Son of God, Son of Man

This six-part series, delivered in 1999, explores the many ways scripture reveals the character and purpose of God through his son. Each class uncovers a different title drawn from the Gospel of John, showing how these inspired portraits together form a powerful picture of the work of salvation and the hope it brings to all who believe.

The Son of God

This opening study reflects on what it means that the word was made flesh and dwelt among us. It considers how the son uniquely revealed the mind of God, and why his divine origin gave him the strength to overcome sin and show the world the Father’s glory.

The Son of Man

Here the focus shifts to the son’s humanity. As the Son of Man he shared in our weakness, was tempted as we are, and yet without sin. This class shows how his human experience makes him a merciful and faithful high priest, fully able to understand our struggles while leading us to life.

The Lamb of God

This study centers on the Lord as the spotless lamb who takes away the sin of the world. It explores his temptations, his obedience even to death, and the way his sacrifice fulfilled the law and opened the path to forgiveness and reconciliation with God.

The Good Shepherd

This class presents the son as the shepherd who knows his sheep, calls them by name, and willingly lays down his life for them. It emphasizes his constant awareness of the hour of his sacrifice, and how both Father and Son worked together in the great plan of redemption.

The Comforter

Here the Lord is seen as the comforter, the one called alongside to strengthen and guide. The study reflects on his role as advocate at the right hand of God and on the spirit of truth that brings his words to remembrance, providing lasting assurance to all who follow him.

The Life

The final class draws the series together by considering the son as “the life.” It shows how God’s mind was revealed through him, how his resurrection declared victory over sin and death, and how true life is found in receiving and living by the word of God.
