God the Son
-
Jesus is the Son in terms of His human nature; He is God in terms of His divine nature. This duality does not divide His person but shows His unity in two natures.
-
Titus 2:13 speaks of the “appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus,” affirming His deity.
-
1 John 5:20 declares Jesus as the true God and eternal life.
-
John 20:28 where Thomas calls Jesus, “My Lord and my God!”
-
John 1:1,14 identifies Jesus as the Word, who was God and became flesh.
-
Mark 2:5-10 where Jesus forgives sins, a prerogative of God alone, leading to accusations of blasphemy.
I like the sense of this verse, revealing our heavenly Father’s heart: “They will reverence my son!
Centuries have come and gone by, and people now indeed reverence Jesus, for it has never been as important what any person might think about what Jesus did on the cross, as what God Almighty thinks about it!
The Bible attributes 256 names to Jesus, a reflection of His multifaceted nature that transcends any single label or understanding. As Billy Sunday once noted in his sermon “Wonderful,” this multitude of names signifies Jesus’ infinite and inexpressible essence.
God Almighty, accepted Jesus shed blood as an acceptable offering for our sins!
We are forgiven, redeemed, adopted, provided access to His Holy presence, only through that blood!
Mary, was Jesus earthly mother, but she was a virgin when she conceived Jesus, for the mystery of the ages is summed up in who Jesus Father was: the holy seed that impregnated Mary, the Word that became flesh and dwelt amongst us. Jesus, God the Son.
How can He be both the Son of God, and God the Son? I Liked the way this theologian put it: https://carm.org/how-can-jesus-be-both-god-and-son-of-god
He is no mere prophet, nor great moral teacher, He is the great I AM, the one who was, and is, and is to come, God the Son.
Here are a couple verses to build your faith in this truth:
Titus 2:13 looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus
1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ This is the true God and eternal life
John 20:28 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
John 1:1,14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth
Mark 2:5-10 And Jesus seeing their faith said to the paralytic, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak that way? He is blaspheming; who can forgive sins but God alone?”
So, will you accept what He did for you today, and receive Him as Lord, and King of your life?
There is no other way to heaven, no other mediator that God accepts on your behalf, no religious work that can justify you before a holy God, only Jesus…
The eternal question that only you can answer is: Will you have this man as your King and Lord?
If so, pray this, and see His power:
‘Jesus, I receive you as God, the Son! I accept your love, your rule, your kingdom, and your power into my life. Now, Amen!”
