Heavenly regulation of the message of the heavenly gospel has always been an integral part of this gospel. The first apostles of Jesus Christ were regulated in their preaching of it, and this regulating was primarily the work of the Holy Spirit given to them by the Father, God. The general commission from their risen Lord Jesus was to preach everywhere as they went, yet, as they went, its preaching was fine-tuned by the Holy Spirit. Submitting to this divine order is wise. Yet there can be a call to preach the gospel message openly, as is facilitated by modern technology such as the Web. There can be no silencing of the message entirely, so the command is still there to shout from the rooftops what is whispered in your ear, when it comes to the teachings of Jesus Christ and the ministry in his name by the Holy Spirit. In love for God, the commands God has given to Jesus, and Jesus in turn has administered to all—these commands can be taught to all. The whole world can hear. Yet in all this, it is still subject to regulation by the Holy Spirit in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. This name is that by which even the trees put forth their buds and leaves. It is cosmic in its scope. It reaches the ends of the universe. Yet it is all under authority of the Lord Jesus himself. And Jesus is forever going to subject himself to the One God who sent him as light into all the world. So too, this gospel message is subject to God the Father. It is this One True God who gives Jesus the utmost authority to be Lord over its distribution and administration.
