Why is it important to believe that Jesus was the Son of God? Many teach that Jesus never claimed to be God’s Son, but that His disciples gave Him that title later. What difference does it make? Isn’t it enough that He showed us how to live, and died for our sins? When Jesus healed the lame man at the pool, He declared and defined His role as the Son of God. And what He taught that day still makes a life and death difference for us.
