God’s Son

“A Son” (Isaiah 9:6).

“The Son” (1 John 4:14).

“The Son of God” (Galatians 2:20).

“The Son of the Father” (2 John 3).

“HisSon” (1 John 1:3).

“His only begotten Son” (John 3:16).

“His dear Son” (Colossians 1:13).

What a wonderful and glorious theme we have in the person of the SON! So often we are occupied with what the Son of God means to us, and I trust He means everything to our hearts. But it is a grand meditation to consider what the Son means to the heart of God His Father. At His baptism on the banks of the Jordan River, we read, “And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from Heaven, which said, Thou art My beloved Son; in Thee I am well pleased” (Luke 3:22). This was God’s commendation concerning His delight and joy in His Son. Later, on the Mount of Transfiguration, God the Father gives another confirmation of His pleasure and approval. “And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is My beloved Son: hear Him” (Luke 9:35).
