1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,240
When we come to the Logos, Jesus Christ

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:05,180
of Nazareth, who is he?

3
00:00:06,580 --> 00:00:10,060
In Arabic, actually it sounds much more clearer

4
00:00:10,060 --> 00:00:10,840
and nicer.

5
00:00:11,620 --> 00:00:12,560
I'm going to say it in Arabic and

6
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:13,580
I'm going to try and say it in

7
00:00:13,580 --> 00:00:13,840
English.

8
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,420
For those who speak Arabic, they'll understand, hopefully,

9
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,000
what I'm saying.

10
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:27,560
In Arabic, Jesus Christ is He is the

11
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,780
speaking intellect of God, and he is the

12
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:32,100
speech of God's intellect.

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:34,280
I'll say that again.

14
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:37,720
He is the speaking intellect of God, and

15
00:00:37,720 --> 00:00:39,620
he is the speech of God's intellect.

16
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:45,800
So, in other words, he is the only

17
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:47,500
way for God to speak.

18
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,700
He is the only way for God to

19
00:00:52,700 --> 00:00:53,020
speak.

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,820
Now, this word, which is the Logos, it

21
00:00:59,820 --> 00:01:01,720
is not like any other words that we

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,160
use every single day.

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,960
Our words have no power in them.

24
00:01:07,820 --> 00:01:12,660
Meaning, I could stand here for as long

25
00:01:12,660 --> 00:01:13,800
as I could live on the face of

26
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:14,240
this earth.

27
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,880
Currently, outside, it is night time, it is

28
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:17,200
dark.

29
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,440
I can stand here and I say, let

30
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,460
there be light, let this darkness turn into

31
00:01:21,460 --> 00:01:23,260
light, let this night turn into day.

32
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,480
I can say it for as long as

33
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:25,780
I live.

34
00:01:25,960 --> 00:01:27,260
Nothing is going to happen.

35
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:29,260
Nothing is going to happen.

36
00:01:29,540 --> 00:01:29,720
Why?

37
00:01:29,900 --> 00:01:32,020
Because my word, at the end of the

38
00:01:32,020 --> 00:01:34,480
day, is only a word, has no power

39
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,980
to do what it's saying.

40
00:01:37,180 --> 00:01:39,700
But you see, Jesus Christ, the Logos, no,

41
00:01:39,860 --> 00:01:42,460
he is the word that speaks and does

42
00:01:42,460 --> 00:01:43,560
as it speaks.

43
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:46,300
This is why, when we go to the

44
00:01:46,300 --> 00:01:48,860
book of Genesis, in chapter 1 of Genesis,

45
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,860
we see that it says, God saw it

46
00:01:51,860 --> 00:01:55,080
was dark, and then God said, let there

47
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,780
be light, and light came on board.

48
00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,860
So, God saw, and God said, let there

49
00:02:02,860 --> 00:02:03,180
be light.

50
00:02:03,380 --> 00:02:04,660
Who saw it was dark?

51
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:05,540
God the Father.

52
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,479
Who said, let there be light?

53
00:02:07,620 --> 00:02:08,199
God the Son.

54
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,140
Because who is saying the Logos?

55
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:11,120
The Logos speaks.

56
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:11,840
You with me?

57
00:02:12,420 --> 00:02:13,260
The Logos speaks.

58
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,320
Now, when the Logos spoke, the dark became

59
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:19,480
light, because his word talks and does at

60
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,260
the same time, has that power in it.

61
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,140
So, when you say, Lord, in your name

62
00:02:24,140 --> 00:02:26,660
I am protected, you better believe in what

63
00:02:26,660 --> 00:02:28,420
you're saying, because he is the Logos.

64
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,120
In him, all authority lies.

65
00:02:33,020 --> 00:02:34,720
In him, all power lies.

66
00:02:35,100 --> 00:02:36,720
In him, all changes lie.

67
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:37,800
Everything.

68
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:40,120
He's not just a word.

69
00:02:41,260 --> 00:02:43,380
He's the one who says, and things happen.

70
00:02:44,180 --> 00:02:44,860
Amen?

71
00:02:46,300 --> 00:02:47,320
Do not be afraid.

72
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,300
Trust in the Lord.

