Illustrations - Jesus As God
He has an eternal Son
A preacher once met a member of a cult who challenged his views about the deity of Christ. "You say that Jesus Christ is coequal with the eternal Father, but He cannot be, for no son is ever as old as the one who has begotten him." The minister thought for a moment and then replied, "You yourself have just called God the eternal Father. Have you ever thought that statement through? Don't you realize that God can only be the eternal Father if He has an eternal Son? If you would rethink your position in the light of the Scriptures, you would see that eternal Fatherhood demands eternal Sonship!"
See: Isa 9:6; Isa 26:4; 1 Tim 1:17
"Then that wasn't Jesus."
John MacArthur tells of a guy who went around California talking about how Jesus regularly appeared to him. One time he was telling John that Jesus had appeared to him that morning while he was shaving. John MacArthur asked, "What did you do?" He said, "I just kept on shaving." And John said, "Then that wasn't Jesus."

See: Mt 17:1-9; Ac 9:3-6; Rev 1:12-16.
Jesus Christ was more than a man.
Napoleon summed up the admiration of the ages for Jesus Christ:
"Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I myself have founded great empires
.... But Jesus alone founded His empire upon love, and to this very day, millions
would die for Him. Jesus Christ was more than a man."
