Let’s study the whole Bible. Link the testaments!

A common objection to the Biblical belief in Jesus’ deity is that neither Jesus nor the NT writers (other than Paul in Titus 2:13) came right out and said “Jesus is God”

They didn’t need to. There are many times when Jesus did things which the OT writers knew only God could do. The NT writers made the connection.  We must, too, dig deeper and make the connections. 

Here’s one:

“They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;

    their courage melted away in their evil plight;

they reeled and staggered like drunken men

    and were at their wits' end.

Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

    and he delivered them from their distress.

👉🏻He made the storm be still👈🏻

 and 👉🏻the waves of the sea were hushed👈🏻

Then they were glad that the waters were quiet,

    and he brought them to their desired haven” Ps 107:26-30

Then go to:

“A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, 👉🏻”Quiet! Be still!”👈🏻Then 👈🏻the wind died down and it was completely calm👈🏻. He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”

They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!” Mark 4:37-41

Who do the wind and waves obey?   

The One who created them and is the Lord of all creation. 

The OT is a gold mine. We can see the Son all throughout it. Let’s dig in and have fun exploring God’s word. - John Gacinski
