The person of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is beyond the comprehension of the human mind. He Himself said, “No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal Him” (Matt. 11:27²⁷All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. (Matthew 11:27)). The Son has revealed the Father, but no man knows the Son. His person is a divine mystery.

He was David’s Son as born in Bethlehem, but He was at the same time David’s Lord in the glory of His person (Matt. 22:41-46⁴¹While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, ⁴²Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David. ⁴³He saith unto them, How then doth David in spirit call him Lord, saying, ⁴⁴The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? ⁴⁵If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? ⁴⁶And no man was able to answer him a word, neither durst any man from that day forth ask him any more questions. (Matthew 22:41‑46)). Though equal with God, He took the place of a servant (Phil. 2:67). “In Him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Col. 2:9⁹For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. (Colossians 2:9)). He is addressed by the Father as God. “Unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever” (Heb. 1:8⁸But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (Hebrews 1:8)).
