Oh my Lord, my mediator, my intercessor, Yeshua, Lord God Almighty.


"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
Revelation 1:8 NASB


I come before You, acknowledging Your fullness of Deity in bodily form, that you are to rule over, for our completeness is in You.


For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority; Colossians 2:9‭-‬10 NASB


There is a Oneness of God, of this I am sure, but also a plurality in the manifestations, making them an us, but still One.


Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."Genesis 1:26 NASB


I suppose one could say Jesus Christ is a tangible manifestation of God. Wait a minute now, I don't want to come close to denying the Son of God, having the Glory of God.


For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and will then repay every man according to his deeds .Matthew 16:27 NASB


I also don't want to deny Christ as being an image of His Father.


He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.Colossians 1:15 NASB


That He sits at His right hand, acting as an intercessor on our behalf.


who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Romans 8:34 NASB


Let's also remember that we see that though He is at the right hand, He and His Father are in one throne together.


He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Revelation 3:21 NASB


Hold up, wait, so how can He be seperate, differentiated as unto Himself, but also included in Oneness of God? I think that the answers lies in Proverbs 25:2 and 2 Corinthians 3:18 and Hebrews 1:2-3.


It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter.
Proverbs 25:2 NASB


But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
2 Corinthians 3:18 NASB


in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world. And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:2‭-‬3 NASB


His thoughts are not ours, just as His ways are not ours. We are told it is wise not to lean on our own understanding. I believe explaining the deity of Christ in His entirety, speaks to the fullness of His Glory, which currently is not ours. I also think if we understood Him, then by that nature of comprehension, we remove from Him the throne; the exalting presence remains His and His alone. How can we worship that which we fully understand? He is a deity, not us.


"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the Lord .
Isaiah 55:8 NASB


Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding.
Proverbs 3:5 NASB


Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 1:24‭-‬25 NASB



David Sunday writes…


If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus. Jesus is the perfect image of God, and the exact representation of his being. Jesus alone makes the Father known. Indeed, no one can come to the Father except through him (John 14:6).


And C S. Spurgeon writes…


“He is everlastingly a father to those who trust in him.” Praise God for our eternal security in Christ, our Everlasting Father


I know He has put in me a ravenous hunger to know Him. I also accept the complete revelation of His Nature will only be seen through the coming of Christ in the fullness of God's Glory. I must wait for my Lord with reverence, with certainty, with eager anticipation, with expectancy, all while trusting with peace, resting if you will, in His timing to bring His complete unveiling to my consciousness. The authority of the deity dwells within, and the more I come into agreement with His ruling, His dominion, the more His power in my life is established. Yes, His being is not directly proportional to where I stand with Him, but His influence in my life is.


Praise the Lord for His Majestic presence known, for the choice to remain humble in His applicable attendance. May the mysteries continue to tickle my need to connect with His divine being remain alive… may it serve His purposes, to facilitate the growing of His Radiance, in the hearts and lives of us all.
