Lesson 2, July 12
The Son
The Son
Key Text
Mark 10:45 NKJV
For even the Son of Man did not
come to be served, but to serve,
and to give His life a ransom for
many.
The Son
Initial Words
Each has to decide who Jesus is.
It doesnt help to repeat what other
people say or believe; the answer must
be genuinely our own personal belief.
On that answer the destiny of every
human being hangs.
We will seek the answer on the basis
of what Jesus Himself said and did.
The Son
Quick Look
1. Christs Dual Title
(Daniel 7:13, 14)
2. Christs Divine Nature
(John 5:18)
3. Christs Mission
(Matthew 20:27, 28)
The Son
1. Christs Dual Title
Daniel 7:13, 14 NKJV
And behold, One like the Son of
Man coming with the clouds of
heaven! He came to the Ancient of
Day...and to Him was given
dominion...which shall not pass away,
and His kingdom the one which shall
not be destroyed.
1. Christs Dual Title
The Son of Man
The Son of man, was Jesus favorite
designation for Himself. He referred
to Himself as Son of man more than
eighty times. Other people never
addressed Him that way.
With just one exception, it always
referred to human in the Old
Testament; thus, Jesus used it in
order to emphasize His humanity.
1. Christs Dual Title
The Son of Man
In Daniel 7:13 and 14, One like the
Son of Man came to the Ancient of
days, and received eternal dominion
and a kingdom. The Jews identified
this Son of Man with the Messiah.
So, when Jesus used this title,
He was revealing that He was also
the promised Messiah, the
incarnate Christ.
1. Christs Dual Title
The Son of God
The title Son of God was used not
only by Gabriel (Luke 1:35) but also by
several people when addressing Jesus
(Matt. 14:33, Mark 15:39,
John 1:49, 11:27).
He accepted that title but was very
careful not to apply it directly to
Himself, lest He be stoned to death.
1. Christs Dual Title
The Son of God
Because He came to live as a man,
Christ voluntarily subordinated
Himself to the Father (Phil. 2:68).
This limitation was functional but not
part of His essence. Jesus subordi-
nated Himself for a specific purpose,
a specific goal. From this point of
view, He could say: My Father is
greater than I (John 14:28, NKJV).
The Son
2. Christs Divine Nature
John 5:18 NKJV
Therefore the Jews sought all the
more to kill Him, because He not
only broke the Sabbath, but also said
that God was His Father,
making Himself equal with God.
2. Christs Divine Nature
Foundational of Our Faith
The deity of Christ is the foundation
of our faith. A human being could
never be our Savior, no matter how
extraordinary his life may have been.
His mission required Him to make
known that He was the Messiah, God
in the flesh; however, there is no
record of His saying publicly, I am God
or I am the Messiah.
2. Christs Divine Nature
Foundational of Our Faith
Had He done so, His life could have
immediately been taken. Therefore,
He chose to hint at His divine nature:
1. His creative power to restore health.
2. His divine prerogative to forgive sins.
3. His power to overcome death.
4. His assertion to preexistence.
5. His acceptance of worship.
The Son
3. Christs Mission
Matthew 20:27, 28 NKJV
And whoever desires to be first
among you, let him be your slave
just as the Son of Man did not come
to be served, but to serve,
and to give His life a ransom for
many.
3. Christs Mission
To Seek and Save
After considering who Jesus was,
we are in a better position to under-
stand what He came to do for us.
Jesus came to represent the Fathers
character and to correct the false
concept about the Godhead. He
wanted us to know God, because to
know Him is indispensable in order
to have eternal life (John 17:3).
3. Christs Mission
To Seek and Save
The Son of Man has come to seek
and to save that which was lost
(Luke 19:10, NKJV).
He reestablishes our relationship
with the Father (John 1:51);
He forgives us our sins (Matt. 26:28);
He gives us an example of how to
live (1 Pet. 2:21); and, of course
He gives us eternal life (John 3:16).
3. Christs Mission
Patriarchs and Prophets 63
The broken law of God demanded the
life of the sinner. In all the universe
there was but one who could, in behalf
of man, satisfy its claims. Since the
divine law is as sacred as God Himself,
only one equal with God could make
atonement for its transgression.
None but Christ could redeem fallen
man from the curse of the law....
The Son
Final Words
In Christ is life, original,
unborrowed, underived. He that
hath the Son hath life. 1 John 5:12.
The divinity of Christ is the
believers assurance of eternal
life.The Desire of Ages 530.
