When Americans hear the word "firstborn," they often think of the eldest child—someone who grows up with first-time parents and becomes the guinea pig as the family navigates parenting. But in the Bible, the term firstborn carries a much deeper significance. In this episode, we explore the meaning behind Jesus being called the "firstborn son of the Father." Is the Bible suggesting that Jesus was created by the Father, making Him the first physical-born child and thus implying He is not eternal? Or is there a broader, more profound interpretation than our typical American perspective? Join us as we dive into the different meanings of "firstborn" in Scripture and how Jesus fulfills these rich, multifaceted implications.
