Jesus: The Son of God (Part 2)
The truth about Jesus.
The Biblical view of Jesus.
The godly claimed that He was the Son of God:
The Father said so: Mt 3:17, Mt 17:5.
John the Baptist said so: Jn 1:29-34.
The Apostles said so: Mt 16:13-16, Acts 9:18-20.
b. The ungodly knew He claimed to be the Son of God:
The Devil knew it and called on Him to prove it: Mt 4:3-7.
The Demons knew and confessed it: Mt 8:28-29.
The Jews condemned Him for it: Jn 19:7.
c. His claim was validated by what He did:
His works proved it: Mt 14:32-33.
His death proved it: Mt 27:54.
His resurrection proved it: Rom 1:3-4.
B. Religious errors:
2. The Muslim view of Jesus.
They affirm the virgin birth, miracles, that God was with Jesus, that He ascended to Heaven, and that He will return as a judge.
They deny that Jesus died on the cross, that He rose from the dead, and that He is the Son of God.
3. The Jewish view of Jesus.
They affirm that Jesus was a historical man who walked the earth.
They deny the virgin birth, miracles, that God was with Jesus, that He ascended into Heaven, that He will return as a judge, and that He is the Son of God.
4. The Hindu view of Jesus.
They affirm that Jesus was a historical man, believing Him to be an “avatar” (manifestation of the divine on Earth); they view Him as one of their 300 million “gods.”
They deny that there is only one God, that Jesus’ death atoned for sin, that Jesus is the only way to salvation, and that He is the only begotten Son of God.
5. The Buddhist view of Jesus.
They affirm that Jesus was an enlightened teacher and “a son of God.”
They deny that there is a single creator God, defining God as a reality or as truth itself; they therefore deny that Jesus was God’s literal Son in the flesh.
C. Why do we need to study about Jesus’ Sonship?
It is a vital part of the Gospel message: Acts 9:20
We must believe and confess it: Acts 8:37.
We must believe in the Son in order to have life: 1 Jn 5:9-13.