73
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,420
Why are you worried?

74
00:02:52,700 --> 00:02:56,080
You have relational issues, you have health issues,

75
00:02:56,460 --> 00:02:59,180
financial issues, domestic issues.

76
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:02,660
Trust in the Logos.

77
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:05,820
Trust in the Lord.

78
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:07,840
Trust in the Lord.

79
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:12,300
I won't have the time.

80
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,640
But, ah, jump.

81
00:03:15,820 --> 00:03:16,560
May the Lord forgive me.

82
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:19,380
Please pay attention.

83
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,120
Amazing, how the Holy Spirit, the source of

84
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,940
wisdom, inspired John, the Gospel writer, to write

85
00:03:29,940 --> 00:03:31,960
in this beautiful way.

86
00:03:32,380 --> 00:03:33,020
Beautiful way.

87
00:03:35,260 --> 00:03:38,680
Why did we read the 18 verses, but

88
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:39,840
we're only talking about one verse?

89
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,660
Well, we don't have the time, number one.

90
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,440
But number two, there is a reason.

91
00:03:44,500 --> 00:03:47,380
If anybody asks you, is there a Book

92
00:03:47,380 --> 00:03:48,780
of Psalms in the New Testament?

93
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,300
You'll probably say no.

94
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,740
Because the Book of Psalms is only found

95
00:03:52,740 --> 00:03:53,640
in the Old Testament.

96
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,100
And it is known by the King David

97
00:03:56,100 --> 00:03:57,020
Book of Psalms.

98
00:03:57,500 --> 00:03:58,700
And that is only in the Old Testament.

99
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:00,860
But let me tell you that there is

100
00:04:00,860 --> 00:04:02,300
also a Book of Psalms in the New

101
00:04:02,300 --> 00:04:02,620
Testament.

102
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:05,120
And that is the Gospel according to Saint

103
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,360
John, chapter 1, verses 1 to 18.

104
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,560
These 18 verses are the Book of Psalms

105
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:11,360
of the New Testament.

106
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,200
It is an orchestra of praise and glory.

107
00:04:17,899 --> 00:04:21,240
These 18 verses, we can divide them into

108
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:22,000
four categories.

109
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,000
The first category, the Logos in His Majesty.

110
00:04:27,620 --> 00:04:29,520
And that takes up verses 1 to 5.

111
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,520
The Logos in His Majesty, verses 1 to

112
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:32,820
5.

113
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,660
The second category, the Logos in His Revelation,

114
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,200
verses 6 to 9.

115
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,480
The Logos in His Revelation, verses 6 to

116
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:41,760
9.

117
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,920
And then, third category, the Logos being rejected,

118
00:04:46,500 --> 00:04:48,500
verses 10 to 11.

119
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,740
The Logos rejected, verses 10 to 11.

120
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,060
And then the fourth and the last category,

121
00:04:54,460 --> 00:04:57,880
the Logos accepted, verses 12 to 18.

122
00:04:59,870 --> 00:05:02,450
You see, the Logos, number one, needs to

123
00:05:02,450 --> 00:05:05,750
be glorified first.

124
00:05:06,270 --> 00:05:09,150
We need to come and see the majesty

125
00:05:09,150 --> 00:05:10,150
of this Logos.

126
00:05:10,850 --> 00:05:12,790
And when we see that majesty of the

127
00:05:12,790 --> 00:05:15,170
Logos, then we come into the revelation of

128
00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:15,670
the Logos.

129
00:05:15,970 --> 00:05:18,130
When we come into the revelation, meaning getting

130
00:05:18,130 --> 00:05:20,830
to knowing the Logos, when we get to

131
00:05:20,830 --> 00:05:22,630
know the Logos, it is either way.

132
00:05:22,770 --> 00:05:25,070
We either accept Him or reject Him.

133
00:05:25,190 --> 00:05:25,690
One of the two.

134
00:05:26,490 --> 00:05:29,250
And if we reject Him, there are consequences.

135
00:05:29,730 --> 00:05:31,450
And if we accept Him, there are also

136
00:05:31,450 --> 00:05:32,490
outcomes for that.

137
00:05:33,330 --> 00:05:33,810
Very simple.

