"Bridging the world to God through the gospel of Jesus Christ"

2 • Lesson Six

I. God the Son
The ministry of God the Son, as we have seen in previous lessons, is distinct from that of the other two Persons of the Trinity. The Bible gives much more information about His Person than about the Father and the Holy Ghost combined. In fact, Jesus Christ is the Hero of the entire Bible. The Bible records the history of His Story.

The Old Testament records the history of opportunities given to man and his failure to use them properly. It establishes the need for a Savior to rescue man from his own follies and redeem him back to God. The New Testament chronicles the advent of that Savior and shows us how to obtain that redemption based solely on the merits of the Savior.

A. The second Person of the Trinity

Matthew 28:19; 1 John 5:7

B. The God-Man

John 1:34; Matthew 16:13–16; 1 Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 4:14–15

“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” (Hebrews 1:8).

1. Physical Son of God–conceived of the Holy Ghost
Matthew 1:18–21; Luke 1:34–35

2. Son of man–born of a woman
Matthew 1:24–25; Luke 2:4–7

C. Creator of the physical universe
John 1:1–4, 9–11, 14; Hebrews 1:1–2

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Colossians 1:16–17).
