IS JESUS REALLY GOD? THURSDAY APRIL 13
TEXT: GENESIS 1: 26, 27
Key Verse: “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” 1 John 5: 7
If we say Jesus is the Son of God that does not mean He is not God Himself. Moses told the Israelites that there is only one God who demands our service and worship. This one God exists in three separate Persons. In Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. God reveals the plurality of Himself by saying “Let us make man”. God is speaking of Himself because angels do not have the image and likeness of God. Verse 27 makes us to understand that His plurality is still referring to Himself alone by saying “so God created man in his image. Though God exists in three forms or Personalities, but there is still plurality in Him. 1 John 5:7 makes it clearer mentioning the number of persons involved in the series of discussions in heaven. They are: The Father; The Word (The Son, Jesus); The Holy Ghost. This scripture went further to say that these three are one.
However Matthew 28: 19-20 reveals that they exist as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. The Word became the Son which is His redemptive name on earth. He is actually known and addressed as the Word in Heaven. Jesus, the Son of God and Messiah are His redemptive names on earth. When Jesus goes back to His eternal nature, He is the same in rank, power and existence with God.
Thought of the day: Yes, Jesus is really God.
Song of the day: Adonai, we worship You, Son of God, You are so great. . .
Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 13-14; Luke 14:1-24

August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be
