Donald Trump has recently made a point of asking to see documentation for the President’s place of birth. While I don’t have people on the ground in Hawaii, I’m not personally persuaded this questions needs any attention. I’m not planning on reading up on the Obama-Birther discussion Saturday morning.
But, there is another “birther question” that is one that ought to concern us all: Is Jesus the Son of God?
Scripture, in many different ways tell us that Jesus is the Son of God: “The Word became flesh (John 1:14)”, “that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20). . .”
My friend Dr. Lamonte King, Jr. reminded me earlier today that Paul begins Romans by reminding his audience that “Jesus was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead (Romans 1:4).”
If there was any question about Jesus’s Messianic qualification, if there were any Donald Trump types floating about Jerusalem in the days leading up to the Cross, the question of Jesus’ identity was solved once and for all when God made declaration of the identity of His Son in the resurrection.
Amen and Amen….Jesus has more than a proven identity! We can get so caught up in the events or circumstances of our political realities that we forget He is the King of Kings. He will rule and reign and every knee shall bow before Him! This is the critical truth Chris. Kingdoms will come and go but Christ will reign forever! Thank you!
