Jesus Son of God



Part XVII

  After the baptism of Jesus by St John the Baptist, a cloud came over Jesus and Heavenly Father Himslef declared that Jesus is His own Son. And a cloud came, covering them in shadow; and from the cloud there came a voice, ‘This is my Son, the Beloved. Listen to him.’Mk. 9: 7. Heavenly Father says to us, Jesus is His Son and listen to him and obey him. Similar incident happened in Gospel of John  John 2:5 (NJB): His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ When there was no wine in the wedding in Cana Mother Mary told Jesus that, there was no wine. But Jesus was not ready for doing any miracle, he could not resist his mother. Mother Mary knew Jesus will do her request and that is why she told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you to do”Everything the prophets prophesied in Old Testament and in Psalms got fulfilled. Whatever the Father does the Son does too. To this Jesus replied: In all truth I tell you, by himself the Son can do nothing; he can do only what he sees the Father doing: and whatever the Father does the Son does too Jesus himself says whatever Father does, Son does too. He admits here he and Father is One the inseparable God in unity.  20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him everything he himself does, and he will show him even greater things than these, works that will astonish you. 21 Thus, as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so the Son gives life to anyone he chooses; 22 for the Father judges no one; he has entrusted all judgement to the Son, 23 so that all may honour the Son as they honour the Father. Whoever refuses honour to the Son refuses honour to the Father who sent him.(Jon 5: 19-23). All the authority Father gave to His son so that all may honour him, as we honour the Father. Jesus has the authority to do judgment on anyone. If anyone dishonour Jesus, dishonour the Father as well. When we honour Jesus we honour the Father Himself.
