April 2017
“Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of
the Son of God and those who hear will live.”(John 5:25).
Jesusisnot God’sSon inthe sense of a humanfatherand a son. We know that God didnot getmarried
and have a son.JesusisGod’s Sonin the sense thatHe isGod made manifestinhumanform.“TheWord
became fleshand made hisdwellingamong us.We have seen his glory,the gloryof the one and only
Son,who came from the Father, full of grace andtruth.” (John1:14). JesusisGod's Sonin that He was
conceivedinMary bythe Holy Spirit. We can readthisin Luke 1:35, “The angel answered, “The Holy
Spiritwill come onyou, andthe power ofthe Most Highwill overshadowyou. So the holyone to be
born will be called theSon of God.”
The term "sonof God" occurs more than 40 timesinthe New Testament.We can learnfromsome of
these versesasfollows:
1. JesusChrististhe Son of God: We can learnfrom Matthew 26:63, “But Jesus remainedsilent.
The highpriest saidto him,“I charge youunder oath by the living God:Tell us ifyou are the
Messiah,the Son ofGod.” Mark 1:1, “The beginningofthe goodnews aboutJesus the
Messiah,the Son ofGod” John20:31, “But these are written that youmay believe that Jesusis
the Messiah,the Son of God,andthat by believingyou mayhave life inhis name.” Heb. 4:14,
“Therefore, sincewe have a great highpriest who hasascended intoheaven, Jesus the Son of
God,let us holdfirmlyto the faithwe profess.
2. Uncleanspiritswouldfall downbefore Jesusandsay,“Youare the Sonof God,” We can learn
thisfromMark 3:11, “Whenever the impure spiritssaw him,they fell down before himand
cried out, “Youare the Son of God.”
3. We can learnfrom Luke 1:35, “The angel answered, “The HolySpirit will come on you,and the
power of the Most High will overshadowyou.So the holy one to be born will be calledthe Son
of God.”
4. The Gospel teachesusas toldby Jesus:“Very truly I tell you,a time is comingandhas now
come when the dead will hear the voice ofthe Sonof Godand thosewho hear will live.” (John
5:25).
5. We can learnthat Paul hadfaithin the Sonof God as statedin Galatians 2:20, “I have been
crucifiedwith Christand I no longerlive, butChrist livesin me. The lifeI now live inthe body,I
live by faithinthe Sonof God,who lovedme andgave himselffor me.”
6. We can understandthatthe Son of God has no beginningorend:“Withoutfatheror mother,
withoutgenealogy,withoutbeginningofdays or end of life,resemblingthe Son ofGod,he
remainsa priest forever.” (Hebrews 7:3).
7. We can learnthat the scripturestell usthatthe Son of God appearedto destroythe worksof
the devil:“The one whodoes what is sinful isof the devil,because the devil hasbeen sinning
from the beginning.The reasonthe Sonof Godappeared was to destroy the devil’swork.”(1
John3:8).
8. We can alsolearnthat believinginthe Sonof God sothat you mayhave eternal life:“Iwrite
these thingsto you who believe inthe name ofthe Sonof Godso that you mayknow that you
have eternal life.” (1 John5:13).
We can see thatthe term ‘Sonof God’ refersto the majesty,position,andpowerof Jesuswhoisholy as
statedin Luke 1:35, “The angel answered,“The Holy Spirit will come on you, andthe power ofthe
2. Most Highwill overshadowyou. So the holy one to be born will be calledthe Sonof God.” Whenwe
come across the term “Sonof God,” itdoesnot meanthat Jesusisthe literal offspringof God througha
relationship withMaryto produce Jesus. We know thatGod is spirit- John 4:24, “ Godis spirit,andhis
worshipersmust worshipin the Spiritand intruth.” We can understandthatthe spiritdoesnot have
fleshandbones andtherefore Godthe Fatherisnot the literal fatherof Jesus. Butwe can learnfroma
clearstatementthatGod made - that had been clearlyheard,bymany whowere presentatJesus’
baptismbyJohnthe Baptist. The Bible states:“Andavoice fromheaven said,“Thisis my Son,whom I
love; withhim I am well pleased.”(Matthew3:17).
Secondlywe canalsolearn from John3:16, “For Godso lovedthe world that he gave his one andonly
Son,that whoever believesin himshall not perishbut have eternal life.” He sentHisson as the atoning
sacrifice tosave humanityfrometernal destruction. He diedforoursalvationandthus availedusthe
possibilityof spendinganeternity withHim.He availedeternallife becauseHe hasno beginningorend
as statedin Hebrews 7:3,“Withoutfather or mother, without genealogy,withoutbeginningofdaysor
end of life,resemblingthe Son ofGod,he remainsa priest forever.”
Furtherto above we can readwhere the writerof Hebrewsquotesthe OldTestamentinreference to
Christand says in Hebrew1:1-5, “Inthe pastGodspoke to our ancestors throughthe prophetsat many
times andin variousways, 2
but in these last days he has spoken to us by hisSon,whom he appointed
heir of all things,andthrough whomalsohe madethe universe. 3
The Sonis the radiance ofGod’s
gloryand the exact representation of hisbeing,sustainingall thingsbyhis powerful word. After he
had providedpurificationforsins,he sat downat the righthandof the Majestyin heaven. 4
Sohe
became as much superiorto the angels asthe name he hasinherited is superiorto theirs. 5
For to
whichof the angels didGodever say, “Youare my Son;today I have become your Father”? Or again,
“I will be hisFather, and he will be my Son”?
We can alsolearnas statedin Hebrews 1-8-9, “But about the Sonhe says,“Yourthrone, O God,will last
forever and ever; a scepter of justice will be the scepter ofyour kingdom.9
Youhaveloved
righteousnessandhated wickedness;therefore God,your God,hasset youabove your companionsby
anointingyouwiththe oil of joy.” Therefore we canclearlysee that,Jesusbeingcalledthe Sonof God
meansthat He is God. Of course,thisisreflective of the Trinity,the Father,the Son,andthe HolySpirit.
So,the termSon of God meansthat JesusWAS,ISand IS TO BE. “I am the Alphaand the Omega,” says
the Lord God,“whois,and whowas, andwho is to come, the Almighty.”(Revelation1:8).
