The uniqueness of the Father (continued)

He is our protector. He protects us in our battles against the world, the flesh, and the devil. Psalm 23, Psalm 37, Psalm 56:3-4

He is our provider. He provides for our physical and spiritual well-being. He is the source of all good gifts. Matthew 6:25-34, James 1:17

He gives us eternal security. We are safe in God's hands forever ... safe because no one is strong enough to take us out of His hands. John 10:27-29

He hears our prayers. Jesus taught that we should pray to the Father. Matthew 6:8-9, John 16:23

He disciplines His children. As a loving Father, He disciplines us to be all that we can be. He is the vinedresser who prunes us to bear more fruit. Hebrews 12:4-13, John 15:1-2

THE UNIQUENESS OF THE SON. The Lord Jesus Christ has always been, is, and always will be fully and totally God. However, we see Him uniquely doing particular things that distinguish Him from the Father and the Spirit.

He is the Creator. Jesus is the Creator and sustainer of all things created. John 1:3, Colossians 1:16-17

He is the defender and deliverer of Israel. Joshua 5:13 - 6:2, Psalm 34:7

He became the God-Man. Jesus became a man ... adding humanity to His undiminished deity. He became the logos, the physical representation of God, on earth. Philippians 2:5-8, John 1:1-2,14

He is the Apostle of our faith. He is the founder and forerunner of our faith. Hebrews 3:1

He is the High Priest of our faith. He is the superior and permanent priest. Hebrews 3:1, 4:14-15, 7:23-24, 9:11-12

He was a prophet predicted by Moses, Deuteronomy 18:15. He authoritatively declared God's Word in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5-7 ... on the Mount of Olives, Matthew 24-25 ... and in the upper room, John 13-16. He predicted Judas' betrayal, Matthew 26:21. He predicted His death and resurrection, Matthew 16:21, 20:17-19.
