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. 11:27). 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. 22:41-46). 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. 2:9). He is addressed by the Father as God. “Unto the Son He saith, Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever” (Heb. 1:8).
