Son of God

“These are written down so you will believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and in the act of believing, have real and eternal life in the way he personally revealed it.” (John 20:31 MSG)

What is DNA? Most of us have a vague idea that it is something in us that determines our genetics. Unless you work in the field of science or law enforcement, you rarely think about it. DNA codes genetic information for the transmission of inherited traits. Although we share much of the same DNA with other primates, each human being has a unique pattern of DNA. The closer we are related, the more similar we are.

Jesus is the Son of God. He inherited all of the Father’s DNA. He is God incarnate, the Divine embodied in human form. Jesus is the Messiah, the Savior. He is the source and outcome of our hope and expectations. Jesus is God with us, God in us, and God through us.

As children of God, this knowledge is already part of our spiritual DNA.  However, many of us remain unaware of this intricate code that determines the essence of who we are.  This ignorance doesn’t change the fact that every aspect of our lives is powered by God, operating within us and through us.
