Click to reveal the answerThe answer is: God
Mark 1:1 - Throughout the gospels Jesus is called the Son of God and had no genetic connection to Joseph. Jesus was born from God's power, the Holy Spirit, acting upon Mary and for this reason his father was God and his mother was Mary. He was therefore called both the Son of God and also the Son of Man.
The concept of Jesus being the Son of God certainly captivates minds and initiatives many questions regarding his nature and origins! Gospel accounts emphasize that Jesus, as the Son of God, serves a divine role, signaling a deep relationship with the Father. Think about it! All biblical journeys point different people to significant revelations, and Jesus’ conception marked one of the most miraculous!
Speaking of miracles, the concept of divine births isn’t entirely unique in scripture! You might recall Sarah and Abraham or Hannah and Samuel, where God intervened in incredible ways to grant the gift of children. Similarly, Mary wasn’t just a passive participant; she exemplified faith—the very essence of being receptive to God’s will in an extraordinary circumstance. In Luke 1:45, Elizabeth proclaims, “Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her”, which truly showcases the power of belief in life-altering events!
Additionally, by calling Jesus the Son of Man, there's a fascinating connection to the prophetic figure in Daniel (7:13), implying a bridge between humanity and divinity. This duality not only enriches who Jesus is perceived as but highlights the intended connection between God and humans—a seamless thread sewn throughout the scriptures! Thus, his identity sparks reflections upon divine intervention and connections that persist through time, unveiling layers of understanding we carry forward today.
