Son of God

This week is the Son of God Series beginning January 12th.  This page will link all of the posts together instead of posts coming up daily:

Adam, son of God
"... Adam, the son of God."
God has two sons and one daughter that are unique among humanity. He has a son and a daughter that were not born, they were created by God Himself! (See Genesis 1 and 2). We are all sons of Adam and daughters of Eve, as the children in the Chronicles of Narnia were referred to; because we all descend from them. We have an inheritance of being made in God's image, after His likeness, with incredible potential and opportunity. Yet, all of this was marred with sin.  Read More
 
Jesus, Son of the Most High
"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."

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. Read More
 
Jesus, Son of Abraham
"The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ,
the Son of David, the Son of Abraham."
Abraham is the father of righteousness through faith. Even though, he was 100 years old and Sarah was 90, he believed God could keep His promise. For nothing is impossible with God. What is the significance of Jesus being the Son of Abraham? Read More

Jesus, Son of David
"The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham."

In Luke 1:31-33, Gabriel told Mary,
"... you will conceive... and bring forth a Son and shall call His name Jesus. 
He will be... called Son of the Most High; 
and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His Father David...
and of His Kingdom there will be no end."
This fulfills a promise made to King David in 2Samuel 7:11-14. David was dwelling in his beautiful house of cedar and decided to build a house for the Arc of God. He told this to Nathan the prophet who then said to do all that was in his heart for the Lord. But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan saying,  Read More

Jesus, Son of God
"... who was, who is and who is to come, the Almighty."
With this Son of God series we looked at Jesus as the Son of the Promise. God made promises to His people of one to come as a deliverer and a Savior. These promises were made through the ages spanning from Adam and Eve, to Abraham and to King David of the coming of Christ. Where is Jesus now? What is yet to come? Read More

Sunday, January 18th we will begin in Matthew 3 with the ministry of John the Baptist, followed by the early ministry of Jesus and move into the beatitudes.
