Elder Brother

<< < (2/3) > >>

John from Kentucky:
I do not think of Jesus as an elder brother.

I think of Jesus as my God and King, not as an equal.  I am a knight in His service.

He is my Trail Boss, and I'm taking His cattle to Montana.  Trail Boss says go this way, and I go this way.  Trail Boss says go that way, and I go that way.  Not my cattle.

I am His servant.  I don't have free will.  He directs my way and path.

Wanda:
I agree with John on this. It's impossible for me to view my relationship with the King, on the same level as I would a brother in Christ.

Maybe in the future when God is All in All and I've been given a new glourious body and mind, but not in my present carnal condition.  There is absolutely nothing about me worthy to consider myself on his righteous level.

ML:
I see it as both honestly.

Yes, He is our Great King, but He also humbles Himself as that. Does not act as a crazy tyrant with some anger issues, but shows His love toward us. A love so great, that is requires all the Saints just to comprehend it.

Besides, if we are Sons of God, and He is the Son of God, doesn't that imply a family? But, I would say this is more true for Him as brother in the All in All state, not right now.

Dennis Vogel:
Mat 12:48  But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?

Mat 12:49  And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!

Mat 12:50  For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Heb 2:11  For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,

brethren - G80

ἀδελφός
adelphos
ad-el-fos'
From G1 (as a connective particle) and δελφύς delphus (the womb); a brother (literally or figuratively) near or remote (much like [H1]): - brother.
