Episode 12: God the Son

In this episode of the Sola Veritas Podcast, Justin, Nathan, and Matt focus on God the Son—the eternal Word made flesh, who accomplishes redemption for His people. They walk through the Son’s role in creation, His incarnation, and His obedience unto death, showing how He is both fully God and fully man, the only mediator between God and humanity.

They engage common objections: Why emphasize the Son’s role if the whole Trinity is at work? Isn’t it enough to say the Father loves us without the need for the cross? And most pointedly, how do we answer the charge that the gospel portrays “cosmic child abuse”? The discussion shows that far from being coerced, the Son willingly lays down His life in perfect unity with the Father’s will, revealing divine love and justice in harmony.

This episode provides a deeper understanding of the Son’s central role in salvation—sent by the Father, empowered by the Spirit, and risen as Lord over all. This episode points to why our worship, preaching, and hope must remain Christ-centered, grounded in the glory of the Son who saves.
