Title [2009] Jesus is One with God
Contents
The text is from John 10:30-39
First, it reveals and testifies that there is oneness in the name. (John 17:1,6,11) The name Jesus is the name of the Father given by the Father. The name Jesus is not a name given by anyone. (Matthew 1:20,21) It is the name of God that God gave to Mary through an angel. The original name of God is Yahweh. When that God became flesh (incarnated) and came to this world in the form of a man, he came in the name of Jesus. The name of Jesus is the holy and exalted name of God. Therefore, even if the unclean spirits hear the name of Jesus, they are driven out, the sickness leaves, and the work of the devil is put to a halt. (1 John 3:8) If you pray in that name, Jesus is testifying that your heavenly Father will hear you.
Second, Jesus is the Son of God.
Third, Jesus was before the foundation of the world. (John 1:15; 8:58; 17:5, Col 1:15, Hebrews 1:2)
John 1:10 "He was in the world, and the world was made through him, and the world did not know him..." Verse 11, "He came to his own land, and his people did not receive him." He was the Son of God who existed before the foundation of the world, and who preceded Adam, that is, the Son of God who was with God before the foundation of the world.
Fourth, Jesus is the body (image). (Philippians 2:6-11, 2 Corinthians 4:4, Col 1:15,17, Hebrews 1:3)
Genesis 1:26 “we made man in our image, in our likeness” In the original language, “we” is the first-person plural, in which the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were in close consultation and cooperation in the creation of man. is an expression representing
John 14:9 “He who has seen me has seen the Father; why do you say, ‘Show the Father’?”
God the Father is the invisible God, the Son Jesus is the visible God, and the Holy Spirit is God within us.
