This is my beloved son

“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying,” This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." Matthew 3:16–17
 
This image is very different. Not a flaming sun of intolerable brightness, but a soft, quiet, vulnerable dove - the kind of animal poor people offered for sacrifices in the temple. God’s pleasure in his Son comes not only from the brightness of his majesty but from the beauty of his meekness. The Father delights in his Son’s supremacy and in his servant hood. “The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand” John
3:35. “Behold my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen, in whom my soul delights” Isaiah 42:1
The Father’s very soul exults with joy over the servant-like meekness and compassion of his Son. The Father cries, “Behold, my Servant in whom my soul delights!”
 
One of the sermons of Jonathan Edwards that God used to kindle the Great Awakening in New England in 1734–1735 was titled “The Excellency of Christ.” In it Edwards unfolds the glory of God’s Son by describing the “admirable conjunction of diverse excellencies in Christ.” His text is Revelation 5:5–6, and he unfolds the union of “diverse excellencies” in the Lion-Lamb. He shows how the glory of Christ is his combining of attributes that would seem to be utterly incompatible in one Person. In Jesus Christ, he says, meet infinite highness and infinite condescension; infinite justice and infinite grace; infinite glory and lowest humility; infinite majesty and transcendent meekness; deepest reverence toward God and equality with God; worthiness of good and the greatest
Patience under the suffering of evil; a great spirit of obedience and supreme dominion over heaven and earth; absolute sovereignty and perfect resignation; self-sufficiency and an entire trust and reliance on God.”
 
God calls us to love and admire the Son as He loves and admires His only Son. When we do, we bring delight to the Father and glory to the Son.
