Dear Flock of Victory,
The scriptures declare in Luke 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.” The angel Gabriel has just given Mary a tremendous message. Earlier the angel told her that his name would be Jesus, but now the angel gives her a more important title for her virgin born son. Mary had the witness of the angel Gabriel that the Son of God was to be born through her.
Luke 4:40-41 gives us more interesting information, “Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ (anointed one) the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ.” Notice that the devils knew who he was – the Son of God.
Luke 8:27-28 continues, “And when he went forth to land, there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and ware no clothes, neither abode in any house, but in the tombs. When he saw Jesus, he cried out, and fell down before him, and with a loud voice said, What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not.” Upon reading further you will find that when Jesus asked for the name of the devil, he was told Legion for there were many in this man. Notice that the spirit world knows that Jesus is the Son of God.
Matthew 14:31-33 tells of Peter walking on the water, “ And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, (Peter) and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt? And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased. Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.” The disciples of Jesus had indeed witnessed a wonderful supernatural event and spoke immediately of his title given to him by God.
John records in John 1:32-34, “And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him. And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost. And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.” John also is a witness to Jesus being the Son of God.
John 1:49 continues, “Nathanael answered and said unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.” Nathan also is in the line of witnesses of experiencing the supernatural power of Jesus the Son of God.
John 11:24-27 gives insight into Martha’s life, “Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.” Martha knew deep inside the fantastic truth that Jesus truly is the Son of God.
Matthew 27:50-54 gives us the final scene on the cross of Jesus, “Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many
