THE PERSON OF JESUS-
- THE PERSON OF JESUS
🍯In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1 :1
JESUS is the Word of God made flesh. Life is spiritual (John 6:63). The physical world we live in isn't all there is, it is controlled from the spiritual world. Everything God says about (to) us is real in the spirit realm, only that to make them real in your life, you must speak them forth. The Word of God is activated by your words! (Mark 11:23, Prov 18:21).
Your words are 'spirit words', when you speak, you connect to the spirit realm. Our words are a connection between the earth realm and spirit realm. In other words, your life is a harvest of your words. Every time you speak, whatever you say is a reality in the spirit realm. We were created, not to just look like God but also to function like him (Mathew 12:37, Psalm 82:6). We release spirit and life through our words. The energy released by your words will either give life or produce death (Pro 18:21).
If God before the beginning was the Word, and He does not change, then "the Word" is still God. John, 1:14 - "The Word became flesh, and lived among us. We saw his glory, such glory as of the one and only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth." Before Jesus was born, the Holy Spirit had to come upon the Virgin Mary, and the Word she received from God, spoken to her through Angel Gabriel, became flesh in her. That Word became a child, and grew to become the man (the Spirit being in a dirt body), Christ Jesus. This means Jesus indeed is the Word of God become flesh; He is a result of the Word that was spoken to Mary.
🤔 WHO REALLY THEN IS JESUS?
Isaiah, 9:6 - " 'For to us a child is born. To us a son is given; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
From the above scripture we discover truly a child was born but a Son had to be given. God gave Christ (Son) i.e. Mary is the mother of Jesus but not Christ! Who therefore is really Jesus the Son of God? "Son of God" means God in the flesh. And Jesus told the Samaritan woman in John 4:24, God is a Spirit... Implying, that He doesn't have a physical body. Who is Jesus? Jesus is the body of God.
🍅 Colossians, 2:9 - For in him all the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily. This means the fullness (person), the totality of divinity is resident in the body of Jesus. When Jesus walked the earth, all divinity was at home in Him. He was God alive; walking and talking in a man's body. This is why Jesus said, "If you see the son (me),you have seen the father."
When we talk about Jesus, we talk about God, He is God in flesh. When we pray, don't think we're praying through a highly honoured man; Jesus is the buffet from heaven, the embodiment of Deity, the totality of all knowledge and all of God's wisdom (Isaiah 53:10-11, James 3:17, 1Cori 1:4-8,30). When He walked the streets of Galilee, He was wisdom in human flesh, taking His steps on earth. Jesus was never some an ordinary man that was highly honoured or empowered of God; He is the Power of God! 1Corinthians, 1:18 - "For the word (preaching) of the cross is foolishness to those who are dying, but to us who are saved it is the power of God." With this understanding of the Word, praying in the name of Jesus is weapon!
