✦ MADE SIMPLE
I mean, think about it — God never looked at any angel and said 'You're my son, today I'm claiming you as mine.' And he never promised any angel 'I'll be your father, and you'll be my son.' That relationship? That's reserved for someone way more special.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Jesus isn't just another heavenly being — he's got the one relationship with God that no one else can touch.
