Logos

The Tent of Meeting

/ David R Maas / Leave a comment

Ever since the Word became flesh, God’s Glory has been manifested in Jesus of Nazareth, and all who believe in him behold His splendor.

Jesus is the Logos, the “Word become flesh” in whom the “Glory of God” resides. He is the Greater Tabernacle foreshadowed in the Tent carried by Israel, the place where the Glory of Yahweh was seen in the Wilderness. His full glory is now displayed throughout the World for all men to see wherever Christ is proclaimed. Jesus is the true “light that illuminates every man coming into the world.”

The Only Source

ONLY Jesus of Nazareth is the Light of the World, the expression of God, and the source of truth, life, and salvation.

From time immemorial, presidents, kings, dictators, political ideologies, religions, and false prophets have claimed to be humanity’s best hope for peace and prosperity, self-appointed sources of light, and alleged bulwarks of order against the darkness that constantly threatens to overwhelm society. Today, this plague of pretenders is worse than ever, especially in the churches and political arena of the United States of America.

The Prologue concludes by declaring that the Son is the only one qualified to interpret God since he alone has seen the Unseen God.

Слава Божья

/ David R Maas / Leave a comment

С тех пор как Слово стало плотью, Божественная Слава проявилась в Иисусе из Назарета, и все, кто следует за ним, видят это – Иоанна 1:14.

Иисус – это Логос в Евангелии от Иоанна, “Слово, ставшее плотью”, в котором пребывает “Слава Божья”. Он – Истинная Скиния, о которой свидетельствует Шатер, который Израиль нес в пустыне, где Слава Яхве проявлялась впечатляющими, но ограниченными способами. Распятый Мессия – это истинное и полное проявление Славы Живого Бога.

The Divine Glory

Since the Word became flesh, the Divine Glory has been manifested in Jesus of Nazareth and all who follow him behold it – John 1:14.

Jesus is the Logos in the Gospel of John, the “Word become flesh” in whom the “Glory of God” resides. He is the True Tabernacle foreshadowed by the Tent carried by Israel in the wilderness where the Glory of Yahweh was manifested in impressive but limited ways. The Crucified Messiah is the true and full manifestation of the Glory of the Living God.
