The Excellence of Jesus

Overview
Luke claims that the things he writes about Jesus are true, that they actually happened. But there’s a second reason why Luke records things: he wants us to have a relationship with God through Jesus.
There were lots of things Luke left out that he could have written. Therefore, everything he does record is there to teach us something about how to encounter Jesus, how to meet Jesus. And in two incidents early in the life of Jesus—the account of Jesus as a 12-year-old boy in the temple, and the account of Jesus’ baptism when he turns 30—there’s a common thread.
Let’s look at 1) the amazing sonship of the boy Jesus, 2) the amazing sonship of the man Jesus, and 3) the amazing sonship of the followers of Jesus.
