THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD - PART 355

The message here is about JESUS being the embodiment of GOD‘S WORD, and not another’s Word. Indeed, the very same Word that was with God. How do we know this? Because the Word of God cannot be a distinct and separate person from God. For if God were to be separate and distinct from His own Word, then the Word of God would no longer be the Word of God, but rather attributed and ascribed to be words spoken by another distinct and separate person.

In the same context, if JESUS is not the embodiment of God’s Word our faith must be in vain. However, if on the other hand, JESUS is the embodiment of God’s Word as we assert here, then we have much consolation and rejoicing. For never has any man spoken the Words of comfort as this man has spoken. And similarly, never has there been such a man perform the miracles, signs, and wonders which He has performed. This man, without a sword has turned the world upside down. And inside out. And indeed shook the world system causing multitudes to abandon the religious and political mindset of the day. Yes, JESUS ushered in a new world order based upon the application of having faith in God!

So as the scriptures declare ... call His Name Jesus declared the angelic messenger for it is He who shall save His people from their sin! Further, JESUS is Immanuel meaning "God with us." Which explains why the angel accompanied with an army of other angels declared His Name to be JESUS.

Even now, as it was then those who oppose the Word of God declare that God has another name. But this message does not align with the scriptures. In fact, what we know from the scriptures is that Heaven declared JESUS as the only name given whereby anyone can be saved. This is why there is no salvation in any other name other than the name of JESUS. Yes that is correct. JESUS is above every other name in Heaven and earth. And in so doing, God declared that His Glory would not be given to another.

But we read that God has glorified His Son JESUS saying, "Let all the Angels of God worship Him." Again in Hebrews to the Son is declared, “Thy throne O’ God is forever and ever." Let's take this teaching one step further.

JHVH or JHWH are not names per se because as these are written, they are incommunicable. But in an effort to apply something that is of itself incommunicable men have endeavoured to make the incommunicable communicable. In fact, they insert vowels in a vain attempt to render a communicable name from the letters. Some religious institutions render the letters to be Jehovah while others Yahweh. Still, through the years both of the renderings are nothing more than an endeavour to obscure the name given which name is JESUS!

There are other scriptural references that are equally worth reviewing. For example, Pilate wrote JESUS of Nazareth, KING of the JEWS in three languages - Hebrew, Greek and Latin. As we know from the Bible, this did not rest well with the religious system of the day. Their collective desire was to erase the name "JESUS" from history. But Pilate had another idea when he determinedly told the religious opponents that "what I have written I have written."

What was the name written in three languages -- Hebrew, Greek and Latin? The name written was JESUS! Remember, the Word of God is coming to man. The Word of God is not coming out from man!

Paul asked the Lord the question of all questions. "Who are you Lord?" The LORD replied, "I AM JESUS." Now did the Lord mistakenly declare His name? No He did not. There are many descriptive revelatory titles addressing God, but there is only ONE name. This name is JESUS! In this name JESUS shall the Gentiles trust! For in JESUS dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. JESUS is GOD manifesting Himself as a Son.  Peace be. Stand in the offering plate.
