Is Jesus God? Yes.

There are many who will say that they believe in Jesus but will describe Him only as a great teacher. One among many. However, the Bible makes it clear.

Matthew 1:20 - 23 and John 1:1 and 14 are but a few of the many Scripture passages that tell of His deity.

Background:
Joseph had just discovered that his betrothed, Mary, was pregnant. He knew he had never been intimate with her and it seemed that she had broken the laws that they both had grown up with. He was a righteous man and not vindictive, so he planned to end the betrothal quietly so as not to expose her to public disgrace.

Matthew 20
An angel appeared to Joseph in a dream to tell him that he shouldn't worry about marrying Mary and that the baby was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Matthew 21
Mary would give birth to a son and they were to name Him Jesus because He would save His people from their sins.
(Jesus is the Greek form of Joshua. Joshua means 'the Lord saves.')

Matthew 22
This fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet Isaiah, which was:

Matthew 23
A virgin would give birth to a son and they will call Him Immanuel which means

"God with us."

• John 1:1
