Son of God, Listen to Him
|
Jesus as God's Son was mentioned throughout His life.
From before His birth, Mary was told by the angel Gabriel that her baby would be the Son of God:
"He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David....The angel replied, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God."" Luke 1:32, 35
Her Baby was going to be Son of God and King MESSIAH of David's line. Jesus is both God & Man - Jesus was a son of Man-- his favorite name for himself-- identifying with His humanity. At the same time He is the Son of God. All that being a son means is that that he is made of the same stuff as the Father, not that he is less than the Father. Jesus is forever a human being!
Confirmed At His baptism, God the Father from Heaven says "This is my Beloved Son!!" He was also called the Son of God by demons, and by His friend Martha and at the Cross by the Centurion.
The big take-a-way about Jesus being God's Son is the Challenge from God the Father to Listen to Him!
"Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, "This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!""
Mark 9:7 NASB
