Jesus Son of God
Part I
We believe by faith that Jesus is Son of God and this is
the ultimate foundation of Christianity and Catholic faith. This faith is the
gift of our Lord through His mercy which poured upon us. Gabriel the Angel of
God came to Mother Mary and proclaims the mystery, the birth of Jesus. ‘But
the angel of God said to her ‘Mary, do not be afraid; you have won God’s
favour. Look! You are to conceive in you womb and bear a son, and you must name
him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of Most High.’ Lk.1: 31-32. Heavenly
Father himself proclaims about Jesus; He is the Son of God. ‘And
the Holy Spirit descended on him like in a physical form, like a dove. And a
voice came from heaven, “you are my Son; today have I fathered you.” Lk. 3: 22. How can
anybody neglect this factor simply? Through him only the salvation comes. This
makes us separate us from the other religions and other sects. Jesus
is the stone which rejected by many because to observe the salvation not a mere
thing to understand. The Holy Spirit should reveal the mysteries those whom
chosen by Jesus. “This
is stone which you builders, rejected but which has become the cornerstone.
Only in him is there salvation; for all the names in the world given to men,
this is the only one by which we can be saved.” Acts.4: 11-12. One
who seek the faith; think by faith and live by faith; it will lead him to
salvation. This also a gift from God and we cannot question Him for anything
How God made known to whole humanity is only through His
beloved Son. We have no ability to see God through our naked eyes. He brought
His only begotten Son to reveal himself ‘No one has ever
seen God; It is only His Son, who is close to the Father’s heart, who has made
him known. Jon. 1:18.
He is the Son of the living God. He is only Son of God. It
is the faith which proclaimed by St. Peter when Jesus asked His disciples ‘But
you,’ he said, ‘who do you say I am?’ Then Simon Peter spoke up and said, ‘You
are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’ Matt.16: 16. This
is the mystery and the ultimate truth that Jesus is man and God. St Peter was
just a fisher man and unlearned; by receiving the wisdom of God he proclaimed the
truth which is hidden from the learned and the wise. Jesus himself said that “Simon son of Jonah, you are a blessed man!
Because, no human agency that revealed this to you; but my Father in heaven”. Matt 16: 17. Heavenly
Father will reveal the secret mysteries of Jesus and His Kingdom. It was God’s
plan that His Godly and earthly nature is to make His flocks to understand the
nature of God. This was Heavenly Fathers’ plan to save His own children from
the destruction and save their souls. We have to accept Jesus as our Lord and
God, and then we feel the difference.
“But to those who did accept him
he gave power to become the children of God, to those who believed in his
name who were born not for human stock or human desire or human will but
from God himself.” Jon. 1: 12-13.
So what is important is to
believe in His name and this makes us to born again in His Word.
“Jesus answered: “In all truth I tell you, no one
can see the kingdom of God without being born
from above.”Jon 3:3
Jesus is the One whom Isaiah proclaimed of his coming.
God gave the sign of His incarnation in the Virgin Mary: “The
God will give you a sign in any case: It is this: the young woman is with child
and will give birth to son whom she will call Immanuel.” Is. 7: 14. Who
can neglect His Words; and His word became flesh in this young unspotted virgin
girl with full of grace. God gave us the most precious gift; His only Son for
us to make us His sons and daughters and he lived in our midst to know him
closely. But when we become spiritual persons, we start seeing the things
spiritually, we experience Jesus in us and of course he will start living in
us. The more we submit to him by the way of holiness and in obedience we will
experience the presence of him all the path of our daily life. This will makes
us experience the peace and joy in our life and grow in the grace. Then the
soul will not do anything without asking her spouse and this is the way
spiritual growth she will experience. Love of God grow this way by listening
Him and obey Him. “Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my
Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make a home in him.” Jon.
14: 23. The Holy trinity will make a home in her when she keeps
His Word. The Word is Jesus, Jon. 1: 1. The faith in Son of God will gradually
grow this way and that’s what she says: “Without my
knowledge; and my imagination kept my Lord let me to sit beside Him in the
chariot” Song of Songs. 6: 12. The soul will seek only her Master’s will as
she wants to share all His goodness in Him. She will never feel lonely and
wants stay with him without any end of time.
