5 Revelations about Jesus:

1. Jesus, the Logos, is eternally pre-existent

  • “In the beginning WAS the Word”
  • Jesus is eternal
  • Jesus is not a created being
  • We ARE created beings

 

2. Jesus, the Logos, is distinct from the Father and bound in intimate fellowship with Him.

  • “The Word WAS with God”
  • The Father, Son and Holy Spirit exist eternally distinct from one another.
  • The three persons of the Godhead are in intimate fellowship with one another.

 

3. Jesus, the Logos, is God

  • "The Word WAS God"
  • Jesus is not merely a reflection of God
  • Jesus did not BECOME God
  • Jesus is the one, true God of everyone 

 

4. Jesus, the Logos, changed His status

  • “The Word BECAME flesh and dwelt among us”
  • Jesus is not merely a man, He is a God-man
  • “His words are not merely the words of a man, His words are the logos of God!

 

5. Jesus, the Logos, is the only One of His kind!

  • “We have seen the glory of the One and Only sent from the Father with grace and truth”
  •  “At the Name of Jesus, every knee shall bow in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord!”
