Why The Son?

God created man out of Love. In creating Man God was creating Children who would relate to Him in love. Jesus says in the Gospel of John that if we claim to Love Him we will obey Him. (John14.15) When man wilfully rejected God's love and aligned himself with God's enemy, God had to allow man to go his way.

Though man rejected Him, God being the Loving parent wanted to reconcile with His Prodigal son. So the second person in Godhead (as decided before the foundations of the earth were laid down) went down to earth as the Son of God, to teach man the magnitude of God's Fatherly Love. (surely you know that Jesus was not God's son in the manner of human son, ie born of a woman by the will of her husband) For this reason, Jesus throughout his earthly ministry spoke of His relationship with the Loving Heavenly Father. (john 10.17, He wanted to create a thirst in man to have a similar father, son relationship with God. Jesus assures us that God desires a similar father - son relation with us too. (Mat 11.27, John 14.23)

TO those of us who desires to have this father - son relationship, Jesus says, "I am the way to the father. If you follow me, and me alone, I will ensure you are reconciled to your creator and true father. (John 16.27) Make sure you do not get off the road and get lost".
