Jesus Christ the Son of God.

Jesus Christ the Son of God

John  19:6 When the chief priests therefore and officers saw him, they cried out, saying, Crucify him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him: for I find no fault in him.  19:7 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God.

The leaders of the Jews hated Jesus Christ our Lord with passion, because, He called Himself the Son of God.

But then why  were they  offended that Jesus called Himself the Son of God. 

Listen to the following scriptures.

John  5:18 Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.

That is the meaning of Son of God, that Jesus is God and equal to God.

God the Father Himself call Jesus God.

Hebrews  1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.  1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

The blessed Holy Spirit made us to understand that Jesus is God and  equal to God.

Philippians  2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:  2:6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Let’s come back to the Jews again on their anger against Jesus been Son of God.

John  8:57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?  8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.  8:59 Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by.

John  10:30 I and my Father are one.  10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.  10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?  10:33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.  Do you hear that,  that was the reason for their hatred against Him.

Matthew  26:63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest answered and said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.  26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.  26:65 Then the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy.  26:66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.

Matthew  27:39 And they that passed by reviled him, wagging their heads,  27:40 And saying, Thou that destroyest the temple, and buildest it in three days, save thyself. If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross.  27:41 Likewise also the chief priests mocking him, with the scribes and elders, said,  27:42 He saved others; himself he cannot save. If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him.  27:43 He trusted in God; let him deliver him now, if he will have him: for he said, I am the Son of God.

But, beloved Brethren, in deed, our Lord was Son of God.  Listen to the following scriptures.

satan and the totality of his demons knows that our Lord Jesus Christ is the Son of God.

Matthew  16:13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?  16:14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.  16:15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?  16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.  16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.  16:18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.  16:19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Matthew  8:28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.  8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

Mark  5:2 And when he was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,  5:3 Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:  5:4 Because that he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him.  5:5 And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones.  5:6 But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him,  5:7 And cried with a loud voice, and said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not.  5:8 For he said unto him, Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.

Luke  4:40 Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.  4:41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.

Listen to His apostles.

Matthew  14:27 But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.  14:28 And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.  14:29 And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.  14:30 But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.  14:31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?  14:32 And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.  14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.

John  1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!  1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.  1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.

John  6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?  6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.  6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

John  20:30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:  20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

And they cast him out.  9:35 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God?  9:36 He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him?  9:37 And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.  9:38 And he said, Lord, I believe.

And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.  7:15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.  7:16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.  7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
