And great and important and weighty, we confess, is the hidden truth ( the mystic secret) of godliness. He(God ) was made visible in human flesh, justified and vindicated in the (Holy) Spirit, was seen by angels, preached among the nations, believed on in the world, ( and) taken up in glory (1 Timothy 3:16) AMPC
There’re those who due to lack of proper understanding of the Scriptures are confused about the deity of Jesus. The Scriptures are unambiguous about it. Even the portion we just read in our theme verse leaves no one in doubt as to the fact that the one being referred to as God is Jesus.
Some have asked, “If Jesus is God, How can He set Himself at His own right hand in the heavenly places as stated in Ephesians 1:19-20?” First, you have to understand the extraordinary nature of God in which He’s able to manifest Himself in different ways; it’s the mystery of His nature.
The Bible tells us about the divine nature of the Godhead in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; one God, but manifests in three separate persons. We’re never going to see three Gods in Heaven, or three thrones with the Father sitting on one, the Son on another, and then the Holy Spirit on the third one; no! It’s only Jesus, because in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily( Colossians 2:9)
Colossians 1:9 says, “For it pleased the Father that in him should all fullness dwell “Recall at the baptism of Jesus, as He came out of the water, the heavens opened, and the Holy Spirit descended on Jesus. Simultaneously, a voice spoke from heaven and said, “…This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased“ (Matthew 3:17).
What an extraordinary manifestation of the three persons: The Son is baptized in water, and right away He’s filled with the Holy Spirit, and the Father speaks from heaven! The first time the angels saw God Almighty in a body was when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. The Bible says, “And the word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…” ( John 1:14). God became flesh and dwelt among us, and yet His presence and His voice would speak from heaven. Amazing!
CONFESSION
I worship the Lord Jesus, for in Him dwells all the fullness of the divine perfection, powers, and attributes of divinity. Lord, you’re the complete embodiment of Deity, the outward expression or image of the invisible God . You’re the King eternal, gracious, loving, and kind! I love you with all my heart! Blessed be your Name forever!
