Bible Question: In the book of Ecclesiasticus in the Catholic version from 1958 it states that Jesus had a grandson. It is not clear how many grandchildren Jesus had or their names. Do you know this? |
Bible Answer: You've received good answers! I'd like to add: "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." John 1:12 "it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." Romans 9:8 "The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God." Romans 8:16 There is an expression "God has no grandchildren" which implies that we can't rest upon the faith of our fathers (or mothers)but we must come to God on our OWN! When we decide to place OUR faith in Him, we become "children of God" - heirs of the promise of redemption and eternal life - indeed, we are sons and daughters of the King - imagine that? Now WHY, pray tell, don't we live out this identity? Might is be because we believe that we are less than who God declares us to be? And when we do this, who do we call a liar? Sobering thoughts.
