Son of God and son of man

 


Mark 12:35  Jesus was teaching in the Temple area. He asked, "Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? 

Mar 12:36  With the help of the Holy Spirit, David himself says, 'The Lord God said to my Lord: Sit by me at my right side, and I will put your enemies under your control.' 

Mar 12:37  David himself calls the Messiah 'Lord.' So how can the Messiah be David's son?" Many people listened to Jesus and were very pleased. 


To explain this lets look at how the virgin learned that she was chosen to give birth to the Messiah


Luke 1:30  And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 

Luk 1:31  And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 

Luk 1:32  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: 

Luk 1:33  And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. 

Luk 1:34  Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? 

Luk 1:35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. 


Both Mary and her engaged to be husband, Joseph were of the lineage of King David from the tribe of Judah.  The truth is that Jesus always existed in spirit form with Almighty God who is spirit.  God was the father of Jesus who came as a human through the Virgin Mary.


There were many prophecies of a future Messiah or Christ, meaning the anointed one. There were also prophesies saying that this is the Son of God.  Jesus himself referred to his early existence before his birth. He spoke of being the I AM, the title of God.


John 8:56  Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. 

Joh 8:57  Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? 

Joh 8:58  Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. 


God is spirit manifested as the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. They are one God, in the Hebrew Elohiym. All are the one God who created all there is.


Gen 1:1  In the beginning God (Elohym) created the heaven and the earth.


I am using the Bible to explain the Bible. It is a spiritual book. Let the Holy Spirit teach you;  He is the spirit of truth.
