If this is a question you're interested, here is a series of questions I have posed based on Old Testament and New Testament Scripture. Hyperlinks are included (English Standard Version) for quick reference. Enjoy the exercise and let me know what you think.
--
WAS THE LOGOS ETERNALLY PREEXISTENT?
From where in time has Christ come? Micah 5:2
In what way is Christ a father, and how is He eternally so? Isaiah 9:6
What beginning is implied here? Did the Word exist before or after the beginning? Who is the Maker? Was the Word made? John 1:1-3; Colossians 1:16-17; John 17:5
Why did John use this verb tense? John 8:58
DOES SCRIPTURE IDENTIFY CHRIST AS GOD?
What does Immanuel mean? Isaiah 7:14 (see footnote)
If the OT affirms that God is One, what does that make Jesus? Isaiah 9:6, 10:21
In Greek, if there is an article (a, an, the) before the first noun in a series but not before the second, then the second is considered to be the same as the first. What does this mean if the Greek in Titus 2:13-14 literally reads “. . . of the great God and Savior of us Jesus Christ . . .”? See also 2 Peter 1:1.
Does Jesus claim to be the same person as the Father? John 10:30
Whose Church is Paul encouraging the Ephesians to watch over? Acts 20:28
What was Thomas’ response to seeing Jesus? John 20:27-29
How does Hebrews make the connection between Christ and OT Scripture? Hebrews 1:8
WHAT DOES IT MEAN THAT JESUS IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA?
What is the title for Almighty God? Revelation 1:8
What other name is given for the Alpha and Omega? 21:5-7
What is the full title given to God here? And what will He be doing soon? 22:12-13
Who is revealed to be speaking? 22:16
To whom does the author of Revelation respond as the soon coming one? 22:20
What does it mean to call Jesus the First and the Last? 1:17-18; Isaiah 44:6, 48:12-16
Who is Jesus... Really?

"I Am With You"
Go up to the mountain
Gather all you need
Come rebuild my temple
So that all can see
I am with you. I will cause you to succeed
Always with you, I will show you my glory
Leave you paneled houses
Touch no unclean thing
I will shake the heavens
Destroy your enemies
I am with you. I will take you as my own
Always with you, and my house will be your home
Why, in the land of milk and honey,
Do we work so hard for nothing?
We are people of the promise,
Yet a drought is upon us.
Woe, we’ve been toiling in our name,
In our own strength, and to our shame,
We have left God’s house in ruin
We have failed to worship Him
I am with you. I have chosen you today
Always with you, so take courage in my strength
