2.The Jewish people never imagined that the Messiah would be God. Moses declared, “The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear.” (Deuteronomy 18:15)
And God did not contradict Moses, He said, “I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.” (v. 18)
When Jesus asked Peter who he believed Jesus was, “Simon Peter answered and said, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’” (Matthew 16:16). And Jesus did not reprove Peter saying “No, you’ve got it wrong. I’m God the Son.” No, he said, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 16:17).
Finally, after the resurrection and ascension of Christ, this is what Peter preached about Christ: “Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—” (Acts 2:22). Jesus is a “Man” through whom God did wonders and signs. Read also Acts 10:38. God was with Jesus, but Jesus, the Messiah, was not and is not God.
I’ve recently written up my top 10 list of reasons as well. So far, 2 for 2 with the shema being as well my #1
They had eyes to see, but could not see; they had ears to hear, but could not hear……… Thanks be to the One God who opens the eyes and the ears of those who see and hear, and believe. To him will Christ say, “enter and I will give you rest.”
