Jesus Son of God






Part XII

  John the Baptist testified to the Son of God :John 1:31–34 (NJB): 31 I did not know him myself, and yet my purpose in coming to baptise with water was so that he might be revealed to Israel.’ 32 And John declared, ‘I saw the Spirit come down on him like a dove from heaven and rest on him. 33 I did not know him myself, but he who sent me to baptise with water had said to me, “The man on whom you see the Spirit come down and rest is the one who is to baptise with the Holy Spirit.” 34 I have seen and I testify that he is the Chosen One of God.’ John the Baptist declares Jesus is Son of God. He saw and testified that Jesus is the Son of God, the Chosen One, on whom the Spirit of God descended in the physical form of a dove. Truth cannot be revealed unless the Holy Spirit leads us into the mysteries of God. All darkness disappears when Jesus, the Light of the world and the Light of life comes and abides in our heart. Colossians 1:13–14 (NJB): Because that is what he has done. It is he who has rescued us from the ruling force of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of the Son that he loves, 14 and in him we enjoy our freedom, the forgiveness of sin. Jesus himself is the sacrifice to expiate our sins, and not only ours, but also those of the whole world. Sin has power to blind us but Jesus came to undo the works of darkness. The freedom which the Son of God gives will not be taken away as we are bound in his infinite love. Jesus is Christ and he is the head of all creation. Colossians 1:15–16 (NJB): He is the image of the unseen God, the first-born of all creation, 16 for in him were created all things in heaven and on earth: everything visible and everything invisible, thrones, ruling forces, sovereignties, powers—all things were created through him and for him. Jesus is the image of the unseen God and in him we all are created. We cannot underestimate the power of God. Everything is created in him and for him. All praise and glory belong to Him forever and ever Amen !
