00:00: In today's video I'll answer your question, what does it mean that Jesus is the
00:05: Son of God? Then afterwards, as always, I'll share some helpful resources, so stick around until the end.
00:19: Jesus is not God's Son in the sense of a human father and son. God did not get married and have a son.
00:27: God did not meet with Mary and together with her produce a son. Jesus is
00:32: God's Son in the sense that He is God made manifest in human form. Jesus is
00:38: God's Son in that He was conceived in Mary by the Holy Spirit. Luke 1 verse 35 declares, "...the
00:45: angel answered, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
00:52: So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God." During His trial before the
00:59: Jewish leaders, the high priest demanded of Jesus, "...I charge you, under oath, by the living
01:05: God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God." Matthew 26 verse 63 "...Yes,
01:13: it is as you say," Jesus replied, "...but I say to all of you, in the future you will see the
01:19: Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
01:25: Matthew 26 verse 64 The Jewish leaders responded by accusing
01:30: Jesus of blasphemy. Later, before Pontius Pilate, the Jews insisted, "...we
01:36: have a law, and according to that law he must die, because he claimed to be the
01:41: Son of God." John 19 verse 7 Why would
01:47: His claiming to be the Son of God be considered blasphemy and be worthy of a death sentence?
01:53: The Jewish leaders understood exactly what Jesus meant by the phrase, "...Son of God." To be the
01:59: Son of God is to be of the same nature as God. The Son of God is of God.
02:06: The claim to be of the same nature as God—to, in fact, be God—was blasphemy to the
02:12: Jewish leaders. Therefore, they demanded Jesus' death, in keeping with Leviticus 24 verse 15.
02:18: Hebrews 1 verse 3 expresses this very clearly. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of His being.
02:29: Another example can be found in John 17 verse 12, where Judas is described as the son of perdition.
02:38: John 6 verse 71 tells us that Judas was the son of Simon. What does
02:43: John 17 verse 12 mean by describing Judas as the son of perdition?
02:48: The word perdition means destruction, ruin, waste. Judas was not the literal son of ruin, destruction, and waste, but those things were the identity of Judas' life.
02:59: Judas was a manifestation of perdition. In this same way, Jesus is the
03:05: Son of God. The Son of God is God. Jesus is God made manifest.
