- “Abraham” – The promise to Abraham that he and his seed (not seeds) would be a father – Rom 4; Gal 3:16

- “God was in Christ”
- 2 Cor 5:19; 1 Pet 5:10
- as Moses was in the basket
- “Immanuel” – Is 7:14; 8:8 (also tie both to Is 9:6)
- One
- There is one God – Jas 2:19; Mal 2:10
- There is one Lord – Jn 17:3; Dt 6:4
- “Son”

- and YHWH is God – Dt 4:35, 39; Josh 22:34; 24:18; 1 Kgs 18:36, 39; 2 Chr 33:13; Ps 18:31; 100:3; 118:27; Is 25:1; 43:10-13; 45:5, 21-22; Jer 10:10; Zech 13:9
- and YHWH is Father –
- YHWH is the Father – Is 63:16; 64:8
- YHWH is a father – Is 1:2; Mal 1:6
- YHWH is as a father – Dt 1:31; Ps 103:13; Pr 3:11-12
- YHWH is God and Father – Dt 32:3-6; Hos 1:9-11
- How Jesus was treated on earth
- Consider that Jesus was worshiped…and did not refuse it – Mt 2:2, 8, 11; 14:33; 28:9, 17; Lk 17:15-16; Jn 9:38
- Consider that “No one can forgive sins but God alone” – Mk 2:7; Lk 5:21
- The parable of the vineyard that Jesus told (Mt 21:33-41; Mk 12:1-11; Lk 20:9-18) in which the son is called the heir and is distinguished from all who came before him
- Jesus speaks to individuals as “son” (Mt 9:2), “daughter” (Mt 9:22), and to a group as “children” (Jn 21:5). Jesus doing this sort of thing hints that the fullness of His deity would one day be revealed.
