Jesus, The Son of God
There are some who claim that Jesus was a good man whose moral teachings are worthy of discipleship, despite denying His claims to be God’s Son.
There is no logical reason for this. Jesus did not merely teach (as any other rabbi), He claimed to be the Messiah. As such, if His claims are not so, it can’t be said that He was a good man, worthy of being followed. In fact, only two possibilities emerge. If Jesus is not God, the Son, He is either self-deluded, or a charlatan.
Consider the occasion related in Matthew 15:21-28. A Gentile woman, knowing the prophecies concerning the Messiah, referred to Jesus as “Son of David” (vs. 22). This was a title that many of the Jews refused to give Him, despite all of miracles Jesus did which attested to His claims. Further, the woman, “came and worshiped Him” (25).
The apostles of the Lord, when efforts to worship them occurred, quickly demurred (cf. Acts 10:25-26). “Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men with the same nature as you…” (Acts 14:15).
And yet, Jesus accepted the worship. This clearly reveals a man who believed Himself to be the anointed of God.
Jesus is worthy of our discipleship, not because He is a good man, but because He is God’s son!
