LESSON 1:
Is Jesus the eternal Son of God?
Or was He born as Such in Bethlehem of Judea
two thousand years ago?
To answer that question, we must begin with
the Bible Doctrine of the Trinity.
God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy
Spirit are One!
Yet God expresses Himself in a triune
(three-fold) Manner!
Three in Persons ... One in Essence ... is
our God!
Much like the sun, 93,000,000 miles away,
exists as a giant sphere of helium and a diffuser of life
giving heat and a source of violent solar wind, Our God
is triune yet One!
The radiation of the sun is no less real or
no less "sun" that the helium that produces it ... or the warmth
floods into the universe!
Which is water?
The liquid H20 in your glass at
lunch or the steam coming from the boiling pot on the stove or
the ice in the freezer?
All are water, pure water!
Yet each performs certain God given tasks!
The Father in Heaven is God!
The Son Jesus is God too!
And the Holy Spirit is no less God than the
Father or the Son!
If you do not agree with this doctrinal
assessment you are technically NOT a Christian!
Christianity attests a Triune God!
Now what if one could Biblically prove that
God the Father is eternal?
Or God the Spirit is eternal?
Would that not also mandate that God the Son
("equal" with God says Philippians 2:6) be eternal too?
Yes, of course!
And ... God the Father is eternal! So
declares Psalm 90:2. "Before the
mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the
earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou
art God."
Amen!
So is God the Holy Spirit eternal as well!
Read and notice the highlighted words:
"How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through
the eternal Spirit
offered himself without spot to God, purge your
conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
Hebrews 9:14
He is eternal!
So ... then ... must be God the Son!
The Trinity is One in Essence!
We can surely believe what the Bible says
about Christ Jesus in Colossians 1:17.
"And He is before all things."
I rest my case!
Christ Jesus is The eternal Son of God!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 2:
Perhaps it's a strange verse to use, but
Hebrews 1:3 I believe teaches the eternal Sonship of Christ.
It says of Jesus ...
"Who being the brightness of His (the Father's) glory,
and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by
the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins,
sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high."
Here we are plainly told that Jesus is, among
other things, the "express image" of God the
Father!
The Greek noun used there is "karakter!"
Anglicize that and you have "character!"
Jesus reveals to us the very "character" of
God!
Of course ... Jesus IS God!
Now in Paul's day the word "karakter" defined
a little instrument or tool used to carve or engrave or stamp a
certain mark on something!
It was the direct and perfect duplicate of
its original!
This can perhaps best be described by
likening the "karakter" to a rubber stamp one might purchase
today down at the office supply store.
One formulates and designs exactly what he or
she wants on that stamp ... and once it is built and inspected
... an EXACT IMAGE of the original can be transferred onto a
sheet of paper or a box-top or whatever!
Jesus is That!
He is the EXACT IMAGE of our Almighty God, of
our Father in Heaven!
Now, this can not simply be Jesus as the
exact physical image of God the Father!
No!
God the Father is Spirit! Jesus said so
in John 4:24. "God is a
Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in
spirit and in truth."
God the Father is invisible says Paul!
Colossians 1:15 teaches us about Jesus ...
"Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every
creature."
Then ... if Jesus is NOT simply the Image of
God corporally or physically, how is He the Image of His Father?
In Essence!
In Quality!
In Character!
In His attributes!
God is Holy ... Jesus personifies that
Holiness!
Could I hear an "Amen" please?
God is Love ... so Jesus explicates that Love
... on an old rugged Cross!
Then, not having time to list all God's major
attributes, I'll quickly go on to say ...
God is eternal!
From everlasting to everlasting!
"Before the mountains
were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the
world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art
God." Psalm 90:2
And since Jesus is the very karakter of God
... since He is the express image of God ... since He is the
exact essence of God ...
Jesus is eternal also!
No, Jesus did not become the Son of God at
Bethlehem of Judea some 2,000 years ago.
He is God's Son eternally!
No wonder we are told of Him:
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to
day, and for ever." Hebrews 13:8
How could men have ever doubted this?
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 3:
Maybe this verse does not conclusively prove
the eternal Sonship of Christ, but I'd like to mention it
anyway.
If it doesn't prove it, it nearly does!
Psalm 2 is a precious Psalm whose central
focus is the darling Son of God! Jesus IS the Key to
interpreting this chapter of Scripture.
The Psalm has been labeled "Messianic" for
centuries.
