YOU ARE A SON JUST LIKE JESUS

John 20:16-17 (TPT)

“Mary,” Jesus interrupted her. Turning to face him, she said, “Rabboni!” (…“my teacher”) Jesus cautioned her, “Mary, don’t hold on to me now, for I haven’t yet ascended to God, my Father. And he’s not only my Father and God, but now he’s your Father and your God! Now go to my brothers and tell them what I’ve told you, that I am ascending to my Father—and your Father, to my God—and your God!”

By your faith in Jesus, you are born of God, (John 1:12-13). You have received His life and the power to experience everything a son of God should experience. Your life experiences and realities are no more from your flesh and blood; they are based on the life of God in you which God says is the same that Jesus has in Him, (1 John 5:10-12). Jesus came to raise many sons to glory, (Heb. 2:10). Jesus said God the Father loves you just as He loves Him, (John 17:23). He is now a Father to you in the exact same way He is to Jesus. This is what Jesus was telling Mary in our text above. This is what the death of Jesus accomplished for us.

When Jesus said, “I and my Father are one” (referring to God), the Jews took up stones to stone Him, because they felt He was blaspheming by claiming He had the same life God has. Right now, you can say the same thing because you have become one with Jesus, (1 Cor. 6:17, 1 John 4:17). You can walk in the fullness of the blessings and power of God just like Jesus did (John 14:12) because you are a joint heir with Christ, (Rom. 8:17). Just as Jesus perfectly reflected the nature of the Father, right now, you are a perfect reflection of Jesus and God the Father. You have been accepted in the beloved, (Eph. 1:6). Just like Jesus, you are now God’s beloved son with whom He is well pleased and He wants to use you to attract people to Him.

Prayer:
Father, I thank you for making me a son to you just as Jesus is. Thank you that I can experience your fullness and reflect your nature.
