About This Quote
Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Jesus has always been God's son, but not always understood that way. He was first called the "Word of God" by John the Baptist. That was a designation that had to do with his importance as a messenger from God, but not as an incarnation of God himself. Jesus' disciples were later to see him as divine, but it took time for them to see him as God's son. Also, it seems that the full truth about Jesus' divine sonship wasn't fully accepted until after his resurrection, when he claimed to be "the Son of Man."
