Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
Here is something that I found on the internet that I wanted to share with you.
Without the Logos (the Word), there is no God.
Psalms 138:2 ....For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy NAME. Why does God magnify his word above all his NAME?
I could rescue you from a burning house and never give you my NAME. I could give you a large sum of money (not) and never give you my NAME. Our NAME is secondary to who we are. As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. Before you ever knew who Jesus was or ever heard his NAME He died for you. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. He was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word (logos) and the Word was with God and God was the Word. (Logos) In the original translation it ends by saying God was the Word. What does this mean?
The Logos is literally:
the act of speaking, speech, reason, the mental faculty of thinking, meditating, reasoning, calculating the faculty of speech, skill and practice in speaking
what is declared, a thought, declaration, aphorism, a weighty saying, a dictum, a maxim
Our body is Flesh. We are filled with Blood which gives us life. God’s body is Spirit. He is filled with the Word. His Word is His essence. His words are life. The Spirit of God moved and God said... Without Jesus was not anything made that was made.....
All things were made by Him by the Word of His mouth. Light was the first manifestation of God. In the beginning God created the Heaven and the Earth. Genesis 1:1
John 1:1 predates that verse as it tells us In the beginning was the Word (logos) and the Logos was God. Then the Word, the very mind and thought of God spoke and created by the breath of His mouth Psalms 33:6
You CANNOT separate the Word of God from God. That would be akin to trying to separate our thoughts and words from ourselves. They are more than inextricably linked to us, rather they ARE us.
The Word, which is the very mind, thoughts, voice, and mediation of God was innate in the very God of Heaven who is Spirit. God purchased the Church with his own blood Acts 20:28. That Word and Spirit was tabernacled among us. the Ark of the covenant being a picture of God himself. The Gold representing Deity and the wood representing humanity.
Jesus is the ONLY begotten of the Father. He came forth from or emanated from Him. To wit that God was in Christ (Christ being the manifestation of God) Christ made God visible. Christ aside from God does not exist. The God of Heaven is who made Christ Christ.
Isaiah 43:11, I even I am The Lord and beside me there is no savior. Luke 2:11, For unto you is born this Day a Savior which is Christ The Lord. Lastly but not finally. Without God there is no Christ. God is who makes Christ, Christ. Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36
Jesus is the Mighty God. Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but NOW is made manifest to his saints: Colossians 1:26. God made man a little lower than the Angels. Christ was made lower also.
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. Hebrews 2:9. God made man, God came as man. That man, our intercessor was given all power in heaven and earth. He was filled with ALL the Spirit of God.
For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. John 3:34. Without measure Jesus Christ was filled. God, all of God, not the second person in the trinity, was in Christ.
