3. JESUS CHRIST: TRUE GOD AND TRUE MAN (b)

The Bible speaks a lot about Jesus Christ’s divine Sonship even before he came as a baby into our world 2,000 years ago. Here are two powerful examples.

The first we find in Colossians 1,16-17: “Christ is the one through whom God created everything in heaven and earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see ... Everything has been created through him and for him. He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together.”

The second example we find in Hebrews 1,2-3: “Now in these final days, he (i.e. God) has spoken to us through his Son. ... through the Son he made the universe and everything in it. The Son reflects God's own glory, and everything about him represents God exactly. He sustains the universe by the mighty power of his command.”

Yet, the Bible does not only testify that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, but also that he is the Son of Man. What that second title means, we will see next time.

All Bible verses are quoted from the ‘New Living Translation’.
