JOHN 1:14: The Glory of the Son

1 Jn.1:1-2

1. The Glory of His Unction

Acts 10:38 – How God anointed Jesus…

But His anointing was not on earth
He was foreordained – from the foundation

CHRISTOS – The Anointed One
Not an but the Anointed One

The Glorious Ordination Service of Christ (Heb.1:8-14)
The Declaration (Heb.5:4-6,10)
The Order (Heb. 7:1-24): According to Promise and Not According to Law (i.e. not Aaronic)
1. It is Eternal: Melchizedekian Order (v.3, Without Beginning, Without End)
2. Made after the power of an endless life (v.16,17)
3. Made by God’s Oath (v.21,28)
4. An Unchangeable Priesthood (v.24)

PRIEST: Represents Man to God – MEDIATOR, PEACEMAKER, BRIDGE BUILDER - ETERNALLY
Therefore, ALL prayer is only accepted in JESUS’ NAME

UNCTION:
1. Gives authority over all flesh (Jn.17:2)
2. Gives authority to give eternal life
3. Gives authority to manifest God’s Name (v.6,26)
4. Gives authority to pass on God’s Words (v.8)
5. Gives authority to pray (v.9)
6. Gives authority to sanctify (v.19)

Earthly Priests:
shadows that pass away
approach with fear and trembling


The Shekinah that dwelt in the Holiest has now dwelt among us in flesh and blood: IMMANUEL
The Glory of God is wrapped in the nature of man

HE IS THE TEMPLE
HE IS THE HIGH PRIEST
HE IS THE SACRIFICE
HE IS THE GLORY OF THE ETERNAL GOD

Anointing by the Spirit

He gave us the Spirit
The Anointing within us (1Jn. 2:20,27)
Are we doing what Christ did (Acts.10:38)
Greater things…


2. The Glory of His Passion

The disciples noticed something magnificent about Jesus. He was zealous for His Father.
- When He overturned the tables of changers in the temple
- When He spoke with authority before the Scribes and leaders
- When He wept for Jerusalem
- When He prayed to the His Father in His agony

Can you see the zeal of the Son of God? It is glorious.

To His parents: “Wist ye not that I must be about my Father’s business?” Luke 2:48
To the people at the temple, He cried out: “Take these things away. Make NOT my Father’s house an house of merchandise!” Jn.2:16

The Disciples remembered Jn.2:17, “The zeal of Thy house has eaten me up.”

It aches my heart when I see people, Christians, possessed by some other passions – money, pleasure, earthly things…

Haggai 1:3,4,9; CALL 1:8; 2:15

“I have kept whom You gave” He did it for the Father. He drank the cup for His love.

Can’t you see the passion, when each time in this Chapter He says “Father!” v.1,5,11,25


3. The Glory of His Salvation

The Wisdom – Mystery 1Cor.2:7-10

1Pt.1:10-12; Eph.1:18-21; Col.1:26,27

A freedom that is true
A forgiveness that is forever
A life that will never end
An inheritance that will never perish
A joy that is fully satisfied
A glory that never fades
A kingdom that remains forever
In which dwells righteousness and truth

A GLORIOUS SALVATION
A GLORIOUS GOSPEL
LET’S PROCLAIM IT

Is Water Baptism Necessary Before Partaking in Lord's Supper

"Last Supper" by Giovanni Domenico Tiepolo (1750) Yes, it is. Water baptism identifies one with the redemption work of Jesus Christ, with His death, burial, and resurrection. It is anticipated of visible identification with Christ and His Church. Every person has the personal responsibility to examine him/herself before deciding to partake in the Lord's Table. The Bible makes it clear that those who chose not to be baptized were rejecting the counsel of God (Lk.7:30). In a mixed congregation, it is not possible to always know who is worthy to partake of the Table; however, the minister must encourage only those who have been baptized for remission of sins (not just as a ritual but by faith in Jesus Christ) to partake of the Table. Before Jesus sat down to dip bread in the cup, He washed His disciples' feet. He makes the statement that they are already "washed" and only need feet to be washed. Of course, this may not explicitly/only refer to their baptism, fo

Matthew 6:31-33

"Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For after all these things the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Mat 6:31-33) The original sense of nakedness was from that deep insecurity of autonomy that sprung from man's first alienation from God due to sin-- spiritual death. Seeking God marks man's refusal to stay alienated by turning towards His Maker in whom alone is Covering and true Security and no reason to be ashamed anymore.

Placebo and the Philosophy of Mind and Matter in Drug Research

A placebo is a non-therapeutic substance administered under the camouflage of medication to deceive patients into believing that they are receiving medications; this done solely for psychological and not for physiological effects. Placebo may usually be used to compare its effects with the effects of other drugs in drug research. Let's take the case of an experiment that tries to establish whether a particular drug, say to treat weariness, is genuine or merely has the effects of a placebo. Suppose 20 candidates are chosen for this experiment. 10 are given the drug and the rest are put on a placebo while they are told that the placebo is a genuine medication. They need to make sure that the deception is well carried on for the success of the experiment. If both the groups make similar improvements after taking the treatments, the new drug seems to only function as a placebo in effect. The basic hypothesis of the placebo raises the question of mind over matter. Of course, this pushes
