In a beginning God: He alone ........
existed. (1 Cor 8:6)
Nothing existed outside of God: Zero!
Nada! Zilch! Nothing!
He dwelt in impenetrable light and He is
pure Spirit and always has been: No man has ever seen God as He is
not material or physical but pure spirit. (John 4:24) Hard for us to grasp that as all we
experience generally is on the physical level!
Then a strange thing happened: Something
of God (in human speak) broke through into the nothingness outside:
Never before had anything like this happened. John, at the beginning of his
Gospel uses the word "only begotten" to describe this: What came out
from God, as begotten, was referred to as The Word. This Word is today our highest authority on earth regarding whats true and whats not true.
Your Family Tree: The Relationship!
That Word is Jesus and You, I know, have fallen in love with Him ! {Watch Video and come back later}
The Lover Of My Soul
A Word is an
expression of the person: What is on their heart (Out of the fullness of the
heart the mouth speaks) Jesus is the exact expression of what is on God's heart:
the effulgence of God's glory Do you realise who your lover is in all His glory? He is truly a king
A Word is the nearest thing to spirit we can
even attempt to understand: Forget about visions and angels and apparitions!
Word in the scripture is a sort of cross-over between the spirit and the
material. Jesus said "The words I speak to you, they are spirit and they
are life: (John 6:63) You have fallen for the real thing! The fairest of 10,000!
More On His Background
The Word was there long before
the flood: before Adam & Eve: Before the down casting of the earth.
Before Babylon or before Rome! Later that Word actually became flesh and told
us :"God no one has ever seen. The only-begotten God, Who is in the bosom
of the Father, He unfolds Him" (John 1:18.) Your love affair with Him must be the most amazing thing ever to happen to you.
Hebrews 1 tells us that Jesus is
the effulgence of Gods glory: I know effulgence is a big word but
simply means what flows out from: Jesus is the expression of God and
without Him we would know absolutely nothing about God. On the positive side
"In Him, (Christ) are hid all the treasures of wisdom and
knowledge" (Col 2:3) Now you can ask anything of Him and he will bless you. What an exciting Life!
But what happened to you has also been the longing of many others. (Don't be jealous now) The Word began to express the
Father in creation and in verbal contact with man right from the start.: "God spoke .."
. God communicated with words in the past: Nearly four thousand times
in the Bible we find words or expressions such as: "And God said..."
God spoke to Moses (Exodus 3:4), about
1500 B.C.
God spoke to Samuel (1 Samuel 3:11),
about 1000 B.C
God spoke to Elijah (1
Kings 21:17), about 900 B.C.
God spoke to Isaiah (2 Kings 20:1),
about 700 B.C.
God spoke to Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:2),
about 600 B.C
God spoke to Ezekiel (Ezekiel 1:3),
about 600 B.C.
When you look up in the sky you think
you see the sun: But actually nobody has ever seen the sun: What they see is
the Effulgence of the sun: What comes out of it: Light and heat and
growth and life etc. Your love affair has brought you so close that you are one in spirit with the very image of the father.
You Must Really Be looking Forward To The Big day ...
I was reading Hebrews 1 and it says that Jesus is the exact image or emblem of God.
“Who, being the Effulgence of His glory and Emblem of His assumption, besides
carrying on all by His powerful declaration, making a cleansing of sins, is
seated at the right hand of the Majesty in the heights” (Heb 1:3) Jesus
expresses the thoughts of the Father and His word is billions of times superior
to pope or preacher: visions or traditions: traditions or ceremony,
Amazing God
Now everything God did or created was by
using The Word. Hebrews 1:2 tells us He made the worlds through Jesus
"Let there be ..." and there was: Sun, moon, stars, animals, weather,
Adam & Eve... all spoken into existence out of His Word (Jesus)
John
equates Jesus with the word saying: "In the beginning was the word, and
the word was toward God, and God was the word. This was in the beginning toward
God. All came into being through it, and apart from it not even one thing came
into being which has come into being."
