“that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
When I read this scripture, I thought of how God sent His Word to us through His only begotten Son. How the Word was placed as a seed into a virgin, and was birthed in the flesh.
In John 1:1 scripture reads: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
I thought of how a CEO of a large company sends his word out, that he wants a certain thing done, and it is passed down through a Forman, and it is done. In much the same way that God sent His Word out and it also was done.
God could not use man to deliver His commands, because man was tainted. He had used Moses the man to deliver the 10 commandments to His people, but because man was sinful, he did not follow the laws as God had set down.
God’s Word being pure and not tainted was the only way for God to reach out to a sinful people.
