The Union of the Father and the Son

       Immediately after saying “You are my Son, today I have begotten you” (Ps. 2:7), God indwelt  the body of His Son, resulting in the union of two distinct personalities in one body, the Father as pure spirit  and the Son an angelic being.  I call this union  “Theosomatic,”  from two Greek words “Theos” (God) and “Soma” (Body).  The  Body belongs to the Son while the divine spirit belongs to God the Father.

       God’s indwelling in the Son does not mean, however, that the full person of God is in the Son as God is omnipresent  to be everywhere.  It simply means that His full authority and power is in the Son.  In the words of Apostle Paul, “in Him, all fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form” (Colossians 2:9).  It is clear that  the Son’s  full powers are not His own but of the indwelling Father.  On the other hand, John the Baptist says that the Son “receives the Spirit without measure, as the Father loves the Son, and has given all  things into His hand” (John 3:34-35).

       As the Word of God from the very beginning, the Son can now speak the words of the indwelling Father.  What   the Father dictates, the Son speaks.  In other words, the Son becomes the mouthpiece or spokesman of the voiceless Father.  And because the angelic body can be visible or invisible, the Son is then described as the “image” of the invisible God (Col. 1:15).
