Topic > The Gospel of John Christ: The Deity of Christ

Christ said, “Now, Father, bring me into the glory that we shared before the world began.” The key point here is shared glory; Christ spoke the glory we shared. Looking at Isaiah 42:8 God said, “I am the LORD; that's my name! I will not give my glory to anyone else, nor will I share my praise with graven idols.” When Christ claimed to share the glory with God, he was declaring that he was with God and that he was God. This harks back to the first verses of John when he says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God ” (John 1:1). Considering everything covered in the Gospel of John, from the divinity of Christ to his salvation for the world, there are a couple of questions that need to be answered. One might be “What is the meaning of Jesus walking on water?” The second question would be “Why did Jesus turn water into wine?” Was this symbolic or was it just further evidence of Christ's greatness
