What I share with you here is mind-boggling, but true. It is a revelation of our inheritance in Christ. The entire ministry of the Lord Jesus was to bring us into His own exclusive privileges: all He was by right, He died and rose to bring us into, by grace. Where He stood alone by merit, His finished work brought us in by redemption. He wasn’t content to be the Man in the glory, so He gave His life to bring many sons to glory (Heb.2:10)!
Here are several exclusive privileges that Jesus had which He has graciously shared with us, His brethren:
1. Sonship: Jesus was the only begotten Son of the Father. Now we too have been begotten by the Father: 1Pet.1:3; See also Jas.1:18.
