And I say to you, anyone who acknowledges me before others, the Son of Man will also acknowledge him before the angels of God,
Luke 12:8
By referring to the presence of the angels of God Jesus is clearly saying He has the authority to recognize someone in the court of God. Only God has the authority to do this.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Son! You are holy and just, and yet have justified us by Christ. Thank You! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
