Jesus Son of God

 

Part XV

“Yes, if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins.”

  Even evil recognises Jesus is the Son of God. They shouted, ‘What do you want with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torture us before time?'Mt 8: 29. Satan is afraid of Jesus, they are asking him, why he came to destroy them. What the satan said about before time was, the sacrifice of Jesus in Calvary. That is the time Christ will crush the head of satan. 'Catching sight of Jesus from a distance, he ran up and fell at his feet 7 and shouted at the top of his voice, ‘What do you want with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? In God's name do not torture me!'Mk 5: 6-7. Evil fall at Jesus' feet and pleads to him, 'You are Son of God' not to destroy them. We should not be in shame to proclaim Jesus is Son of God.

   Jesus says if we do not believe that Jesus is God we will die in our sins. I have already told you. You will die in your sins. “Yes, if you do not believe that I am He, you will die in your sins. Jn 8: 24” Here Jesus reveals himself about himself and Hevenely Father is One God. What Jesus said is very important : I Am He. In the Old Testament, God told Moses in Exodus 3:13–14 (NJB) “The God of your ancestors has sent me to you, and they say to me, “What is his name?” what am I to tell them?' 14 God said to Moses, ‘I am He who is.” The same name 'I am He' which God has revealed to Moses. Heavenly Father wanted Jesus to be called " Son of God. “For this, God raised him high, and gave him the name above all other names; 10, so that all beings in heavens, on earth and in the underworld, should bend their knees in the name of Jesus 11 and that every tongue should acknowledge Jesus Christ as Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Ph 2: 9-11. God wants Jesus to be called, Lord, because all beings in heaven, on earth and in the underworld, to bend their knees in front of His Son.

Part XIV 

When we love God, we will keep His commandments

When we love God, we will keep His commandments and give us the Paraclete, the Spirit of Truth, Jon. 14: 15-16. The Holy Spirit will guide us to the truth. He wants us to be his children by giving an example of Jesus Christ. ‘He decided beforehand who the ones were destined to mould to the pattern of his Son, so that he should be the eldest of many brothers.' Rm. 8: 29. God decided and planned everything from the beginning about who would be His children. Who can judge Him and His power? he is the only source of everything good? Everything is moulded in His love and mercy and without love, emptiness comes and the devil can enter easily into our minds and hearts. He chose us in Jesus, His Son before the world was made, ‘Thus He chose us in Christ before the world was made to be holy and faultless before Him in love, marking us out for himself before hand, to adopted sons through Jesus Christ.' Eph.1:3-4.

  As the Eunuch was reading the Scriptures from the book of Isaiah, chapter Fifty Three, he did not understand the meaning of the Scriptures and God's Spirit guided Apostle Philip to meet the Eunuch who was travelling in a chariot. ‘Do you understand what you are reading? He replied, ‘How could I, unless someone to guide me?'Acts 8.30-31. We need somebody to guide us in our spiritual life. A spiritual father must guide us to the truth. He was explaining the passage written about Jesus to Eunuch: ‘Addressed Philip and said, ‘Tell me, is the prophet referring to himself or someone else?' (Acts. 8:32-35) When Philip explained the gospel of Jesus to the Eunuch and about salvation, his doubt vanished and he believed in Jesus and took baptism from Philip. Luke 10:22 (NJB) : Everything has been entrusted to me by my Father; and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him’
