All Subject To God!
Simon Peter answered and said,
“You are the Christ, the Son of
the living God.”
Matthew 16: 16
In the Jewish faith, boys
and girls participate in
the coming of age ceremony called bar mitzvah
(for boys at age thirteen) or bat mitzvah (for girls
at age twelve).
These Hebrew phrases translate as “son of
[or daughter of]
commandment.” In rabbinic
terms, the phrases refer to “one who is
subject to the law.”
What
does “Son of God” mean? It means one who
is subject to God. The phrase “Son of God” refers
45 times to Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
The term is the fulfillment of the words of Psalm
2:7: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You.”
God Himself is referred to as “Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ” (Romans 15:6), signifying the filial
relationship between Christ and the Father. The
Gospel of John emphasizes the deity of Christ
as the Son of God.
Jesus is the Son of Man and Son of God.
Thank Him today for being subject to the
Father in all things in a way we can
never
be.
"The Son of God became the Son of
Man in order that the
sons of men
might become the sons of God."