138
00:05:34,650 --> 00:05:36,190
But it doesn't look it when you read

139
00:05:36,190 --> 00:05:36,390
it.

140
00:05:41,840 --> 00:05:43,400
Now, pay attention.

141
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:45,340
Are you ready?

142
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:47,160
Alright.

143
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,860
Why, why John the Beloved is introducing Jesus

144
00:05:52,860 --> 00:05:55,340
Christ as the Word, the Logos?

145
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:56,060
Why the Word?

146
00:06:01,380 --> 00:06:05,620
Now, the Logos, in the true Christian faith,

147
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,980
we believe that God is Trion.

148
00:06:08,620 --> 00:06:11,220
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

149
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,540
One God in nature, one God in essence.

150
00:06:13,820 --> 00:06:15,860
This is the true Christian faith.

151
00:06:17,020 --> 00:06:17,580
God is one.

152
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,480
O Israel, know this, that your God is

153
00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:21,780
one.

154
00:06:22,460 --> 00:06:25,100
But this one God cannot be just one,

155
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:25,980
as in one.

156
00:06:26,220 --> 00:06:28,200
He is one in three, and three in

157
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:28,480
one.

158
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,640
There is the Father, there is the Son,

159
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:32,740
and there is the Holy Spirit.

160
00:06:35,900 --> 00:06:38,620
Now, why God cannot be just one?

161
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,240
Well, when we look at His creation, God

162
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,760
has also put the three in every creation

163
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:45,440
He has made.

164
00:06:45,820 --> 00:06:46,940
Let's look at the human being.

165
00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:50,620
The human being, when we read the Epistle

166
00:06:50,620 --> 00:06:56,560
of Saint Paul, 1 Thessalonians 5.23. I

167
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:57,980
know I'm getting old, but my memory is

168
00:06:57,980 --> 00:06:59,760
still not lacking there.

169
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:03,560
1 Thessalonians 5.23, Saint Paul says, every

170
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,240
human being is made out of body, soul,

171
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:07,300
and spirit.

172
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:07,660
Three.

173
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,040
But that doesn't make me three people.

174
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:11,020
I'm only one.

175
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,000
But that one is not just one, he

176
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:14,500
is one in three, and three in one.

177
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,740
I exist, I have an intellect, brain, and

178
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:19,980
I have a life.

179
00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:21,220
I breathe.

180
00:07:22,140 --> 00:07:24,240
I exist, I have a brain, and I

181
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:24,640
have a life.

182
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,100
The question is, is my existence my brain?

183
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:27,560
No.

184
00:07:27,780 --> 00:07:29,100
Is my brain my life?

185
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:29,480
No.

186
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:30,820
Does that make me three people?

187
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:31,640
No, I'm one.

188
00:07:32,060 --> 00:07:33,800
But this one is not just one, I

189
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:35,240
am one in three, and three in one.

190
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,560
Existence, intellect, and life.

191
00:07:37,980 --> 00:07:39,840
The existence of God is the Father.

192
00:07:40,220 --> 00:07:42,240
The brain, or the intellect of God, is

193
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,220
the Son, the Logos.

194
00:07:43,460 --> 00:07:45,120
And the life of God is the Holy

195
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:45,540
Spirit.

196
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,680
God is holy, and He is spirit, and

197
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:49,980
He is the source of life.

198
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,740
So, He's not just one.

199
00:07:56,020 --> 00:07:57,900
The existence of God is not the brain

200
00:07:57,900 --> 00:07:58,260
of God.

201
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:00,600
The brain of God is not the life

202
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,000
of God.

203
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,200
But that doesn't make Him three Gods, it

204
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:03,760
is one.

205
00:08:04,340 --> 00:08:06,720
Like the sun, the sun that rises every

206
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:06,980
day.

207
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:09,420
It is round, it is light, and it

208
00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:09,800
is heat.

209
00:08:10,540 --> 00:08:12,320
You take the circle out, no longer the

210
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:12,500
sun.

211
00:08:12,780 --> 00:08:14,460
You take the light out, no longer the

212
00:08:14,460 --> 00:08:14,600
sun.

213
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:16,400
You take the heat out, no longer the

214
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:16,520
sun.

