You Being a Man, Makes Yourself God

The Jews on countless number of times would accuse Jesus of blasphemy; we know Mary your mother and Joseph the carpenter who is your father but you won’t stop hoax that God is your father. They had great difficult times with Jesus, but Jesus will not have Himself intimidated by any. He continues to declare who He is; the Son of God. The Jews won’t stop their accusation of blasphemy but Jesus would as well never give up declaring who He was. You need no ones’ approval to defend your identity, if you fail to defend it you lose it.
It is ones’ responsibility to understand who he/she is and stand on that without allowing anyone or people negotiate him/her away from that. You lose your person and identity the moment you allow people talk you away from who you are. Real success begins with identity. It takes a knowledge of who you are, to maintain your stand otherwise once the pressure comes it pushes you to who you are not. The best of you is only possible standing on who you are. Jesus has this knowledge and is fully persuaded of that and so could whether all the pressure to back down.
Jesus said He is the Son of God, this contradicted the knowledge the Jews has about Him, they know Him as the son of Joseph the carpenter, they also know His siblings and could not understand why this confused man lay claim to God being His Father. Also the Jews have an understanding of the implication of son-ship; if they accept Jesus to be the son of God, then they are in effect saying that He is God.
The deity of Christ is the real contention; the Jews will rather have Jesus stoned to death than to accept the truth of Him being the Son of God. The miracles of Jesus were approved by them but not His deity. Your good works we can accept but you making yourself equal to God we will never tolerate by any standard. The equality of father and son is what the Jews know too well. Whoever you are a son to, you equals to; so son of God is God, son of man is man, and son of lion is lion. It is a natural law that nothing invalidates; so whose son are you?
