Thoughts

Hebrews provides a brief but powerful description of who Jesus is: prophet, creator, glory and image of God, sustainer of this world, the perfect sacrifice and redeemer for sin, superior to the angels, and seated at the right hand of God.

Throughout scripture Jesus made claims that He is God.

Jesus during His earthly ministry combined miracles with His teaching to provide validity or proof that He is God the Redeemer.
