• The "Only Begotten" Son?

  I planned to post about the power and authority which God has given to those of us who believe in His "only begotten Son."  His "unique" Son.  But then my mind was caught up in just how incredible this fact really is!  More so to others than to myself these days after so many years experiencing and exercising His power and authority.  But still...   Have you ever just read these incredible words of scripture and let their impact sink in deep?

  Luke 1:34-35 Amplified Bible (AMP):

  And Mary said to the angel, How can this be, since I have no [intimacy with any man as a] husband?

  Then the angel said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you [like a shining cloud]; and so the holy (pure, sinless) Thing (Offspring) which shall be born of you will be called the Son of God.

   

  John 3:16 Amplified Bible (AMP):

  For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.

   

  Can you say "Wow" with me now?
