The One Son, The Sonship
It should especially be noted that God has only one Son. If all His creations are His Sons, every one must be an integral part of the whole Sonship. The Sonship in its oneness transcends the sum of its parts. (T-2.VII.6:1-3)
God has but one Son, knowing them all as one. (T-9.VI.3:5)
Creation is the sum of all God’s Thoughts, in number infinite, and everywhere without all limit….We are creation; we the Sons of God. (W-pII.11.1:1, 4:1)
I am God’s Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His Love resides. I am His holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity abides His Own. (W-pII.14.1:1-6)
Christ
The Son has fallen asleep but Christ never has and never will. “Christ has never slept” (T-12.VI.5:4).
the Course says, “God did not will to be alone” (T-11.I.6:3), He created a Son. This Son is called the Christ. And because, as the Course says, “Giving Himself is all He knows” (T-14.IV.3:2), God gave all of Himself into the creation of this Son. He therefore gave the Christ all of His attributes, all of His Nature, all of His Being. The Christ is therefore the complete equal of God in every respect, except one: God created Christ, Christ did not create God. (Robert Perry)
Christ is the Self the Sonship shares, as God shares His Self with Christ. (T-15.V.10:10)
Christ is the extension of the Love and the Loveliness of God, as perfect as His Creator and at peace with Him. (T-11.IV.7:5)
beloved and holy and only–begotten child of God
Listen well to this greeting. Greetings onto you, beloved and holy and only–begotten child of God. This is in truth, the truth of who you are. This is in reality all that you can be. For before the time when the first stars were set in the heavens, already did you abide as your Father has created you to be. No, not as the mind would show you yourself. There was not such a thing as what you know as a body. There was not such a thing as a thought of temporality. There was not the trace of the thought of birth, and therefore, no concept or experience of what you would call death. In that ancient beginning, before time is, already were you created whole and complete, the perfect loving extension of the mind of God. And God is but love. This being true, it is true always. There is not a moment in time in which this truth is interrupted. There is not a moment in any of your experience in which the real world ceases to be.

Christ the King
Lord (Kyrios)
Many Christian denominations consider the kingly office of Christ to be one of the threefold offices: Christ is a prophet, priest, and king.
In the Gospel of Luke, the angel Gabriel proclaims to Mary, "Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end."
In the Book of Revelation (17:14) it is declared that the Lamb is "King of kings, and Lord of lords".
INRI: Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdæorvm
INRI represents the Latin inscription Iesvs Nazarenvs Rex Ivdæorvm (Iesus Nazarenus, Rex Iudaeorum), which in English translates to "Jesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews" (John 19:19).[21] John 19:20 states that this was written in three languages – Hebrew,[a] Latin, and Greek – and was put on the cross of Jesus.
After the trial by Pilate and after the flagellation of Christ episode, the soldiers mock Jesus as the King of Jews by putting a purple robe (that signifies royal status) on him, place a Crown of Thorns on his head, and beat and mistreat him in Matthew 27:29–30, Mark 15:17–19 and John 19:2–3
The continued reliance on the use of the term king by the Judeans to press charges against Jesus is a key element of the final decision to crucify him.[3] In John 19:12 Pilate seeks to release Jesus, but the Jews object, saying: "If thou release this man, thou art not Caesar's friend: every one that maketh himself a king speaketh against Caesar", bringing the power of Caesar to the forefront of the discussion.[3] In John 19:12, the Jews then cry out: "Crucify him! ... We have no king but Caesar."
“Seated at the right hand of the Father”
"He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty" - The Apostles Creed
"The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.” - Psalm 110:1
In Matthew 26:64 and Mark 14:62 Jesus says to Caiaphas, "you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power". This is a reference to Daniel 7:13, in which Daniel sees a vision of "one like a son of man" coming to the Ancient of Days.
In "The Sheep and the Goats", one of the parables of Jesus, the sheep and goats are separated with the sheep on the right hand of God and the goats on the left hand.
mentioned in the New Testament as the place of Christ at Mark 16:19,[2] Luke 22:69,[3] Matthew 22:44[4] and 26:64, Acts 2:34 and 7:55, 1 Peter 3:22 and elsewhere.
In Jewish and Christian iconography, especially of the Late Antique and Early Medieval periods, the "Hand of God" or the "Right Hand of God" is a motif used to indicate the intervention in or approval of affairs on Earth by God.
Christ in Majesty & Glory
Christ in Majesty or Christ in Glory (Latin: Maiestas Domini)[a] is the Western Christian image of Christ seated on a throne as ruler of the world, always seen frontally in the centre of the composition, and often flanked by other sacred figures
The image develops from Early Christian art, as a depiction of the Heavenly throne as described in 1 Enoch, Daniel 7, and The Apocalypse of John.
Christ is one with the Father
What He creates is not apart from Him, and nowhere does the Father end, the Son begin as something separate from Him. (W-pI.132.12:4)
Christ knows of no separation from His Father, Who is His one relationship, in which He gives as His Father gives to Him. (T-15.VIII.4:7)
It was then what it is to become; the single voice Creator and creation share; the song the Son sings to the Father, Who returns the thanks it offers Him unto the Son. Endless the harmony, and endless, too, the joyous concord of the love they give forever to each other. (S-1.In.1:2-3)
