Did Jesus really claim to be God? In this episode of DyerConversations, we uncover the truth behind one of Christianity’s most pivotal questions. I sit down with Dr. Mikel Del Rosario, Moody Bible Institute professor and author, to explore how Jesus’ words and actions reveal His divine authority. You will learn how historical evidence, including insights from Jesus’ enemies, supports His claims to divinity and shapes the theological meaning of the resurrection. Finally, I explain why understanding Jesus’ lordship is critical for faith and evangelism.Join us as we discuss key biblical passages, such as Mark 2 and Mark 14, and examine Jesus’ unique authority to forgive sins and judge the world. Whether you're a believer seeking deeper understanding or a skeptic exploring the historical Jesus, this conversation will challenge and inspire you.Don’t forget to subscribe for more thought-provoking discussions, and connect with me on social media to keep the conversation going!