215
00:08:16,700 --> 00:08:18,720
When the three are in it together, then

216
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,960
we can call it one sun.

217
00:08:26,330 --> 00:08:28,690
The sun is the brain.

218
00:08:30,230 --> 00:08:31,010
The Word.

219
00:08:32,390 --> 00:08:36,169
Why John, the Gospel writer, introduces Jesus Christ

220
00:08:36,169 --> 00:08:37,730
as the Word, the Logos.

221
00:08:45,380 --> 00:08:47,260
I hope I can talk about two points

222
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:47,460
here.

223
00:08:47,940 --> 00:08:48,920
Let's start with the first one.

224
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,340
The Word, in its nature, cannot be seen,

225
00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:55,400
it can only be heard.

226
00:08:57,260 --> 00:08:58,360
See, this is theology, eh?

227
00:08:58,920 --> 00:08:59,900
You're getting a taste of it.

228
00:08:59,900 --> 00:09:03,900
You see, the Word, in its nature, cannot

229
00:09:03,900 --> 00:09:06,680
be seen, it can only be heard, at

230
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:07,120
the start.

231
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,260
Now, I'm talking to you words.

232
00:09:09,540 --> 00:09:10,220
Can you see them?

233
00:09:11,020 --> 00:09:11,280
No.

234
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:13,100
What do you do naturally with the Word?

235
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:13,900
You hear it first.

236
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:15,360
That is the nature of the Word.

237
00:09:15,620 --> 00:09:17,580
It cannot be seen, no matter how hard

238
00:09:17,580 --> 00:09:17,960
you try.

239
00:09:19,300 --> 00:09:21,820
The only thing that can be ever done

240
00:09:21,820 --> 00:09:24,700
with the Word, at this initial start, is

241
00:09:24,700 --> 00:09:25,400
hearing the Word.

242
00:09:26,460 --> 00:09:27,860
Hmm, interesting.

243
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:33,820
When does this Word get to be seen?

244
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:38,180
When I grab a pen, and a piece

245
00:09:38,180 --> 00:09:41,500
of paper, and I apply the Word that

246
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:44,220
was in my head, onto that paper.

247
00:09:46,740 --> 00:09:49,220
I apply that Word that was in my

248
00:09:49,220 --> 00:09:50,700
head, onto that paper.

249
00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:53,640
When I write it on paper, that invisible

250
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:56,380
Word becomes visible, tangible.

251
00:09:58,040 --> 00:09:58,800
Becomes what?

252
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,400
Visible, tangible.

253
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:06,880
Who has ever seen God?

254
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,420
No one.

255
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:09,680
Who can ever see God?

256
00:10:09,900 --> 00:10:10,520
No one.

257
00:10:11,340 --> 00:10:13,260
If somebody comes, with all love and respect,

258
00:10:13,540 --> 00:10:16,480
and says, I worship God, I love God,

259
00:10:16,820 --> 00:10:20,440
and God only, sorry, I can't believe it,

260
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,460
because I'll ask you, have you seen Him?

261
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:23,020
No.

262
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:24,120
Can you see Him?

263
00:10:24,340 --> 00:10:24,600
No.

264
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:26,800
Have you ever been able to get to

265
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:26,960
Him?

266
00:10:27,180 --> 00:10:27,440
No.

267
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:28,820
Can you ever reach God?

268
00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:30,040
No.

269
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,120
Well, how can you worship and love someone

270
00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,480
you don't know?

271
00:10:35,180 --> 00:10:36,020
You don't know.

272
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:39,540
Sorry, but that is a lie.

273
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:41,840
You're not telling the truth.

274
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,540
So God, as God, as the Divine, the

275
00:10:46,540 --> 00:10:50,260
Spirit, no one can ever see, including the

276
00:10:50,260 --> 00:10:51,900
angels in heaven, cannot see God.

277
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,740
For one simple reason, angels are creations of

278
00:10:55,740 --> 00:10:57,520
God, they have a beginning, they don't have

279
00:10:57,520 --> 00:10:58,480
an end, but they have a beginning.

280
00:10:59,420 --> 00:11:02,200
Allah is the infinite, neither has a beginning

281
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,020
nor an end.