For example, it mentions the Lord's
"Anointed." Read with me verse 2:
"The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and
against his anointed."
Then it calls Jesus "the King!" In
Verse 6 God roars: "Yet have I set
my king upon my holy hill of Zion."
Next Jesus is called "God's Son!"
Listen: "I will declare the decree:
the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day
have I begotten thee." (Psalm 2:7) This is a
"begetting" that far preceded Bethlehem of Judea and that young
virgin's womb! It is an eternal generation!
Lastly Jesus is "the Lord!" See Verse
11. "Serve the LORD with fear, and
rejoice with trembling." Pretty clear!
Jesus is here the very Anointed One of God,
the Messiah ... and the King ... and the Son ... and the Lord
too!
Then comes that great last Verse, a classic:
"Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye
perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a
little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in
him." Psalm 2:12
See it?
"Kiss the Son!"
Love Him!
Adore Him!
Worship Him!
The "kiss" verb here, "nashaq" in Hebrew, is
derived from a "root" word that means "to catch on fire!"
Fervently and warmly ... love the Lord Jesus!
And when was this "kiss the Son" command
given?
David, under Holy Spirit inspiration, wrote
Psalm 2. And David lived 1,000 years before the physical
birth of Jesus as a baby!
Yes, our Lord was the SON of God, deserving
of love and adoration, long before the shepherds heard those
angels or the wise men journeyed to Bethlehem!
And if this conclusively proves that He is
3,000 years old ... which it does ... surely He must be eternal!
After all, Jesus the Messiah is God!
And if He is God ... He is eternal!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 4:
The "Word" of God is another of Jesus' great
Names! Some also designate it as a Title of our Lord.
He is the living Word of God!
Now the liberals and modernists and Bible
haters tell us that this Greek term "logos" (or "Word) is
something John "picked up" from heathen literature!
Fromthe cultic religions of his day!
No!
No!
We are here studying the inspired Word of
God!
And it is "without error."
John 1:1, speaking of Jesus as God the Son
says: "In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
Again, the technical noun "logos" or "Word"
is a designation for God the Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
For anyone who has been confused by some
false religion or some liberal textbook ... let me try to prove
to you that Jesus is The Word.
The Book of Revelation, describing the second
coming of Jesus to earth, identifies Him as One ...
"clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
and his name is called The Word of God." Revelation
19:13
Jesus' Name is ... The "Word" of God!
Jesus is The Logos!
Then back to John 1:1, Jesus ... as the
"Word" of God ... was "in the beginning!"
The Text does not say the Word was "from" the
beginning!
That would have implied an origin, a
beginning point for the Son of God!
No!
God the Son was "in the beginning!"
At the beginning of all things ... the "Word"
was right there in the very middle of it ... already existing
eternally!
The notice ... "in the beginning WAS the
Word!"
The verb here has the "imperfect" sense of
time in the Greek language. That explicitly means that the
"Word" existed already in the beginning and has continued to
exist ever since!
God the Son is eternal!
Next God the Son was "with" God!
The preposition "pros" used here can
literally mean "face-to-face!"
God the Father and God the Son are favorably
disposed "One to Another!"
But ... not only is God the Son "in the
beginning."
And not only is He as The "Word" face-to-face
"with" the Father!
He also is ... God!
Listen to John 1:1 again:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the
Word was with God, and the Word was God."
This again proves to me both the deity of
Jesus Christ the Son of God and the eternal nature of His Being!
Glory to God!
"The Word WAS God!"
The verb here is again an imperfect "tense."
As far back as John can go in thought or
imagination ... Jesus existed as the Word of God, the Son of
God! And our Lord has continued to exist in that Capacity
ever since!
What amazing theology a verb's simple "sense
of time" can deliver!
Proof: God the Son is eternal.
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 5:
If there's any one verse of Scripture that
dogmatically helps to prove the Doctrine of the eternal Sonship
of Christ, it's John 17:5, spoken during the Lord's longest
recorded prayer of all!
There Jesus said: "And
now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the
glory which I had with thee before the world was."
What a request!
"Father," prays Jesus, please display upon Me
Thy Son that Glory which I enjoyed "before the world was!"
Now if God the Son possessed the very Glory,
the very Essence, the very Character, the very Nature of God the
Father ... before the world was ever created, one may safety
deduct that He possesses eternal Glory!
And everlasting Glory, that is ... the
perpetual Glory of God the Father, being inherent in God the Son
also ... proves His eternality!
