This is Jesus.

"He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of His power." Hebrews 1:3

This is Jesus.

Acknowledge Him as God or don't acknowledge Him at all.

At Jesus' trial, the high priest commanded Him, "I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." (Matthew 26:63)

Jesus response: "You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven." (Matthew 26:64)

If you want to label him a prophet or a good teacher, please search through the Bible first. Jesus would rather you dismiss Him than identify him as something He is not and never claimed to be. If you don't trust the Bible, do your research before you toss it in the trash as poor evidence (I would recommend Ben Stuart's message, "Has the Bible Been Corrupted?" which you can get by subscribing to the Breakaway Ministries podcast through iTunes).

If you already call Him "Lord," then take time to consider His deity today. He was man, but He is also fully God. He upholds the universe. And yet, He also bore the weight of our sin on His shoulders. This should humble us. He is not a sweet little Jesus we pray to. He is God. He is Savior. Let's give Him the praise and adoration He deserves.
