Jesus, the Son of the Most High

Reading: Luke 1:31,32, Romans 5:12-21 , 1-11

"You will be with child and give birth to a son,
and you are to give Him the name of Jesus.
He will be great and
will be called the Son of the Most High."
Luke 1:31,32

God's only begotten Son, Jesus was not created, He has always been with God, even before creation, as we can see in John 1: 1,2. He humbled Himself to leave the realm of glory with the Father to become human. He was begotten by the Holy Spirit in Mary, a human being. He lived a perfect sinless life, and died a terrible death to once and for all pay for the penalty of man's sin; so humanity could once again be reconciled to God. Lets read Romans 5:12-21 to see the contrast of the two son's of God.

"Therefore, as through one man's offense
judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation,
even so through one Man's righteous act
the free gift came to all men,
resulting in justification of life."
Romans 5:18

Judgment: accusation, condemnation,damnation, justice
Justified:A legal term meaning to acquit, to declare righteous.(Just as though I never sinned.)

Praise God for His amazing free gift to us through the promise of Jesus! Thank You Jesus for what You suffered and what You have done for us! We can transition from judgment to justification through faith in Christ!!!

Now read verses 1-11 of chapter 5 and see the hope we have in Christ and how God demonstrates His love for us.

"Rejoice in hope of the glory of God."

"But God demonstrates His own love for us
in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:2, 8

This week we will also look at Jesus as a son of Abraham, son of David and more on the Son of God. He is the Son of the Promise.
