Did Jesus Claim to Be God?

August 20, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - C. S. Lewis, Christology, Deity of Christ, divinity of Christ

Why should you believe that Jesus can give you eternal life? Who has that kind of power and authority? In his essay, “What Are We to Make of Jesus Christ?,” C. S. Lewis noted some of the curious things Jesus said that made people wonder about His real identity. For example, Lewis paraphrases what Jesus

Our conference was originally scheduled for May 18-21. We moved it back five months due to Covid-19. The attendance was down. Normally we have around 200. We had 115 the first three days and 100 on day four. In the coronavirus new normal, that was surprisingly good attendance. Between 30 and 60 people watched the

Eternal Life Is Christocentric

July 14, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Christ, christocentric, Christology, eternal life

Free Grace theology should be thoroughly Christocentric, not least of all because eternal life itself is entirely Christocentric. What I mean is, eternal life is centered around Jesus. By contrast, how many religions are man-centered, works-centered, Mary-centered, saints-centered, money-centered, or even cult-leader-centered? But eternal life is about Jesus. How so? You are called to believe

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Cor 15:3-4). In the last blog, I explored some of the OT verses that

According to the Scriptures (1 Cor 15:3-4), Part 1

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Cor 15:3-4). Have you ever wondered what Scriptures Paul was referring to? Some have

Jesus Defines What is Good (Luke 18:22)

May 15, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Christology

Did Jesus claim to be God? In a previous blog, I looked at Jesus’ conversation with the rich young ruler, and I suggested that the Lord was trying to get the young man to think more deeply about His identity. The Lord wanted the young man to reason to the conclusion that Jesus was not

Did Jesus Claim to Be God? Walking on Water (Mark 6:45-51)

May 11, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Christology, Deity of Christ

Did Jesus claim to be God? And in the Synoptic Gospels did He claim to be God? In John’s Gospel Jesus’ deity is much more unambiguous and more explicit than in the Synoptics, and some academics have even claimed that in Matthew, Mark, or Luke, Jesus never claimed to be God. Is that true? In

Did Jesus Claim to Be God? Calming the Storm (Mark 4; Psalm 107)

May 7, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Christology, deity

Did Jesus claim to be God? Consider the episode when Jesus stilled the storm: On the same day, when evening had come, He said to them, “Let us cross over to the other side.” Now when they had left the multitude, they took Him along in the boat as He was. And other little boats

The Classical Understanding of Christ (Christology, Part 2)

September 26, 2019 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Christology, systematic theology

Who is Jesus? What kind of a man is He? Was He a man at all? Why can He give believers eternal life? Christology is the branch of theology that studies questions about the person and work of Christ. As you can imagine, hundreds of books have been written to answer those questions. Where can
