John
10:35-36 – If he
called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot
be set aside—what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me
of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’?
Jeremiah 1:5 – “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you
apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
Application:
- · Jesus testified to the complete authority and reliability of the Old Testament.
- · Jesus is making an argument from the lesser to the greater: If there is any sense in which humans can be spoken of as “gods”, how much more may the term be used of Him whom the Father set apart and sent!
- · “I set you apart” means I consecrated you.
