The Divine Counsel.
There was a Divine Counsel in Heaven regarding Creation. It was a cooperative effort involving the Sovereign Will of each Member of the Godhead. Jesus was there. The Holy Ghost was there. God the Father was there.
The pre-incarnate Jesus is clothed in the Splendor and Glory of the Omni-powerful God. He is seen sharing co-equally with Him in all things.
He is Omniscient and Omnipresent as well as Omnipotent. He is not just a “babe born in a stable and wrapped in rags”… He is God. He is the Eternal LOGOS. He is the Creative Agent of all that came into being as God Spoke: “Let there be…!”
Jesus is the Force and the Power behind Creation.
He was in the world, and the world was made by Him… John 1:10
Heaven is His Domain and the earth is His footstool… By Him and through Him all things consist (hold together).
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. Col 1:17
In order for us to really behold His Glory, we have to transition from our “Bible Story” concept of Jesus… “Meek and mild…” as a “Helpless child…” Our early concept of Jesus has, for the most part, remained unchanged. We have greater revelation therefore we must leave the “principles” and move on into the “perfection” of our knowledge about Jesus.
Some see Him as broken and bleeding and dead… impaled on a cross… the victim of hatred and religious prejudice. Some can only behold a Dead Jesus. They see the Crown of Thorns and the Bleeding Side and the Beaten Back. They are moved to pity Him and feel sorry for Him. They have developed a concept of His Human Limitations and see Him as weak and helpless.
- He is All-Powerful.
- He is Deity Personified.
- He is the Face of God.
- He is Majestic, He is Awesome,
- He is Originator, Creator and Sustainer…
- He is the All in All…
- He is the Great I AM…
- He is LORD OF ALL
All hail the power of Jesus Name,
Let angels prostrate fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown Him Lord of all!