282
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,860
When someone has no beginning nor an end,

283
00:11:05,980 --> 00:11:07,640
you can never see that someone.

284
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,500
The only way I can see you, and

285
00:11:10,500 --> 00:11:11,980
you can see me, is where you can

286
00:11:11,980 --> 00:11:13,860
see my head and my toes.

287
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:15,300
From head to toe you can see me,

288
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:16,480
then you're able to see.

289
00:11:16,700 --> 00:11:18,740
If you couldn't see the start, nor the

290
00:11:18,740 --> 00:11:20,060
end, you cannot see the person.

291
00:11:22,680 --> 00:11:24,920
So God, as God, is the only being

292
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:27,260
that is infinite, and everything else is finite.

293
00:11:27,260 --> 00:11:30,440
The finite cannot see the infinite God.

294
00:11:31,660 --> 00:11:34,600
So when you say, I worship God, and

295
00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:37,160
God only, sorry, you've never seen him, you

296
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:37,640
don't know him.

297
00:11:38,340 --> 00:11:40,040
You can't love someone or worship someone you

298
00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:40,320
don't know.

299
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:42,680
You need to get to know him.

300
00:11:44,220 --> 00:11:47,520
A prophet, no matter how awesome that prophet

301
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:51,340
is, is only delivering a message that won't

302
00:11:51,340 --> 00:11:54,040
even reach a drop in the ocean of

303
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:54,300
God.

304
00:11:55,740 --> 00:11:59,360
When we look at the prophet Isaiah, he

305
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,920
wrote his book around 750-800 BC, before

306
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:03,260
Christ.

307
00:12:04,180 --> 00:12:07,360
He is writing in so intricate details about

308
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:09,220
the coming of the Messiah, born of a

309
00:12:09,220 --> 00:12:10,660
virgin, and then he will be crucified.

310
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:11,980
They're going to drag him, they're going to

311
00:12:11,980 --> 00:12:13,060
whip him, they're going to nail him.

312
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,880
He is writing in so much detail, as

313
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,280
if he is walking with Jesus Christ at

314
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:20,900
his time.

315
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:23,800
The theologians and the scholars of our time

316
00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,680
and age, they refer to the prophet Isaiah

317
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:29,780
as the fifth gospel writer, because of his

318
00:12:29,780 --> 00:12:32,520
in-detail information about Christ.

319
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,980
But at the end, Isaiah the prophet comes

320
00:12:35,980 --> 00:12:40,420
and says, he says, how hidden you are,

321
00:12:40,500 --> 00:12:41,340
O God of Israel.

322
00:12:42,100 --> 00:12:43,500
I have no idea who you are.

323
00:12:43,500 --> 00:12:47,680
But Isaiah, you wrote all these chapters, describing

324
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:49,720
the coming of the Messiah and the crucifixion

325
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,400
of the Messiah in absolute perfection and in

326
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:53,040
detailed information.

327
00:12:53,940 --> 00:12:55,180
And at the end you come and say,

328
00:12:55,500 --> 00:12:56,920
you don't know the God of Israel?

329
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:00,120
He says, absolutely not, because what I brought

330
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:02,960
with me was just a message given to

331
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:04,760
me, but the one who gave it to

332
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:06,680
me, who he is, what he is, how

333
00:13:06,680 --> 00:13:08,260
he thinks, how he operates, I have no

334
00:13:08,260 --> 00:13:09,280
idea, I've never seen him.

335
00:13:09,820 --> 00:13:10,760
All I got is a message from him,

336
00:13:10,820 --> 00:13:12,160
that's it, don't ask me who he is.

337
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,880
So now, there's a problem.

338
00:13:17,500 --> 00:13:21,960
God created us, not to throw us in

339
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:25,860
the deep and try on our own to

340
00:13:25,860 --> 00:13:26,620
figure out what's happening.

341
00:13:27,620 --> 00:13:30,640
He created us to have a relationship with

342
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:30,880
us.

343
00:13:31,740 --> 00:13:33,340
To have a relationship with us.

344
00:13:34,310 --> 00:13:40,780
Now, I cannot be God, but the question

345
00:13:40,780 --> 00:13:43,600
is, can God be like me?