If Jesus was enveloped in God's Glory prior
to the creation of earth ... He is consequently the eternal Son
of God!
If He had God's Glory eternally ... and that
Glory is in reality the sum of God's Essence ... then Jesus
forever has the Love and Righteousness and Justice and
Omniscience and Omni-presence and Omnipotence and Immutability
and Veracity of God also!
Jesus, then ... of necessity ... is the Son
of God for all eternity!
Be sure of this. His prayer has now
been answered!
"And now, O Father,
glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had
with thee before the world was."
Amen!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 6:
The verse for today is found in Psalm 45.
It is a "Messianic" Psalm, meaning that it prophesies certain
truths about the coming Lord Jesus Christ.
In it the Father and the Son are actually
talking to One Another!
It is written about the King!
"My heart is inditing a good matter: I
speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my
tongue is the pen of a ready writer." Psalm
45: 1
Now truthfully no earthly human King can
fulfill all these conditions! Christ the King is in view.
Listen to verse 2 where the Father says to
the Son: "Thou art fairer than the
children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God
hath blessed thee for ever."
I say, "Amen."
And in what appears to be an exhortation
spoken to our Lord just before His return to earth, the Father
says: "Gird thy sword upon thy
thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.
And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and
meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall
teach thee terrible things. Thine arrows are sharp in the
heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall
under thee." Psalm 45:3-5
Then comes verse 6!
"Thy throne, O God, is
for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre."
Psalm 45:6
The Throne of God the Son is declared (by God
the Father) to be "for ever!"
Never ending!
And just in case you doubt these words are
spoken directly to Jesus, read how the Holy Spirit interprets
them in Hebrews 1:8. "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."
Here's proof!
But, there's more!
Read with me Psalm 45:7. The Father
says to Jesus: "Thou lovest
righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God,
hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."
Then again go with me to Hebrews 1.
"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.
Thou hast loved
righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God,
hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows."
Hebrews 1:8-9
Christ Jesus ... undoubtedly ... Thy Throne
is for ever and ever! Thou shalt reign in righteousness!
How can anyone doubt the Eternal Sonship of
Jesus the Christ?
Then ... Psalm 45 continues with a view of a
Wedding! It even describes the Bride for a while!
Well, what's that got to do with Jesus?
He is the Bridegroom!
There is going to be a Wedding!
Even a Marriage Supper too!
And the Bride?
Well, she is the New Testament Church!
Born-again Blood-washed Believers in Christ
Jesus the Lord, the eternal Son!
Amen!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 7:
Colossians is perhaps in some ways Paul's
most Christ-centered Epistle.
It is a lovely body of literature.
In Colossians 1:17, speaking of our Lord,
Paul writes: "And He is before all
things, and by Him all things consist."
Did you see that?
By Jesus "all things consist."
That verb, "sunistao," means "to stand" ...
"together!"
Jesus is the Glue that holds all creation in
place!
He is the Reason the planets circle the sun!
He is the Reason electrons rotate around
their nucleus.
He is the Reason one's blood circulates
around and through his or her heart!
He is the Sustainer of life!
"By Him ... all things consist!"
But this little verse had more power yet!
Jesus is also "before all things!"
The preposition here, "pro" in Greek, means
"in the front of" or "prior to" something!
Is this not saying that the Son of God is
eternal?
He is antecedent to all things!
Before anything was ... He is!
Now if "all things" means "all things," then
Jesus exists for ever ... and is NOT a product of creation!
He is God!
He is eternal God!
He is forever!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 8:
The little Book of Micah contains a verse
about the Eternal Sonship of Christ Jesus our Lord.
"But thou, Bethlehem
Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of
Judah, yet out of thee shall He come forth unto me
that is to be Ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have
been from of old, from everlasting." Micah 5:2
Literally 500 years before Jesus was born,
humanity was told the very city from which our Lord would come!
Bethlehem!
"Bethlehem" means house of bread!
And "Ephratah" is thought to mean "fruitful!"
Both terms beautifully describe Jesus, God's
Son.
He IS the Bread of Life! He said:
"I am the living bread which came down
from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for
ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will
give for the life of the world." John 6:51
And He is fruitful! "Yet
it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to
grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,
he shall see his seed,
he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD
shall prosper in his hand." (Isaiah 53:10)
What seed or fruit He has borne because of Calvary!
Bethlehem is so little among the villages and
cities of Israel that she often went unnoticed.
But, because of Him, all that will change!
"O little town of Bethlehem," we now sing!
