START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) John 10:34
Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
YOU ARE GODS? / JOHN 10:34
Jesus is not teaching that His followers are to consider themselves gods. On the contrary, those who declare themselves to be gods – or who live like they are their own gods – will fall under God’s severe judgment (Jeremiah 10:11).
- Jesus was quoting from Psalms 82:6 in reference to the judges (other leaders and rulers) who were appointed by God for specific tasks (Exodus 22:8; Deuteronomy 1:17; 2 Chronicles 19:6 where God gives His leaders and judges authority to carry out responsibilities on His behalf). How much more should Jesus be recognized as God, since He was sent by the Gather to fulfill His highest mission of spiritual justice and salvation.
- In this passage, Jesus uses the phrase “you are ‘gods’” in speaking to corrupt rulers who were biased toward ungodly people and were even cruel to children (Psalms 82:1-4). These rulers, who acted as if they were gods, would eventually suffer judgment and die (Psalms 82:7; 82:6).
- To declare oneself a god is the ultimate sin of the antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:4, 11).
