The mystery of the Godhead is deep. In fact, it is so deep, that our finite human minds can’t fully comprehend it.
Nevertheless, according to both, the Old and New Testaments, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are God, and God is of One substance. So, ontologically, the Father, Son and Spirit are equal.
No one has seen God (Elohim, the Supreme Judge, the Father), but Yeshua (Jesus) said, if you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.
Yeshua also said that He and the Father were One. (Which to a Jew most assuredly meant that Yeshua was God, because, to a Jew, the most important passage in the Old Testament was the “Shema”, in which Yahweh said that He was One). Deuteronomy 6:4
There are three “offices” in the Godhead. The Father sits in the office of Supreme Judge. The Son sits in the office of Mediator. The Holy Spirit, is the personality and power of God manifested, Who carries out the will of the Supreme Judge, and the Mediator.
Now, most people can understand, who the Father and The Spirit is, however, they can’t understand who the Son is.
So Who is the Son?
The Son
In the Old Testament, Yahweh called the people, and angels, who He placed in leadership, and anointed with His Spirit, His sons. This has caused confusion, in the minds of some. Some people mistakenly think that the Son is the highest ranking angel, that is, the Jehovah Witnesses mistakenly believe that the Son is the archangel Michael.
In the Scriptures, Yahweh plainly says that Yeshua is not an angel of any order. In fact, the Scriptures say that Yahweh commanded all the angels to worship Yeshua. (Hebrews 1:13,1:6)
Jesus is the Creator. Jesus is Yahweh (the Everlasting Father) manifested to us in human flesh.
Not only is there a Jehovah Witness Jesus. There is a New Age Jesus. There is a Muslim Jesus. There is a Catholic Jesus. There is a Hindu Jesus. There is a Buddhist Jesus. There is a Mormon Jesus.
In these religions, Jesus is an enlightened teacher, a good man, a prophet, a false God and ineffective mediator, a moral teacher, a spirit guide, a spirit child of God, and, of course, an arch angel.
None of these Jesus(s) can save, because they are false Jesus(s).
The real Jesus is the Jesus of the Scriptures.
The Real Jesus
Isaiah and Jeremiah said that the Promised Seed (the Messiah) would be Yahweh in human flesh. Isaiah 9:6; Jeremiah 23:6
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John said Yeshua was Yahweh in human flesh. (Matthew 1:23; Mark 12:35-37; Luke 20:41-44; John 8:58)
Yeshua claimed to be Yahweh in the flesh. (John 8:24, 8:58)
Peter acknowledged that Jesus was God. (Matthew 16:16)
Thomas acknowledged that Jesus was God. (John 20:28)
John acknowledged that Jesus was God, and said that if we deny that the Messiah (Yahweh) has come in the flesh, we are under the control of the anti-Christ spirit. (Rev 1:18; 1John 4:3)
The apostle Paul acknowledged that Jesus was God, and warned us not to accept a false Jesus. (Colossians 2:9; 2Corinthians 11:4)
The Divine Jesus, whose blood perfectly reconciled us to Yahweh (united us with Yahweh forever), is the only Jesus, who can save us.
This is why this is such an important issue.
Jesus is worthy of our worship, so acknowledge Him as God.
The Mystery
Yahweh showed His great love for us, by sending His Spirit into Mary’s womb. In Mary’s womb, Yahweh’s Spirit breathed life into “the seed of the woman” (Mary’s egg). Yahweh’s Spirit took Mary’s raw material, and built a human body out of it.
This human body allowed Yahweh to live with man in a tangible way. Consequently, one of Yeshua’s names is “Immanuel” (God with us).
Yahweh’s Spirit lived in a human body, and He named this human body Yeshua. This is why Yeshua said that He and Yahweh were One.
Yahweh was in Yeshua reconciling the world unto Himself. (2Corinthians 5:19)
Through Yeshua, Yahweh walked and talked with man on the earth.
Through Yeshua, we have seen Yahweh.
Through Yeshua, Yahweh demonstrated His great love for us.
How did Yahweh demonstrate His great love for us?
Well, it is written, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” Yeshua went beyond this perfect human love; Yeshua willingly laid down His life to save His enemies. That is, Yeshua loved us, and died for us, while we were yet sinners.
The Paradox
So, did Yahweh (the Everlasting Father) die when Yeshua died physically on the execution stake (cross)? No way! If the Everlasting Father died, then He would not be the Everlasting Father, would He?
No, the body that Yahweh’s Spirit lived in died, and this body no longer housed Yahweh’s Spirit.
Three days later, Yahweh’s Spirit came upon Yeshua’s lifeless body, and breathed life into it, and glorified it.
Fourty days later, Yahweh’s Spirit withdrew into the heavenly realm, taking Yeshua’s physical body to Heaven.
Then, ten days later, during the feast of Pentecost, Yahweh sent His Spirit back to the earth to indwell everyone, who believed in Yeshua.
So, what does it mean to “believe in Yeshua”?
It means to believe that He is Yahweh (Perfect Love) come down from Heaven to save us.
Everyone, who confesses Yeshua as LORD (Yahweh), will be saved.
Everyone, who denies Yeshua is LORD (Yahweh), will not be saved.
One day, not too long from now, Yahweh will make it painfully obvious that He came to the earth as Yeshua, and out of fear, and terror, every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Yeshua is LORD (Yahweh).
Don’t wait until that day!
Today is the day of salvation.
Today, Yeshua asks you, “who do you say I am?”