Then, see this.
Micah did not write that in Bethlehem Jesus
would simply be "born!"
No!
Out of that little hamlet will HE "come
forth!"
Infants are not generally said to "come
forth!"
They are born ... or delivered!
The verb here is suggestive of existence
prior to birth!
And the expression "to be ruler, "mashal" in
Hebrew, means "one who governs" or "one who reigns" or "one with
dominion!"
And even "goings forth" is startling as
a grammatical entity! It's "motzsah" in Hebrew and
is only found twice in Scripture. Here it just means "the
place or places where one goes" But in its other location,
2nd Kings 10:27, it has quite a different connotation.
"And they brake down the image of Baal,
and brake down the house of Baal, and made it
a draught house
unto this day." A "draught house" is an outside
bathroom! An "out-house" the old timers used to say.
The implication here may be that when Jesus
left heaven and come to earth, to this sin cursed world, it was
like He had left a spotless and pure Heaven to come to a filthy
vile "out-house" of a planet ... to die for sin!
Think of the "stench" of sin in the nostrils
of the Lord God Almighty!
Talk about the Love of God!
And the word "old" is "qedem" and suggests
"east" or "eastern" in direction! That area from which the
sun rises! It was one of the Hebrew ways to express that
which was ancient or everlasting! That which is before!
Once in the King James Bible "qedem" is translated "eternal!"
Here's that one time: "The
eternal God is
thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms:
and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall
say, Destroy them." Deuteronomy 33:27
Wow!
Then ... Micah 5:2 hits the target! It
absolutely declares the eternal Sonship of Jesus the Son of God!
"... Whose goings forth
have been ... from everlasting!"
Here's the whole verse again. Just to
be sure I have not missed something.
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little
among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he
come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose
goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting."
Micah 5:2
From "everlasting" expresses the sense of the
Hebrew noun "yom" (pronounced "yome") which means "day" or
"continually" or "always!"
Jesus the Christ is Son of God ... always ...
continually ... eternally!
That's proof enough for me!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 9:
Isaiah 9:6, no doubt speaking of Jesus,
prophesies: "For unto us a child is
born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon
his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor,
The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
What a precious verse this is!
We focus only one two of its great clauses.
Why did the Holy Spirit here designate Jesus
as both "Child" and Son?"
Perhaps it is to emphasize His twofold Being,
both God and Man! Both "Son" and "Child" of Mary!
If so ... the wording here would be crucial.
"A child is born!"
"Yeled," the noun for "child" is masculine in
gender. Several times in the King James Bible it is even
translated "boy." For an example, see Joel 3:3.
And this baby boy is "born." The "time"
sense of this verb is "perfect." The action is complete!
Jesus will never be "born" of a Virgin into an old sin-cursed
world again!
His first coming was a success!
He accomplished what God sent Him to do!
"It is finished" He said from Calvary!
BUT when it comes to the noun "son" in Isaiah
9:6, he is "given," not born!
Why?
God the Son is eternal.
He could NOT be born!
He had to be "given!"
Also here we have a "perfect" verb ... never
again will God "give" His eternal Son to die for lost mankind!
Once was sufficient!
Do you see the difference?
A child ... was born!
The Son ... was given!
He, Christ the Second Person of The Trinity
... The Very Son of God, is eternal!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 10:
While today's verse may not offer positive
proof of the Eternal Sonship of Christ Jesus, it well may help
document this great doctrine of Scripture.
In John 3:13 Jesus says to Nicodemus:
"And no man hath ascended up to
heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son
of man which is in heaven."
That's right!
No man ever has ascended to Heaven ... except
Jesus!
What about Enoch?
Or Elijah?
And what about the coming Rapture of the
Church?
Well, let's get specific:
Enoch was "taken!" He did not properly
"ascend!"
"And Enoch walked with
God: and he was not; for God took him."
Genesis 5:24
And Elijah "went up," but again ... that's
technically not an ascension! He had a vehicle that lifted
him away from earth to Glory!
"And it came to pass,
as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there
appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted
them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a
whirlwind into heaven." 2nd Kings 2:11
And at the Rapture, we will not "ascend" as
did Jesus, but will be "caught up" (a quick seizure, a snatching
away) into the air to meet Jesus!
"For the Lord himself
shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first: Then we which are alive and
remain shall be caught up together with them in
the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be
with the Lord." 1st Thessalonians 4:16-17
Only Jesus had the honor of a glorious
ascension to His Father's Throne!
