The Father and His Son

The golden truth of the Holy Bible is also the greatest fact of human history – – “that God gave His only Begotten Son.” Jesus Christ was an eternal person that came out of that eternal realm where He reigned with His Father and became a man. He never ceased to be God because it is impossible for God to be less than God. He did not lay aside His nature, He simply joined the two natures into one. He was a God man. The Bible calls Him “Immanuel” (God with us).

If someone argues with this, then they must understand the mystery of man. We are human and limited, but we possess a God-breathed spirit within that makes the soul eternal. We are men with a little spirit and He was Spirit with a little man. The man dominates this spirit within us and we must willingly give ourselves in surrender to please God. In Jesus Christ, the Spirit dominates the person and He willingly gave Himself to be human. Of course, it is a mystery- – the greatest of all mysteries- – but it is either true or we are lost.

Satan hates this relationship of the Father and His Son because it is his total defeat. No doubt this love of God the Father for His Son drove Satan to jealousy and was a factor of his rebellion. Jesus said, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven” (Luke 10:18). The Son of God was right there as part of the cleansing of God’s presence from that host of wicked angels and He saw them falling down to the midair in judgment. Soon, the Son of God will cast them down to the earth and, later, to the Lake of Fire.

The “Jesus Only Doctrine” is not a denial of the Father, it is the denial of the uniqueness and personhood of the Son. Satan hates the eternal Godhead that includes this Divine person of the Son, the “Only Begotten” made of woman by the power of the Holy Spirit. Satan planned an attack against Mary and Joseph, but an angel was sent by God to cover their departure for Egypt. Jesus Christ’s entire life was constantly threatened, but angels ascended and descended as His protectors. All hell could not touch Him until His Father was ready to crucify Him.

Every false religion in the world denies the Son. Any religious doctrine that denies that Jesus was Divine from eternity, right into the womb of Mary and in every moment of His life, is utterly false. Any doctrine that allows for one moment of defeat in Christ’s perfect life is contrary and damnable. Any teaching that places Jesus Christ in hell burning and tormented by the devil is a satanic lie. When the Savior of men said, “It is finished” (John 19:30), the Divine blood had wrought its perfect work of salvation. His trip to hell was in perfect victory over death, hell, and the grave. After that victory was finished down below, He arose the victor of all the dark domain.

The Father by the Spirit called Him, “The Lily of the Valley” and “The Bright and Morning star.” (Song of Solomon 2:1, Revelation 22:16) “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9). We will soon learn this unique and greatest of all names at the great resurrection of His saints. He is the “Rose of Sharon” and the “Bread of Life.” He is “altogether lovely.” Every time the devil or one of his imps shows up shove this great truth of our Christ in their face. No wonder Satan is utterly defeated when we declare in faith, “In Jesus Name.”
