Equal to God

Morning: Psalm 45; Genesis 15:1-11, 17-21; Hebrews 9:1-14
Evening: Psalms 47, 48; John 5:1-18

Those who oppose Jesus’s healings and teachings are angry because of what they see as his blasphemy - “making himself equal to God.” But Jesus does not count equality with God as something to be exploited (see Philippians 2). Why would he if, as the New Testament affirms, Jesus is already God in human flesh? There is no need to make yourself what you already are. Someone has said: If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus. Even if you don’t believe in God, looking at Jesus won’t do you any harm.
