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,

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.
