Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, if you have a broken, messed-up family our text this morning is for you. If you have a wonderful family, this text is also for you. You see, this text is about the truth that God gave His own being to His Son. Theologians call this truth “the eternal generation of the Son.” It may seem arcane or distant from our daily lives, but it’s not! If you are a parent or have parents, this truth is for you. If you are a person who needs to love and be loved, this truth is for you. If you are a person with needs, this truth is for you. The truth that we are going to look at together this morning is that Jesus Christ is continuously and completely filled by His Father. In fact, we could go so far as to say that without the Father, Jesus is nothing. Without the Father, there would be and could be no Jesus! But of course, given the eternal reality and the infinite life of the Father, Jesus is everything that He is, and He is everything that He is for us. He can never cease to be fully, completely, and infinitely God over all, blessed forever, amen. And that truth is the best news you and I can ever hear. God is one of us. His mighty power is at work in His Son such that, in Christ, you have God as your Father. That is the most practical truth in the Bible. We will see it this morning under two headings — Christ, the man for others, and Christ, the God over all.
