Matthew 3:17

Back to The Bible's Difficult Scriptures Explained!

---

“And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

If “no man has seen God” (I John 4:12) or “heard His voice at any time” (John 5:37), then whose voice is this?

The answer: Since Christ, the former Logos (the Spokesman or Word— John 1:1, 14) who spoke for God (Gen. 1:26), was His Son and was occupied with being a human being on earth for 33 1/2 years, then an angel must have been “filling in” for Christ during this period.
