'Blood of the Lamb'
Rev 12:11a And they
overcame him (Satan) by the blood of the Lamb…
We can overcome Satan by the blood of the
Lamb.
The Word was God
John 1:1-2 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.
Our Almighty God (YHWH) who is the God of
Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, is One, who reveals to men in
the Triune Godhead (Holy Trinity) as the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Man can learn and follow the perfect unity,
harmony and divine love within this 'Holy Trinity'.
1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear witness in
heaven: the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Spirit; and these three are one. (KJV)
The Word made Flesh
John 1:14 And the Word
became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of
the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
In the last days of the Old Covenant (end of
Judaism), the Word was made flesh to become His only begotten Son, born of the
virgin Mary. He offered Himself to die on the cross as the sacrificial Lamb of
God.
Eph 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood,
the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace
The Triune Godhead
Mat 28:19 "Go therefore and make disciples of all
the nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit"
Our Lord Jesus ensured that His disciples
know that 'God the Son' was the Word made flesh. So every believer is baptized
in the name of the Father, and of the Son (Word made flesh) and of the Holy
Spirit.
The
Almighty God is One but reveals Himself to men in the new Triune Godhead or
Trinity as:-
1.God the Father so that we fathers
(Christian leaders) can learn from Him how to be the perfect loving father (or
pastor).
He provides, protects, teaches and empowers
his children and also chastises their disobedience so that they will bear the
peaceable fruit of righteousness.
Heb 12:11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the
present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of
righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
2.God the Son (the Word made flesh) so
that all Christians can learn from Jesus
a) how to
please the Father
John 8:29 "And He who sent Me is with Me. The
Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”
b) how to
obey the Father's commands from His perfect obedience
Phil 2:5,8 Let this mind be in you which was also in
Christ Jesus... And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and
became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
c) how to
love one another as He had loved us.
3. God the Holy Spirit
John 16:13 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth,
has come, He will guide you into all
truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He
will speak; and He will tell you things to come."
God gave the Spirit of truth to teach and
guide us into all truth so that we are free from worldly bondages, overcome the
wiles of Satan and understand end-time signs.
The Son Glorified
John 17:4-5
I have glorified You on the earth. I have
finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me
(the Son) together with Yourself, with the glory which I (the Word) had with
You before the world was.
Since Jesus (the Son) had completed His
mission on earth, He prayed the Father to give Him back the previous glory with
Him as the Word.
