.
5. Jesus Receives Worship

Jesus teaches: “Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only” (Matt 4:10).
And yet, throughout the Gospels, Jesus himself receives worship:
From the Magi as a child.
From many others as an adult—and he never rebukes them.
In Revelation 5 and 22, Jesus (the Lamb) receives the same worship as God the Father.
Even holy angels, who reject worship directed at themselves (Rev 19, 22), do not object when Jesus is worshiped—affirming his true deity.
6. Conclusion: The Creator Became Redeemer

The God who created all things is the one who came in Christ to re-create and redeem.
A medieval theologian is quoted: “Who better to fix what is broken than the one who made it?”
Jesus, the one who made mankind, becomes the upright man who saves fallen humanity.
✅ Final Thought:

The full witness of Scripture—Old Testament prophecy, New Testament declaration, divine attributes, creative power, and the reception of worship—unmistakably reveals Jesus Christ as true God, the eternal Son, worthy of all honor and glory.
