The Son of God
John 20:30-31
And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:…


God has many sons. The children of Israel were called His sons, the judges of the theocracy and angelic existences; but Christ is called the Son of God in a unique sense. He was unique —

I. IN HIS AGE. He was "from everlasting," "in the beginning with God," "the First-born."

II. IN HIS CONSTITUTION He was God in a human personality — God-Man. God is in all intelligences, in all creatures; but He was in Christ in a sense in which He is in no other, giving omnipotence to His arm, omniscience to His intellect, ubiquity to His presence.

III. IN HIS MISSION. He is the Mediator between God and man; the only Saviour. "There is none other name," &c.

(D. Thomas, D. D.).
