Luke 1:32 (KJV) “He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest”
Who is Jesus Christ? He is the “Son of the Highest.” “The Highest” means the Most High God (Hebrew: El Elyon). It means the One exalted above all, the Supreme One, the Absolutely Sovereign God, the One who has no equal, rival, or challenger. Hallelujah! “The Highest” also means that “God is Above All Creation” – God is not part of creation. He stands above time, space, and matter. He rules every domain – heaven, earth, angels, kings, and nature. “The Highest” means the LORD God has “Supreme Authority” – He answers to no one. He consults no one. He depends on no one. He is the final authority in the universe. Hallelujah! The LORD God has “Supreme Power” – No force can resist Him. No kingdom can overthrow Him. No enemy can match Him. His power is unlimited, unconquerable, and irresistible. Furthermore, “The Highest” means “God is Supreme in Morality and Holiness” – He is infinitely pure. His holiness is not measured by a standard; He is the standard. God is “Supreme in Wisdom” – His understanding is unsearchable. He sees the end from the beginning. Nothing surprises Him.
So, Jesus Christ is the Son of the “One who is Highest in position, power, and authority.” Jesus is the Son of El Elyon. Jesus, being called “Son of the Highest” means He shares the nature, glory, power, and authority of the Most High God. Glory to God! As “Son of the Highest”, Jesus is fully divine. He is equal with God. He has the same authority as the Father. He is not a lesser being, not a created angel, not a junior deity. Jesus is the “Visible Expression of the Invisible God” (Col 1:15). He is the exact representation of God’s nature (Heb. 1:3). The implication of this to the believer in Christ Jesus is that you can trust Him completely. Because He is the Son of the Highest, no problem is too big, no battle too strong, no situation too dark for Him. Because Jesus is the Son of the Highest, we can worship Him without reservation because He is worthy of the highest praise, the deepest devotion, and the strongest faith. Hallelujah! Lift your voice today and worship the Son of the Highest. Glory to God in the highest!
