Messiah and King

Following his Resurrection, Jesus began his reign from the Messianic Throne as prophesied by David – Psalm 2:6-9.

Only Jesus is the Messiah and King of Israel, only he is God’s Anointed. There will never be another, and all competing claimants to this designation are imposters and liars. This same Jesus reigns over the Earth today. His Kingdom is a present reality, and his reign will be consummated when he returns – (1 Corinthians 15:24-28, Revelation 1:4-6).

The Name Above All Names

Because he sacrificed his life for others, God resurrected and exalted Jesus and installed him as Absolute Lord over all things.

Jesus is the only one who unveils the “mysteries of God,” only he is qualified to reveal the “unseen God.” Only in Christ are all the promises of God fulfilled. He unlocks the Hebrew Bible and discloses the “times and seasons.” The Crucified Messiah is the Absolute Sovereign over all things, and he reigns from the Divine Throne as “Lord” – (Revelation 5:9-14).

The Living Word

God has spoken clearly and decisively in His Son, the same Word by which God created life and the ages.

The Gospel of John begins by identifying Jesus as the ‘Logos’ (λογος), the “Word” through which God made all things. This theme is prominent in John’s Gospel. It builds on traditional ideas from the Hebrew Bible about God creating the world through His spoken Word. Jesus Christ is the Living Expression of that Divine word - (“By the word of the LORD were the heavens made…” - Psalm 33:6-9. Compare John 1:1-4).
