5.
SON:
The
Son is represented as God. This truth will be discussed more fully under the
doctrine of the Trinity. Suffice it here to say that the title Son does not simply
refer to His humanity. True, He is the Son of Man, and this title associates Him
dispensationally with Israel and the coming Kingdom, but He is also the eternal
Son of God. If God is the eternal Father there must of necessity be an eternal
relationship of Son. Sonship and begetting, as they refer to Christ, sometimes
have reference to His eternal generation and Sonship (John17:1 cf. v. 5), sometimes to His generation and Sonship as a man (Matthew 1:1, 21), and sometimes to His resurrection
from among the dead (Acts 13:33; Colossians 1:18).
