That's a really dumb question.

Jesus is our Celestial King, our Heavenly Brother, the King of Heaven, the Only Son of Almighty God begotten in the Holy Womb of Virgin Mary Holy Mother of Heaven and Earth.

Jesus was and is and ever will be the utmost direct and utmost beloved Son of God, and now, ever after since the moment of His Resurrection, He is glowingly sitting on God's right side out there in yonder Paradise. Almighty God elected His utmost favorite Son as the King of Heaven and Earth.

God had and has favorites, the original semitic People whose detailed annals are reported in the good old Holy Bible. Those originally created and elected People of God did not consciously know about Jesus until Jesus really was sent down among them by God, and so most of them even stubbornly sinfully refused to acknowledge that Jesus really was the utmost favorite Son of God that had been sent down to Earth in order to rescue from the original Adamitic Sin those sinful favorite People of God

As it is reported in the Holy Gospels, God's design was so that Jesus should be betrayed and caught and should be accused of blasfemy and of wanting to be the King of Israel, and so He was condemned to Holy Death and was nailed by the Roman Centurions? unto a huge wooden Holy Cross so that He should suffer hugely and die so that His Blood might wash away the original sin, and so also all the other sins, of the favorite People of God.

There is some sort of Most Holy Transcendental Meaning with a holy wondrous Life of its own behind all this that we are not able to grasp nor to fetch. Not yet. Maybe never!

Because Jesus is God. Christians serve once Almighty God, though the Trinity is God also, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. The Son, who is just as much God as the Father, became man so that he could free us from sin.

For God to have played favorites Jesus would have to not be God. But he was.

Jesus IS God in human form. In the Bible, Jesus's Father is not refered to by Joseph, He is refered to as God. Mary was only the carrier. Technically Jesus has no relatives. God did not play favorites, Jesus was just very important, and He never sinned. I mean in what ways do you see Jesus with special treatment? He was stranded in the desert with no food or water, being tempted by Satan. He was disrespected. He was wipped, had a crown of thorns put on top if His head, and had nails forced through His hands and feet. When He was crucified, God Himself had to turn His head. What part of that is God playing favorites? God could not let Jesus have mercy, because of His purpose.

Jesus is God's only BEGOTTEN Son, meaning He has always been here with His Father since the beginning. God created us, humans, from dirt/dust, and we (our bodies) have a beginning and an end. The only thing that we share in common with Jesus is having a soul that will last forever. But it may live in Heaven or hell, depending on our bodily lifestyle and faith. Jesus is our brethren just as all humans are brethren to each other because we are all creations of God's. But Jesus is the only Divine Son of God, the 2nd Person of God. We are only human, only mortal.

Jesus was God before He came to earth. He was already the first-born of all of God's children even before Adam and Eve were created. Jesus is the brother of those who trust in Him as Savior and Lord. Those who put their faith in His work of the cross - God gives the right to be adopted back into His family. Those who refuse to trust Jesus for right-standing with God are outside of the family and outsiders will not walk with God in the life to come.

Jesus is not the exception, he is the example. I believe God is everything, including grass, you, me, air and all. "I used to think God was like the sun", shining on some more than others. But now I feel enlightened enough to realize that "God is the sun, but God's so much more than the earth or the stars. God is creation, all in all." --Dr. Michael Beckwith

We are all. Jesus is part of a greater whole. We are part of that same whole with the same, infinite potential.

Have you seen the documentary, The Secret?

Jesus is God's only Son. We are heirs with Him, through Him. Then we are Gods children and God doesn't play favorites. Maybe some Bible study is in order.

Here is the big one.

We are not all children of God.
The operative word is NOT.
I just did a study, guess what, NOT all children of God.

These are the children of God.
Rom 9:8 That is, it is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants.
John 1:12 But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

Oh Oh, only Christians.
I thought I would look it up since I have heard it so often.

Not all Children of God!
WOWSER!

We are all God's children and Jesus is our brother. It amazes me what people read into the bible. If you're going to take it literally, read it correctly. Jesus never said he was the son of God, he said he was the son of man. It is others who claimed he was the son of God.

Also, Jesus was not sinless, he did many things wrong as a child.

Jesus is God, but god in mortal form. The holy trinity are all the same
God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus are the same person but different aspects. . . . .does that mean god has multiple personalities . . .if so . . .then wouldn't that explain polytheistic riligions? . . . .different aspects of the same person.
