Revealing the Sons of God

Today I was asked by one of my best friends a very pondering question..... Some food for thought if you will. I have decided that this in going to be implemented into my book I am working on. This is no coincidence that Dave asked me this question, whereas I had asked him to assist me (and he volunteered) in a few dealings with my book. He is proofreading it for me, and I had asked him to write the foreword for it as well. I cannot think of any one man I admire more than Dave Hinman that presently walks this Earth, and the only person I know of that I hold equal admiration for is Allen Willoughby. These guys are two of the greatest servants I know.

The question Dave posed to me was... What do I think the phrase "Revealing the Sons of God" means in this context.

This is how I responded to him:

Dave,

You asked me what I thought of the phrase “Revealing the Sons of God” and what it meant in this context.

I think that it means that as Christians we are all Sons of God because we hold Jesus in our hearts and that makes us the portrait of Christ in God’s eyes, or at least that is what we are/should (be) striving for as Christians. Men and Women are created equal in God’s eyes and even Jesus I would say considered Himself to be more equal with us that God according to Philippians 2. Jesus never considered equality with God something to be grasped! So that would mean He viewed Himself more as a man, than as a Supernatural phenomenon!

With all of that said, back to the “Revealing” part of all this. I believe this means that Christians are to reveal daily in every aspect of their lives the very essence of who Jesus is in their lives, and who is through God’s eyes! This means revealing Him at work, kids sporting events, etc. etc. and letting the Holy Spirit just ooze out of our pores EVERYWHERE we go and in EVERYTHING that we do!

I hope this helps with your pondering! Not that my insight could be any greater than that of your own!

Love ya man!

Give the girls BIIIIIIIIIIG SCOTT HUGS for me!!

Love,

Scott Smith

Please feel free to weigh in and let me know what you think of this phrase as well and what it means in this context! I feel as though I have an excellent grasp on what it means, but would love to have others input as well!
