'Sonship' is an important, yet often overlooked, theme throughout
the Bible. Adam, the first human being, is identified as a 'son of
God'; Israel is God's 'first-born son'; the covenant with king
David is cast in father-son terms; Christians are children of God,
'adopted as sons'; and the same designation brings Scripture to a
triumphant conclusion: 'He who overcomes will inherit all this, and
I will be his God and he will be my son' (Revelation 21:7). The
storyline of the Bible is clear, that God is making for himself a
family of sons and daughters who will serve him and reign with him
in his kingdom for ever - and this purpose is achieved through
Jesus Christ, the incarnate Son of God. In his warm-hearted,
edifying exposition of this theme, Trevor Burke shows how 'sonship'
is the focus of creation, is a metaphor for salvation, carries
moral obligation, and is the goal of restoration of broken,
suffering humanity. For those whom God the Father adopts into his
household as sons and daughters, the family bonds that begin in
this life will last for all eternity.
