God's Firstborn Son – Firstborn E8
BibleProject
The Sonship of Jesus Christ
Jesus is the son of God, not just in the same way that humans are the image of God, but he is the image of God that humans imitate. The baptism reveals that his human sonship is important but not its primary focus. His lineage connects him to the servant, Jesse, and Adam, symbolizing a new Adam. However, he is more than just a new human or a new David. The baptism shows that he is the revelation of God's own self, representing the father, son, and spirit working together. Jesus is the chosen son, unexpected and from a lower social status. Yet, his identity as the son of God is emphasized, pointing to his power and authority. There are two ways that Jesus is the son of God: through his human lineage and through his eternal sonship as the revelation of the father.
