Who is the Son of God?

Bible Reading: John 1:1-14; Exodus 19:1-20; “Not that any man has seen the Father” John 6:46.

Aim: To know Who the Son of God is. If no man has seen the Father, Who did OT saints see as Jehovah?

Introduction: One of the most interesting subjects in the Bible is the Son of God.

The New Testament teaches us that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (100% God) and the Son of man (100% man). The Old Testament describes Jehovah God going out from heaven (Micah 5:2), coming down to earth (Exodus 3:8) and visiting people (Exodus 3:16) to comfort, instruct, protect and judge evil. The Son of God is the part of God that interacts with the physical universe (as a screen monitor interfaces between a hard drive and man) (Micah 5:2). The Son of God is not a sexual Son (Gk: Teknon), but a same nature Son (Gk: Huios).

I. How is the Son of God (Who became Jesus Christ) Described in the Bible?

1. The Finger of God, in miracle power. “If I with the finger of God cast out devils,” Luke 11:20; Ex 8:19

2. The Arm of Jehovah, strong in power. “to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?” Isaiah 53:1; Jo 12:38

3. The Hand of Jehovah. ‘the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?’ Job 12:9; Ezek 37:1; Prov. 21:1; Dan.5:5

4. The Face of God & the Name of God. ‘they shall see his face; his name shall be in their foreheads’Rev22:4

5. The Feet of Jehovah at His return. “his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives” Zech 14:4

6. The Lamb of God, our Saviour. ‘Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world’1: 29

7. The Word of God. “the word of the LORD came unto Abram” (Gen. 15:1). “the Word was God” Jo 1:1
“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.” John 1:14.

8. The Son of God, the full nature of God. “I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.” John 1:34
Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel. Jo1:49 They that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God. Mat 14:33 When the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God. Matthew 27:54.
Nebuchadnezzar saw the Son of God in the fire. ‘the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.’ Daniel 3:25

The angel said to her “that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”Lk. 1:35

9. Creator. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.John 1:3

10. The Image of the invisible God. Colossians1:15. Image is profile, exact representation (Gk:1504).

11. All the Fullness of the Godhead bodily. Colossians 2:9.

12. The Life giver. “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4

13. The True Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. John 1:9

14. The likeness of a man on the throne (Ezekiel 1:26) was the God of Israel (Ezekiel 10:20).

15. The One whose Goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting. Micah 5:2. The Goer out.

16. The Angel of Jehovah. Exodus 3:1-4. ‘The angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire.’

17. The Son of God appeared in the Old Testament as a man, as the Angel of Jehovah, as a fire and cloud.

18. The Fire of God. The Son of God appeared as a fire to:

i) Abraham “When the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace, and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces. In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram” Gen.15:17,18

ii) Moses “the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush” Ex 3:2

iii) Israel leaving Egypt. “The LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night.” Exodus 13:21

iv) A wall of fire to protect Israel from Pharaoh’s army. “the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians.” Exodus 14:19,20,24

v) Israel at Mt Sinai before giving them the ten commandments. Exodus 19:16-20 “mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.” (Ex 19:18).

vi) Israel on the Tabernacle. “sight of the glory of LORD was like devouring fire..” Exodus 24:9-17-18.

vii) Consuming the Burnt offering. Leviticus 9:23,24. (Numbers 16:1-3,30-35

viii) To consume 250 famous men who supported Korah, Dathan and Abiram to rebel against Moses.

ix) God promised to speak to Israel not by fire, but by Prophet Jesus Christ. Deut. 18:15-18. John 5:46.

 

Conclusion: ‘He that believeth on the Son has everlasting life: he that believes not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abides on him.’ John 3:36. The Huios appearing in OT was conceived as Jesus.

Greetings KiwiChristian,

The angel said to her “that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.”Lk. 1:35

Each one of your statements could be considered and answered. I noticed that when you quoted Luke 1:35 you cut off the start of the verse. This verse teaches that God the Father was to be the father of Jesus and Mary was to be his mother. Luke 1:35 says “therefore”, that is, because God the Father was to be Jesus’ father Jesus was also to be the Son of God. This is where I would start in any discussion of the role and status of Jesus

Luke 1:30-35 (KJV): 30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31  And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32  He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 34  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
There is One God, the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

 

Kind regards

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
