The Unity Of The Trinity – Tuesday,
January 28th, 2014 – Pastor Chris
And without controversy great is the
mystery of godliness: God was manifest
in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of
angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up into
glory. (1 Timothy 3:16)
Someone once asked, "Didn't Jesus say
over and over that God is His Father, and
that He (Jesus) is not God; how come
many Christians still refer to Jesus as
God?" Well, Jesus never said He wasn't
God, but He did say that He had a Father!
He talked about His heavenly Father. In
John 16:10 for example, He said "...I go
to my Father...." Also, in John 14:28 He
said, "...If ye loved me, ye would rejoice,
because I said, I go unto the Father...."
However, it's important that you
understand the mystery and unity of the
trinity: the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The Bible says, "In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God" (John 1:1). Jesus is
Himself God. The fullness of the Godhead
dwells in Him bodily. When you see Jesus,
you wouldn't need to look out for the
Holy Spirit or the Father; He's the
complete embodiment of Deity. When
Philip asked Him "Lord, show us the
Father" (John 14:8), His response was
unequivocal; He said, "Anyone who has
seen me, has seen the Father" (John
14:9).
Jesus is the outward expression or image
of the unseen or the invisible God. The
Holy Spirit is the one who proceeds from
the Father; He's the doer, maker, or
creator of God's works, which He does in
the Name of Jesus. If you were to see
God, He'll appear as Jesus. If you were to
see the Holy Spirit, He'll appear as Jesus.
Remember, in John 14:16, Jesus called
the Holy Spirit "Allos Parakletos" (Greek),
which means "another of the same kind";
"another that's exactly like me."
Moreover, the book of Revelation shows
us that it's Jesus that's on the great
throne of God. So, "Why then does He
call "God" His Father?" You might want to
ask.
The reason is that Jesus is the Father's
Word made flesh. You can't separate a
man from His word; a man and his word
are one, because his word comes out of
him. Likewise, you can't separate God
from His Word, which is the reason Jesus
said, "I and my Father are one" (John
10:30); emphasizing the unity or oneness
of the Deity. Jesus stands in the place of
the Father, and in the place of the Holy
Spirit! It's a mystery to the ordinary
mind, but it's clearly understood with
spiritual understanding.
Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, I worship you, for in you
dwell all the divine fullness-the sum total
of the divine perfection, powers and
attributes of divinity. You're the king
eternal, gracious, loving, and kind! I love
you with all my heart! Blessed be your
Name forever!
Further Study: Revelation 1:8: I am Alpha
and Omega, the beginning and the
ending, saith the Lord, which is, and
which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty.
John 1:1-3: In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with God. All things were made
by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
