I agree about His position. The Son inherits all things from His Father.
Authority, creative power, everlasting life, His Father's name, children, priesthood and judgment.
Looking unto Jesus we see that it is the glory of our God to give. 'I do nothing of Myself,' said Christ; 'the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father.' 'I seek not Mine own glory,' but the glory of Him that sent Me. John 8:28; 6:57; 8:50; 7:18. In these words is set forth the great principle which is the law of life for the universe. All things Christ received from God, but He took to give. So in the heavenly courts, in His ministry for all created beings: through the beloved Son, the Father's life flows out to all; through the Son it returns, in praise and joyous service, a tide of love, to the great Source of all. And thus through Christ the circuit of beneficence is complete, representing the character of the great Giver, the law of life.
Heb 1:2 God has spoken to us by His Son whom He has appointed heir of all things.
Mark 12:7 "this is the heir, let us kill him."
Jesus identified Himself as God's heir in this parable.
Matt 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father (see also Luke 10:22)
Matt 28:18 All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth
John 3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand
Christ received His equality and position from His Father through inheritance. Created beings such as angels do not have any inheritance... Our inheritance comes through adoption, Christ's inheritance comes through being the true Prince of the universal King.
The Father had made known that it was ordained by Himself that Christ His Son, should be equal with Himself; so that wherever was the presence of His Son, it was as His own presence. "This is My Son: hear ye Him". The word of the Son was to be obeyed as readily as the word of the Father. His Son He had invested with authority to command the heavenly host. Hence why He was known as Michael, the arch angel. Not a created being, but the true Lord of hosts, the commander of the heavenly armies.
The life of the Son is the same life of the Father.
John 5:26 for the Father "has given to the Son to have life (zoen) in Himself"...
"as the Father has life in Himself"
Greek uses three words to express our English concept of life: zoe, bios and psuche.
These appear in our English words for zoo, biology, and psyche.
Bios, biosis, biotikis is reserved for "the things of this common earthly life"
Luke 8:14 The seed is choked by the cares of this life (bios)
2Tim 2:4 the affairs of this life (bios)
1Cor 6:3,4 the things that pertain to this life (bios)
1Tim 2:2 Pray for those in authority that we may have a quiet and peaceful life (bios) in this world.
1Jn 2:10 The pride of life (bios) is not of the Father.
Luke 21:34 drunkenness and cares of this life (bios)
Scripture uses zoe almost exclusively to indicate immortal, eternal life;
the life Jesus had and gives to us.
Matt 19:16 What shall I do to inherit eternal life (zoe)?
Matt 19:17 If you will enter into life (zoe) keep the commandments
John 1:4 In Him was life (zoe)
'In him was life, and the life was the light of men.' It is not physical life that is here specified, but immortality, the life which is exclusively the property of God.
Acts 3:15 Jesus is the Prince of life (zoe)
John 10:10 He came that we might have life (zoe), not just physical life, but eternal life!
Jesus gives this life to His creatures
ICor 8.6 there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ,
through whom all things came and through whom we live.
All created things live by the will and power of God. They are dependent recipients of the life of the Son of God....All the human beings in our world take their life from Him. He is the spring, the fountain of life.
The Father's life flows through the beloved Son out to all created beings.
John 6:57 Thus, the Son lives by the Father
1Cor 15:27,28 For He (God the Father) has put all things under his (the Son's) feet.
But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that He (God the Father) is excepted, which did put all things under him.
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto Him that put all things under him (Son), that God (the Father) may be all in all.
Thus, Jesus is Ruler over all (except His Father).
He is still subject to His Father who is God over all.
The Father is the Source of all things,
the absolute highest authority, even above His Son.
1Cor 11:3 The head of Christ is God
Col 1:18 But Christ is the head of the church…
that in all things He might have the preeminence.
The Father Gives His Power to the Son
God endowed His Son with all the rights, privileges, power and authority of the Godhead.
Matt 28:18 All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth (from the Father)
Heb 1:3 upholding all things by the word of His (the Father's) power
John 17:2 You [Father] have given him [Jesus Christ] power over all flesh
Col 2:9 For in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily
Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell
Rev 2:27 Jesus received of His Father authority to rule over the nations with a rod of iron
John 5:27 The Father has given the Son authority to execute judgment
Jesus then used the power from His Father to create all things.
The Father Created all things by the Word, His Son, Jesus Christ
Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth
2 Pet 3:5 by the word of God the heavens were of old and the earth standing out of and in the water
Acts 17:24 God…made the world and all things therein,
seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth
Isa 40:28 the everlasting God, the Lord,
the Creator of the ends of the earth faints not, neither is weary
Isa 45:18 the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it.
The Father accomplished all this creative work by or through His Son, the Word of God. And the Word was God, and became flesh.
JW's fail to recognize the true stature and the true position of the Son of God, their they fall short of recognizing the true sacrifice made by the Father in giving His Son to the human race, (an eternal transaction) and also fall short in recognizing the true depth of love for mankind by the Father and Son through what took place in the incarnation and Calvary.
