Some say that Jesus is not the literal Son of God and that the term “Son” is a metaphor or a roll or title Jesus has.

If Christ is only a “figurative” / metaphorical Son, then the Father is only a “figurative” / metaphorical Father. And if that’s the case, the love of John 3:16 becomes a shadow — God didn’t really give His Son, He only sent a role-player. That destroys the gospel.

Jesus asked His disciples:“Who do you say I am?”

Now He is asking you that question. “Who do you say I am?”
