Remember Genesis: How God spoke, saying “Let this and that happen”, and it happened. Well, before it happened, there was that Word going forth. It existed there until it came to pass as God had spoken. When God created, He pronounced what must be, and the word He spoke existed, to bring about what He said. The word was spoken and there was spirit that received each wisely spoken word, like a dutiful son learning from the Father teacher. All that was spoken mounted up into a corpus of words of wisdom from the Father, embodied in this Son. This is the Word, the Logos. It is a spirit matter. The spirit of the student of the words existed from the beginning. John in his gospel states that the Word then became flesh. Jesus Christ. This Word, the Son, brought light to all when the Creator, the Father, sent him into the world. God commended him for a span of several years by the miracles He gave His Son to do. God taught the disciples to hear and heed Jesus, His beloved Son, with whom He was well pleased. The Holy Spirit testifies of him too. “Consider the trees. They put forth buds and leaves. They do so by the power of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Consider the planets. They orbit faithfully. They do so by the power of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.” This is a divine message spoken in tongues, in a worship service, then interpreted identically by two people gifted with interpretation of the tongues. The Lord Jesus Christ’s name is so powerful in the universe. It all goes back to him being the Word of God, the Word of the Creator. We should listen to this man, the Son of God: Believing. Holding to his teachings. Christ died for you. He died on a cross. God than raised him from the dead and he lives today and forever, by God’s power. God has made this Jesus both Lord and Christ. By heeding his words, with belief in him and his name, people become disciples of him and he saves them from their sins. He was given the name Jesus because of this. It means he saves. He is the salvation sent by God the Father.
