Deep dives

Jesus as the Ultimate Power and Firstborn

Jesus is revealed as the ultimate power in the universe and the firstborn of all creation. This title is applied to Jesus by Paul in the New Testament, but the gospel authors call him the Son of God. The story of Jesus' baptism is about the commissioning of the Son as the Son of God to rule over creation. Jesus is the true ruler of the cosmos and has a cosmic identity beyond his human lineage. He is both the Son of Adam and the eternal Son of the Father. Jesus faces temptation in the wilderness and succeeds by surrendering his life, using his power in a different manner. The Hebrew Bible points forward to a king from the lineage of David, who would be the lowest of lows, elevated to the highest of highs by giving their life for others' sins.