Only He deserved such!
BUT ... it's what Jesus next taught Nicodemus
that is germane to our discussion on Eternal Sonship.
Our Lord identifies Himself as
"the Son of Man Which is in heaven!"
Here he sits on earth, in Jerusalem, talking
to a Pharisee ... and is at the same time claiming that He is
"in heaven!"
How can that be?
Unless ... Jesus as God can be in two places
at the same time!
What if I told you He could be in all places
at the same time!
If He is God ... He is omnipresent!
He just announced Himself to be on earth ...
and in heaven!
Hence, my conclusion:
Jesus, as the very Essence of God, as God
Himself, as God the Son ... shares in all the attributes of the
Father ... including omnipresence and omnipotence and yes,
eternality!
Therefore, of necessity, He IS the Eternal
Son of God!
Amen!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 11:
When the Angel Gabriel announced to Mary the
Virgin that she would be the Mother of Jesus, he worded part of
his news in a strange way!
"And in the sixth month
the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee,
named Nazareth, to a virgin espoused to a man whose name was
Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was
Mary. And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou
that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee:
blessed art thou among women. And the angel said unto
her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And,
behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son,
and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be
called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto
him the throne of his father David: and he shall reign over the
house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no
end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I
know not a man? And the angel answered and said unto her, The
Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest
shall overshdow thee: therefore also
that holy thing which shall
be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. For with God
nothing shall be impossible. And Mary said, Behold the handmaid
of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel
departed from her." (Luke 1)
The angel here has called the Lord by several
names and titles. He is Jesus. He is great. He
is a boy, a son. These terms emphasize His humanity.
BUT also He is "the Son of the Highest."
He is the very "Son of God!" He is the King, sent to
occupy "the throne of his father David." Of His Kingdom
there shall be "no end." These focus on His Deity!
He is God the Son!
Yet there is one more Synonym used for Jesus
here. It is so unique it bears comment. He is called
"THAT HOLY THING!"
In Greek this name is simply spelled "hagios!"
Actually as a masculine nominative singular noun, it's precisely
"hagion."
It's called a substantive.
It is an adjective acting like a noun.
It declares that Jesus God's Son is HOLINESS
itself!
He is Holiness come to earth!
He is Holiness personified!
Now, let me ask you a question. Who is
most Holy? Who is all Holy?
Only One is, the Lord God Almighty!
Who is "thrice" Holy as the old Puritans used
to say?
Angels right now are beside the Throne of God
... "crying unto another, and saying,
Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth
is full of his glory."
Amen!
If Jesus is 100% perfect Holiness ... and God
is 100% perfect Holiness .... then Jesus is God!
He did say: "I
and my Father are one." John 10:30
Therefore, Jesus being purely God ... He
shares all the attributes of His Father.
Including the fact of being eternal!
Moses prayed to God in Psalm 90, saying
"Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from
everlasting to everlasting, thou art God."
I am about to rest my "case."
Jesus IS the eternal Son of God.
He is eternally God the Son!
He is God!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
LESSON 12:
The last verse we will survey this month is
found in the opening paragraph of Hebrews. There Paul says
of Jesus: "God, who at sundry times
and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the
prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his
Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he
made the worlds." Hebrews 1:1-2
Notice with me the words "by Whom (Jesus) He
(God) made the worlds!"
Jesus is The Creator!
We know that from several Passages.
"He was in the world,
and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not."
John 1:10
"All things were made
by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made."
John 1:3
"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
What proof!
Here's my point today ... concerning the
Eternal Sonship of Christ ... if God created all things by
Jesus, then Jesus as God's Son could not possibly have been
generated at Bethlehem of Judea 2,000 years ago!
The Deity of Jesus ... as God's Son, as the
Second Person of The Trinity ... is eternal!
He was even here ... and doing the "work" ...
during creation week!
To believe otherwise is to disbelieve Hebrews
1:2!
"God ... hath in these
last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath
appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds."
Amen!
Jesus, eternally the Son of God!
--- Dr. Mike Bagwell
THESE TWELVE LESSONS ARE MEANT TO
EMPHASIZE THE BIBLE CONCEPT OF THE ETERNAL SONSHIP OF OUR LORD
JESUS CHRIST! AT CHRISTMAS ... OR ANY OTHER TIME OF THE YEAR ...
WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT OUR SAVIOUR IS VERY GOD OF VERY GOD!
LET'S WORSHIP HIM AS SUCH!
