Jesus the Christ 38
Here, Jesus is described as being "with God" at the Creation and the stated belief that Jesus "was God." Thomas said it in a different way in his personal acclamation, "My Lord and my God!"1 Christian leaders today being politically correct would rarely think of addressing Jesus as "God" in the face of other world faiths for whom Jesus is just a prophet, if that. Paul urges the elders of the church at Ephesus, "Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood." 2 We too are encouraged to look after the disciples of Jesus who are committed to our care.
Saint Paul uses a very interesting phrase in Romans concerning Jesus. In stating that Jesus is "God over all" he also adds new meaning to the phrase "made in the image of God" which is used of humankind. Paul writes, "Theirs are the patriarchs, and from them is traced the human ancestry of Christ, who is God over all, forever praised! Amen."3 "Christ who is God overall" is a lovely and complete description of the deity of our Savior.
