Beloved Son
Jaw Dropping Love
Have you noticed that hate between people seems to be in the news more than love is in the news? That’s what makes God the Father and Jesus’ love for us so jaw dropping.
Think about it for a minute. Jesus, at age 12, described the temple as the house of His Heavenly Father and in so doing claimed familial intimacy with God. At Jesus’ baptism, His Heavenly Father claimed intimacy with Him, saying, “This is My beloved Son in whom I am well pleased,” Matthew 3:17.
“Beloved Son” is a term that means esteemed, dear, favorite Son.
Yes, believers are sons and daughters of God. Yet when we ponder the magnitude of our Heavenly Father’s sacrifice in sending His favorite only begotten Son to die for our sins (John 3:16), and when we think of the magnitude of Jesus’ sacrifice when He left His Heavenly Father to come to earth to die for us, we can’t help but have profound gratitude and wonder at their love.
Heavenly Father and BELOVED SON, we praise You for Your magnanimous love, grace, and sacrifice. Thank You! We love You.

BELOVED SON
“A voice out of the heavens said, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Matthew 3:17
Jesus, at age 12, described the temple in Jerusalem as His Father’s house. He laid claim to intimacy with the heavenly Father and a desire to be near Him. At Jesus’s baptism, God the Father affirmed His relationship with Jesus when He called Him “My BELOVED Son.” When we think of God the Father sending His beloved Son to earth to be our Savior, may we be mindful of the Father and Son’s sacrifice. May we be mindful of their great love.
Heavenly Father and BELOVED SON, I praise You for Your great love. I praise You for selflessly giving Yourself and including me in the family of God!
