One God
“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man
Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in
Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.” (1 Timothy 2:5-7)
Today’s Morsel: One of the
most misunderstood doctrines in the church is the knowledge as to who Jesus
was. Yes, Jesus was the Son of God according to the flesh, but He was
also Almighty God. And this is where many are confused and mistaken in
their relationship with God. Speaking to the church at Corinth,
Paul informs them, “But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom
are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all
things, and we by him. Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge” (1
Corinthians 8:6-7) And he would inform Timothy, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto
the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” (1 Timothy 3:16) John writes of Jesus saying, “I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me
beareth witness of me. Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus
answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have
known my Father also… And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from
above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you,
that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye
shall die in your sins.”(John 8:18-19, 23-24) John also records, “When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son,
thy sins be forgiven thee. But there were certain of the scribes sitting there,
and reasoning in their hearts, Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies?
who can forgive sins but God only? And immediately when Jesus perceived in his
spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason
ye these things in your hearts? Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the
palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed,
and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to
forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise, and
take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house. And immediately he arose,
took up the bed, and went forth before them all; insomuch that they were all
amazed, and glorified God, saying, We never saw it on this fashion.” (Mark 2:5-12)
The revelation of truth only comes to those who really want to know.
Sing: The Mighty God is
Jesus, the Prince of Peace is He, the Everlasting Father, the King Eternally;
The Wonderful in Wisdom, by whom all things are made; The fullness of the
Godhead, in Jesus is displayed.
It’s all in Him, it’s all in Him, The fullness of the
Godhead, it's all in Him, It’s all in Him, it’s all in Him, the Mighty
God is Jesus and it’s all in Him.
Thought For Today: “And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an
understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is
true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal
life.”
(1 John 5:20)
