He (Jesus) was the Word of God in heaven in the beginning. John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” John 1:2 “The same was in the beginning with God.” John 1:3 “All things were made by him  and without him was not anything made that was made”  John 1:10 “He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.”  Read all of chapter 1 of  John to get the entire impact of what this is saying.

People know about Him, but do not know Him in full truth. It is difficult for mankind to look with spiritual eyes. We are too familiar with looking with our physical eyes.  He is the Truth He (Jesus) is not a man and never was a man. Jesus took on the form and flesh of man when He came to earth to save His creation.  The Word of the Living God took on the form of man and the name of Jesus (which means Saviour) when He came to this earth to save us from sin, Satan, and ourselves.  He rose from the grave to destroy death.  You and I have eternal life given to us by Jesus when we are saved. He gave us a visual of that eternal life when He rose from the grave on the third day.  We take on His righteousness and eternal life when we accept Him as our Savior.  He (Jesus) was Emmanuel (God with us). 

Remember that this is why there is an attack on the name of JESUS.  The attack is not on the name God or the Holy Spirit.  The name God is used in such a generic way that many religions use it as the name of their deity.  They are not attacking the Holy Spirit, because there again they also use this term casually.

Let me put in Scripture here that will help us understand what we are dealing with.  All Scriptures I quote are from the KJV Bible.

Philippians 2:5 “Let this mind be in you, which was in Christ Jesus:” Philippians 2:6 “Who being in the form of God  thought it not robbery to be equal with God:”

Philippians 2:7 “But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in likeness of men:” Philippians 2:8 “and being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” Philippians 2 :9 “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:” Philippians 2:10 “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;” Philippians 2:11 “And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” We must understand there is a move in our world to bring Jesus down to the level of mankind. This attack is focused on the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ. These same people would agree that a man named Jesus lived. Most of them will even agree that He was a great teacher, healer and prophet. Some believe that other prophets were equal with Jesus. That could not and can not be because Jesus was Creator and these other prophets were part of His creation.

Focusing on Jesus does not in any way diminish the Father God or the Holy Ghost.. The Bible says in John 4:24 “God is a spirit and they that worship him must worship in spirit and in truth. “ This is printed in red in the Bible which means that Jesus spoke these words.

In 1 John 5:7 speaks of the Father, Word, and Holy Ghost separately and then says they are one. 1 John 5:7  “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” I believe they are One in the Spirit. Each has a separate function. On a down to earth explanation we might say Father God had the plan, Jesus carried the plan out, and the Holy Ghost is our Comforter, Teacher, and Guide.

This is explained and covered fully in Colossians 2:8 “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.”  In verse 9 we see Father, Word and Holy Ghost operating in Jesus. Colossians 2:9 “For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily.”  Notice Jesus represented all three in His body.  Jesus’ stay on the earth to save mankind was a collective decision of Father, Son and Holy Ghost. His Spirit was housed in a body for His stay on earth. The Spirit within that body was Emmanuel (God with us). Matthew 1:23 “Behold a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”  

If you were to open a chronological Bible, the very first verses would be John 1 verses 1 & 2 not Genesis chapter 1.  John1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”  John 1:2 “The same was in the beginning with God.”

You see, before the earth was, the One you and I call Jesus was in fact the Word of God. He was Creator God as we read in John1:3 “All things were made by Him; and without him was not anything made that was made.”

We can easily see from this why Jesus (Creator God) would come to this earth to save His creation.

Someone might ask, how do we know the Word is speaking of Jesus?  The answer is in John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” 

This Word is the same as the One we call Jesus. The Word became Jesus for His stay on the earth. Jesus means Savior.  Jesus is called by 3 different names in the Bible. Each name He was called by was for the purpose of telling what He was doing at that time.

He (Jesus) was the Word at the beginning and at the ending as we read in Revelation19:13 “And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called the Word of God.

In Revelation 22;13 we read of Jesus’ eternal life.  Revelation 22:13 “I am alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”

There is absolutely no denying that the One you and I call Jesus was there at the planning of the universe and especially the earth. No one or nothing existed before the beginning , and Jesus says He is the beginning.

One of the names He is called by is I Am. I Am means the One who eternally exists in the present tense. At the burning bush, Moses asked the voice from the fire in the bush what his name was. The voice answered, I AM that I AM. When Jesus was on the mount of Gethsemane and the soldiers came to get Him; He asked them who they wanted and Jesus replied, I AM He. The soldiers fell backward on the ground at the power of His reply.  John18:4 “Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye?” John 18:5 “They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.” John 18:6 “As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.”   Another example of Jesus calling himself  I Am is in John 8:58 “ Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily,  I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.”

In Revelation 22:13 we read of Jesus’ eternal life.  Revelation 22:13 “I am alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”

There is absolutely no denying that the One you and I call Jesus was there at the planning of the universe and especially the earth. No one or nothing existed before the beginning , and Jesus says He is the beginning.

Are you ready for a personal relationship with this man we call Jesus?

Have you come to the point in your life where you are tired of being sick and tired?  When you come to Jesus, you become what the Bible calls a new creature ( 2 Corinthians 5:17 ), old things pass away and all things become new.
