Jesus Series!!!

THE SHINING STAR

            Dear friends, the key to learning from, knowing and understanding who God is lies in the self-acknowledgement that you don’t know it all at the moment. You see, what you know of God at the moment isn’t anything compared to who He really is. There are those who know more than you about God and those who know less; the wise thing for you to do is to always quickly identify your ‘knowledge of God’ status when you communicate with other believers!

            So is Jesus Christ the way to God? Yes and much more! You see John 14:6 tells us Jesus is The Way, but it did not just stop there and say Jesus is the way to the Father! Rather Jesus says: I am the Way, Truth and Life! Jesus is the embodiment of all these! No one approaches the Father except in Jesus. Now who is the Father? To the Jews, the Father is Jehovah Elohim that is, God! But see, Jesus tells us more about who the Father is! John 14:9b tells us that seeing Jesus is the same as seeing the Father! So when you see Jesus, you see GOD! You must understand Jesus is who God is! Again verse 7 of this chapter confirms this.

            Glory! God did not leave us clueless, for He says in Colossians 2 verse 9 that the entirety of God dwells in human form in the person of Jesus. So my dear friends, be careful not to think that Jesus is just the second person of the God-head! You see in Jesus every revelation of God is present; there is not a part / portion of who God is that is absent in Jesus! Hebrews 1:3 gives further illumination; it says that it is in Jesus Christ that you can see who God is. Jesus Christ is the visible radiance of the Invisible God, that is Jesus is the corporeal One in whom God is revealed.

            So it is in Jesus that we fully know and understand God, because in a baby’s words, Jesus is God simplified in human form so that humans can at least comprehend. So if you want to know if God makes people sick, look at Jesus did He cause sickness or did He drive sickness away, did He make provisions or did He destroy them? The answer of cause is evident and clear. Jesus shows us every part of who God is! That is why Heb.1:1 says in the old covenant God’s revelation to men was in portions, so you don’t understand God fully by looking at the deeds and acts in that testament, you understand and see God in Christ. This is who Moses saw in Deuteronomy 15:18 as explained in Heb. 11:27.

This is who Jesus is, He is only One via which eyes can see God; the Shining Star!
