Jesus, the Son of God
Jesus was aware of His unique relationship with the Father.
As the Son of God, Jesus’ relationship with the Father took priority over all other relationships.
Jesus was compelled to do the Father’s will.
As the Son of God, Jesus submitted Himself to His Heavenly Father.
In the Trinity, all three persons are equal in Deity but the Son and the Holy Spirit are subordinate in their roles.
As the Son of Man, Jesus submitted Himself to His earthly parents.
