God, the Son


In the book of Hebrews (one of the books in the Bible), chapter one, we can read more about God the father, and his son Jesus Christ. In the following excerpts you can see how the Father addresses his son. The Father, speaking to his son Jesus Christ, refer to him as God and give him the credit for creating the universe. When you begin to study the Bible you will find that God is one, existing in three persons. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Sounds complicated, eh? Then again, He is God and I'm not. 

Below, I have quoted from the Book of Hebrews, chapter 1. I'm using the New Living Translation here, it's using a more modern language and is easier to understand. When you check it against the King James version, you find it it says the same things, but is much easier to read. 




Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets.  And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.  The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. 

But to the Son he says,

“Your throne, O God, endures forever and ever.
    You rule with a scepter of justice.
 You love justice and hate evil.
    Therefore, O God, your God has anointed you,
    pouring out the oil of joy on you more than on anyone else.”

 He also says to the Son,

“In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundation of the earth
    and made the heavens with your hands.
 Hebrews, chapter 1

    Intressant. Och mina tankar fördes till Fil 2:6-11..."för att alla ska bekänna att Jesus Kristus är Herre."

Is Jesus God?

Who is Jesus? If you do a quick search online you will find that all the major religions view Jesus as anything from a moral man to an incarnation of God. Except for Judaism, where Jesus is thought of as a false prophet. It's interesting that people all over the world, with different religious beliefs, often have a very high regard of Jesus.   What does the Bible say about Jesus and who he was? In this short text from a confrontation between the Jewish religious leaders and Jesus, Jesus equaled himself with God, infuriating the Jews.  "Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” “You are not yet fifty years old,” they said to him, “and you have seen Abraham!” “Very truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “before Abraham was born, I am! ” At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds. John 8:56-59   In the Old Testament when God spoke to Moses in the burning bush,...

Jesus Is Not A Religion.

Jesus came for the poor and brokenhearted. If life has beat you up, if you feel like giving up, then lift your eyes, open your heart, because Jesus Christ is knocking at your door. If you accept his invitation to follow him, he will totally transform your life. Even if you are walking through the valley of shadow of death, His light will light up the path in front of you. You were created because God loves you, even before the world began. You are not here by chance. God wants to give you life and light a fire in your soul. He wants you to experience the greatest adventure that ever existed. The awesome journey of following Jesus Christ. To follow Jesus is not a religion; it’s a personal, intimate relationship with God himself. It’s life at it’s best. We are not just saved to escape hell and get into heaven. We are saved so that we can begin to experience God already, here on earth. The problem is that most people only think of Jesus as a ticket to heaven, when he is so much more than...

You!

In the light of the day, I can see the beauty of the world. At night when the world is dark, I see the greatness of the universe. Why is it so hard for us to accept that there is a God that created it all? For thousands of years man has walked the earth and looked up at the stars. For thousands of years the world has existed, but not you. The world did not need you, it existed anyway. The sounds of laughter and tears echoes from the past, but you were not a part of it. If God did not create the universe and everything in it, where did you come from? In comparison to the universe, you are so tiny that it seems impossible that you even are here. Is it not strange that you are here? A miracle took place the moment you were born. Your chance! Dig your feet down on a warm sandy beach. You can feel it, Can’t you? Look up at the stars. You can see them, right? Close your eyes and listen, what do you hear? Perhaps you hear the sound of the ocean, or maybe you hear the sound of traffic on a...
