Day 16 – Beloved Son
Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Good morning, reader! Today’s name for Jesus is quite interesting. Some religions consider Jesus to be a created being and not God at all. However, they are misinterpreting the reason why He was named this. Jesus is called the Son of God because He was conceived (through Mary) by the power of the Holy Spirit. Today’s verse reveals the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as the Trinity. This announced Jesus starting His ministry. Notice the similarity in:
Psa 2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
Mar 1:11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
All the Gospels mention this event and as you can imagine it was probably astonishing to the disciples who actually witnessed this. (Can you imagine hearing God speak from the heavens?) This event reveals to us not only the Trinity but the wonderful act of selflessness that Jesus would become human so that He could be the first of those to be “born-again.” His death, burial and resurrection are a depiction of our own death to sin, buried in baptism and resurrected as a new creation in Him!
2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
Amen and Amen! We are a new creation because of the Beloved Son’s work on the cross!!
