Jane: What does it mean to say that Jesus is the son of God?

Me: It’s a metaphor which means that Jesus is the complete revelation of God. It does not, however, mean that God gave birth to Jesus and raised him up.

No. It has nothing to do with God raising a son, but everything to do with Him revealing Himself to us through the person of Jesus Christ. The question which follows immediately is this: why do we even need a revelation of God?

It’s because we moved from God’s definition of reality into our own. This move made us worship ourselves and not God. So Jesus made the one true God worthy of worship known to us, the only one in whom we find our true definition. His name is I AM.
