Well, I am not exactly sure, because I wasn't there. I have a feeling that he had a mind blowing experience that some people call cosmic consciousness, enlightenment, whatever you might want to call it. Many people have experienced such states of consciousness, and it's actually very well documented in a book called Cosmic Consciousness, by Richard M. Bucke M.D. So, Jesus had this experience, and was trying to convey this to the people around him in the language and context of the Hebrew culture.
I guess it really depends on what Jesus meant by "son of God," checking my resources, no one really knows. I find it hard to believe that this was a literal statement in the terms of today. I don't think that Jesus was some kind of child of an old man "upstairs" because it just seems absurd. Now, if I look in the old testament, I find similar terms like "sons of men" which seems to refer to humanity or the human race. The phrase, "sons of God" is mentioned in the old testament (Genesis 6:2 and 4) and it seems logical to infer that a "son of god" meant something to the extent of "of the nature of the Divine" rather than having more of a literal meaning. Of course, I am not an authority on the subject, so you can take my opinion or leave it. I just thought I would put my two cents in.

John 17:3,5,24; Col.1:15-17; Rev.3:14; Jesus is the first creation created in the image of God, Jesus is before the world was, before angels. Job.38:4-7; Angels see and aged old earth, prepared ages for habitation. Angels are called morning stars and sons of God.
Job 2:1,2; Satan Eze.28:13-15; the cherub angel anointed over Eden was with sons of God. Rev.22:16; Jesus is the bright and morning star. Jesus is above all Heb.1:1-13;All is waiting for Satan and 1/3 unholy angels as enemies to be cast down to footstool earth. Satan will have a short time to the reign of Christ and no Satan for 1000 years. This world ends.
JESUS IS SON OF GOD

According to the bible Jesus was the first of the sons of God (Colossians 1:15-17 Job 1:6, 2:1 and 38:4-7) God sent his first of the sons that he has in heaven (John 3:16, Revelation 3:14) Jesus when get baptized received the Hoyl Spirit and remembered who was he the first of the sons of God.

It was not on earth that Jesus knew He was the Son of God. Jesus has always been the Son of God. Jesus was born as the Son of God and before being born, He was the Son of God in Heaven.

Well the most evident point is at the baptism when the voice from heaven says, "This is my Son, with whom I am well pleased"

Jesus was not god's "son". He was an anti-slavery activist and organizer, guided by god as was Spartacus who lost all of his followers to crufixion. Learn more at : http://www.angeloftruth.com
