Jesus is the Father

1.Who raised Jesus from the dead? John 2:19-22 says Jesus; Romans 6:4 says the Father.

2.Who answers prayer? John 14:14 says Jesus; John 15:16 says the Father.

3.Who has the drawing power? John 12:32 says Jesus; John 6:44 says the Father.

4.Who is the Alpha and Omega? Revelation 1:8 says Jesus; Revelation 21:6-7 says the Father.

5.Who is the coming One? John 14:3 says Jesus; I John 3:1-2 says the Father.


You don't think that two persons raised Jesus from the dead, that two persons answer prayer, that two persons draw us to God, that two persons are the Alpha and Omega, and that two persons are coming do you?



Jesus claimed that He was the resurrection, the answerer of prayer, the drawing power, the Alpha and Omega, and the coming One. Did He claim too much? No, Jesus is the Father.


1. Jesus is a Father to His children (Hebrews 2:13; John 1:12-13).

4. Jesus is the Father to overcomers (Revelation 21:7).

5. Jesus is the Father of creation (John 1:3).

6. Jesus is the Father to Israel, “his people” (Matthew 1:21).

7. Jesus is the Father of lights (James 1:17; John 9:5).

8. Jesus is the Father of spirits (Hebrews 12:9; John 1:3). If we deny the Fatherhood of Jesus, then we deny that He is God for “there is but one God, the Father” (I Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; John 4:21-24).



The Oneness doctrine upholds biblical Christianity in at least three ways: (1) It restores biblical terms and patterns of thought on the subject of the Godhead, clearly establishing New Testament Christianity as the spiritual heir to Old Testament Judaism; (2) It affirms the absolute deity of Jesus Christ, revealing His true identity; and (3) It places biblical emphasis on the name of Jesus, making the power of His name available to the believer.
