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

A Tale of Something, or Nothing, and God

In the beginning was God and nothing. Then, God created something out of nothing. But, soon that something forgot she was once a nothing. And, forgetting herself and God, she assumed herself to be everything. And, assuming herself to be everything, she died to everything else and God. After many days, when this something had run out of everything she got, She came to her senses and "Who am I? Where am I?" she thought. Then, she realized she was a nothing without her God, And so returned to her original place in God. In the end was God and something.

Reliability, Predictability, and Paul the Octopus

Paul the Octopus has recently become very famous after his predictions for Germany and Spain during the World Cup 2010 came right. The 100% accuracy tag distinguishes him from any other diviner who had attempted a prediction during the World Cup. There were responses and reactions from various people including sportsmen, statesmen, and mathematicians. Whatever, the use of Paul has demonstrated once again that mankind's search for an extra-temporal, psychic foresight has not quelled through the historical calendar returning a decade over this millennium. The question before us is can such predictions as those of Paul be counted on as reliable (in other words, can they be seriously taken as true)? The mathematicians have plumped for chance. It's all a matter of probability, they say ( BBC News ). However, the argument of chance in itself is weak. The mathematics of chance will calculate that the probability of Paul being right seven times out of seven is 1/128. But, the conclusi...

Father, You Are the Artist of Canvas and Paint - Poem

Father, You are the artist of canvas and paint, Color my life with your blue skies and rain, In places of sunshine and places of pain, Till I am a picture of Him. Chorus: Make me a portrait of Paint His love o’er my sin, Make Him ashine, like a light through Till I am a picture of Him Father, I am a canvas for you to create Capture the look of Your smile in my face, But when You paint problems, Lord fill with Your grace, Till I am a picture of Him. Father, You paint my future according to Your plan, I trust You though sometimes I don’t understand, The rainbow of reasons that flow from Your hands, Till I am a picture of Him. - Sigi Varghese (Shared by Thomas T.
