Closing Gaps
When Jesus is referred to as the only begotten Son, it carries the sense that He is the only Son. The "begotten" is, in the gap, easily skipped. I close gaps all the time. It comes, I would say, from my reading too fast in my case. I also type the same way. I leave usually small connecting words out and have to careful to edit them back in later.
But, back to the main point, this habit of mine gives me the sense Jesus is the only Son. But not the case, He has the power to make any of us, a son of God or daughter of God. I wish to emphasize the word power. If He is giving us power then that should not be glossed over.
Jesus even said we would do greater things than He Himself. That is quite a statement. Somewhat scary if you ask me. I do not quite feel up to it and it causes me some concern. Time is short for me to reach such a lofty position.
