AMPLIFIED 2015 | Hebrews 1:5 ¶ For to which of the angels did the Father ever say, "YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN (fathered) YOU [established You as a Son, with kingly dignity]"? And again [did He ever say to the angels], "I SHALL BE A FATHER TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME"? [2 Sam 7:14; Ps 2:7] |
Bible Question:
In Hebrews 1:5 what does God the Father mean when He said in the NASB that "Today I have begotten Thee (Jesus)". Is the Father referring to Jesus' physical birth or is there another explanation for God's statement. Thanks |
Bible Answer: Jario Quoting from Ps. 2:7 and 2 Sam. 7:14, the writer presents the unique relationship which the Son has with the Father. No angel ever experienced such a relationship. Son. A title of Christ expressing the voluntary submission of the Second Person of the Godhead to the First Person for the purpose of fulfilling the program of redemption established in eternity past Cf. vv. 2,8; 3:6; 4:14; 5:5,8; 6:6; 7:3,28; 10:29; 11:17 and many other references in the NT. His sonship was also expressed in the OT (cf. Ps. 2:12; Prov. 30:4). The word “today” indicates that God’s Son was born in a point of time. He was always God, but He fulfilled His role as Son in space and time at His incarnation and was affirmed as such by His resurrection (Rom. 1:4). MacArthur, J. J. (1997, c1997).
