THE EXPRESSION AND EMBODIMENT OF DIVINITY – PASTOR CHRIS
For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell (Colossians 1:19).
The Lord Jesus is much more than a great or highly honoured religious leader; He’s the totality of divinity in flesh. He’s the embodiment of Deity. Titus 2:13 describes Him as “the great God”: “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.”
He’s also the totality of all wisdom and knowledge: Colossians 2:3, “In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Hallelujah! When He walked the streets of Galilee, Nazareth, and Jerusalem, that was Wisdom walking; that was Wisdom personified; God in the flesh was taking His steps upon the earth.
When this understanding dawns on your spirit, you’ll know what it truly means to be identified with the Lord Jesus and to pray in His Name. His Name has all authority in heaven, in earth, and under the earth. And in the Book of Revelation, the Bible tells us something staggering; when the Apostle John saw the great throne of Almighty God, the One seated upon it was the Lord Jesus. That tells you who He really is.
In the Old Testament, God revealed Himself to Israel through different names: Jehovah Rapha (the Lord my healer), Jehovah Tsidkenu (the Lord my righteousness), Jehovah Shalom (the Lord my peace), and so on. But the Bible says He has magnified His Word above His name (Psalm 138:2). Who’s the Word? Jesus Christ; He’s the Word made flesh.
Now the Bible says, “…at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:10-11). To know Him is to love Him, for He is the very expression of God’s person, glory, righteousness and love. Blessed be God!
PRAYERLord Jesus, I worship and adore you; you’re the greatest, the all-powerful and sovereign Lord of heaven and earth. You’re the great God of glory, saviour of the world, the King of righteousness and eternity. You’re gracious, glorious, ever-loving, faithful, true, and forever just. I live triumphantly in your Name, for you’re my life, my light and my all. Amen.
