A previous blog post dealt with some moral issues Jesus didn’t mention directly. This one looks at a theological issue – why didn’t He say, “I am God”?

Why didn't He say something?
Sometimes
silence says a lot, and other times people read too much into it.
I have met challenges on four areas to do with Jesus' supposed failure to speak. Three of them are moral issues, which we will look at now, and one is theological, which we will look at in a later blog post.

The Trinity - it matters more than you think
Some people dismiss it as an invention of the church, while others ignore it as a point of doctrine that theologians in ivory towers talk about because they have nothing useful to do.
But the truth of the Trinity is more important and relevant than you could imagine.

The Way
Before
Christianity was called Christianity, it was called “The Way” (Acts 9:2; 19:9,
23; 22:4; 24:14, 22). The reason for this is they were believers in the one who
said, “I am the way” (John 14:6). Maybe you are feeling lost in life. Let’s
think how Jesus is the way.

Is God hiding?
“If
God exists, why is He so secretive about it? Why not make it more obvious?”
The
hiddenness of God is an argument that many atheists find compelling, but when
we think about the evidence I think we will find that it certainly isn’t God is
who is hiding.

What the protests profess
Many
cities across the United States and around the world have been filled with
people protesting following the tragic death of George Floyd. The shocking
video of his last moments has sent a jolt through the human consciousness, bringing
out our innate awareness of a couple of huge realities.
