5 Things Jesus Did to Convince Others He Was God

1. Positioned Himself as a servant

Matthew 20:28 "even as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many"

2. Jesus functioned as a Shepherd

John 10:10-14"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. I am the good shepherd. the good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep."

3. Jesus related as a friend

John 15:5 "I am the vine and you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing"

Lazarus "Jesus Wept" John 11:35 He wants us to see how he loves us

4. Jesus attracted sinners

Matthew 9:9-13 "As Jesus passed by there He saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and He said to him, "Follow me". And he rose and followed Him.", "Those who are well have no need for a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice. For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."

Jesus was comfortable with sinners and they were comfortable with Him. We must offer grace and mercy. Zacchaeus (Luke 19:10)

5. Jesus spoke with authority

Luke 4:31-32 "and they were astonished at His teaching for His word possessed authority"
