The Claims
The title emphasizing Jesus Christ’s deity, His office as Messiah and His pre-eminence as the object of the church’s faith and worship as the content of its gospel.
Jesus Himself affirms He is the Son of God
The Father affirms that Jesus Christ is His Son during His baptism in Matthew 3:17.
The Father also confirms it on the mount of transfiguration in Matthew 17:1-5
Peter, who was present during the transfiguration also confirms the voice they all heard in 2 Peter 1:17.
I like what Peter wrote about the transfiguration experience:
Others claimed that Jesus was the Son of God.
When Jesus walked on the water and calmed the sea, those on the ship believed and confessed that Jesus is the Son of God (Matthew 14:33)
Demons also affirm that Jesus is the Son of God in Mark 5:7.
Many preachers have said that an Atheist is “Dumber than the devil”.
It is a great truth from God’s word despite it being such a harsh statement.
It is better to warn our fellow man to their ignorance rather than to let them live and die in their ignorance without Christ.
The Critics
There has been no greater critic to Christ being the Son of God than satan himself.
What is most interesting is that satan criticizes and questions Jesus’ claims yet knows that Jesus is the Son of God.
This is satan’s tactic to sabotage the work of Christ in Matthew 4:3.
Notice that satan again attempts the same tactical maneuver on Jesus that he preformed on Eve.
He questions and twists God’s word.
During Christ’s humiliation, the elders and scribes brought Him forth to question if He was the Son of God in Luke 22:67-71.
During the crucifixion of Christ, there were mockers who brought criticism to Christ’s claims as the Son of God in Matthew 27:40 and Matthew 27:43.
The truth is that even if Christ would have come down from the cross, that would not have been sufficient enough for them to believe.
Just as Jesus had told the scribes and elders that they would not believe if He had told them, so the people also would not have believed.
The Connection
Jesus being Son of God stresses the truth of His deity.
Jesus Christ is Son of God the Father!
The Gospel of John uses the terms Father/Son many times to speak of Jesus Christ’s unique relationship with God.
Jesus being Son of God implies Jesus Christ’s equality with God in John 5:18.
John makes it clear that you cannot have one without the other.
You must have both the Father and the Son.