346
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,560
If somebody comes and says that God cannot

347
00:13:47,560 --> 00:13:50,520
be a human being, then I've just taken

348
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,040
that title of him being almighty.

349
00:13:54,300 --> 00:13:56,840
So if God cannot be a human being,

350
00:13:56,980 --> 00:13:59,840
therefore he cannot do anything and everything, since

351
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:01,620
he cannot do anything and everything, he is

352
00:14:01,620 --> 00:14:03,300
no longer God, he can't be God anymore.

353
00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:06,360
Because those who believe in God, they all

354
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:09,280
believe that God is capable of doing everything

355
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:09,920
and anything.

356
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,240
Nobody can stop God from whatever he wishes

357
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:13,560
to do.

358
00:14:14,340 --> 00:14:18,840
So, Christianity never claims that this man Jesus

359
00:14:18,840 --> 00:14:22,760
became God, but we claim, we say God

360
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,020
became man.

361
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:26,400
What's the problem?

362
00:14:27,260 --> 00:14:28,000
There is no problem.

363
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:30,500
Can God become a man?

364
00:14:30,540 --> 00:14:30,780
Yes.

365
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:32,380
He is almighty.

366
00:14:33,140 --> 00:14:34,200
He can do anything and everything.

367
00:14:34,940 --> 00:14:38,380
And since the human being is the crown

368
00:14:38,380 --> 00:14:40,940
of creation, well, why can't God become a

369
00:14:40,940 --> 00:14:41,360
human being?

370
00:14:41,940 --> 00:14:43,940
Didn't he call the human being my son

371
00:14:43,940 --> 00:14:45,020
or my child?

372
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:50,620
It's an honor for dad to come and

373
00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:51,360
be with his son.

374
00:14:53,620 --> 00:14:56,080
So now, since we can't go up to

375
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,060
God to know him, he came down to

376
00:14:59,060 --> 00:15:02,760
us to reveal himself to the human race.

377
00:15:03,180 --> 00:15:04,940
And then it's up to us to accept

378
00:15:04,940 --> 00:15:06,200
him or to reject him.

379
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,300
The word can only be heard.

380
00:15:13,420 --> 00:15:15,720
The only time it can be seen, when

381
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,160
the word, I grab a pen and I

382
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:18,920
apply it on a paper.

383
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,480
When I write the word on paper, the

384
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,800
word that was invisible became visible.

385
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,720
Now, God had this idea in his head.

386
00:15:29,980 --> 00:15:32,740
And since he is God, the only infinite

387
00:15:32,740 --> 00:15:35,420
being, where nobody can ever read his mind,

388
00:15:35,420 --> 00:15:37,980
so he had to send his mind to

389
00:15:37,980 --> 00:15:40,440
the human race for that mind to speak

390
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:42,780
to all of us in order to begin

391
00:15:42,780 --> 00:15:46,800
knowing who this God is, what he is,

392
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,200
and why we are here.

393
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:49,460
Why did he create us?

394
00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:54,360
So God said, the word is invisible.

395
00:15:55,060 --> 00:15:56,380
I'll make it visible.

396
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:05,560
So God the father, grabbed a letter.

397
00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:09,720
And he wrote the word on that letter

398
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,560
for the word to be visible.

399
00:16:14,140 --> 00:16:19,760
That paper, which God wrote his word on,

400
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,200
is the body of Jesus, the human.

401
00:16:27,060 --> 00:16:28,100
Sorry to interrupt.

402
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:30,980
Looks like there is a car blocking the

403
00:16:30,980 --> 00:16:31,200
way.

404
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,420
It is a white Holden Commodore, L-E

405
00:16:34,420 --> 00:16:36,000
-V-N-D-I.

406
00:16:36,340 --> 00:16:37,460
It is blocking another car.

407
00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:41,180
It is a white Holden Commodore, plate number

408
00:16:41,180 --> 00:16:43,860
is L-E-V-N-D-I.

409
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:46,040
If you don't mind, please just move the

410
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:47,380
car as soon as possible.

411
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,020
White Holden Commodore, L-E-V-N-D

412
00:16:51,020 --> 00:16:51,260
-I.

413
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:51,900
Thank you.

414
00:16:53,620 --> 00:16:57,400
So God took that word and wrote it

415
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:00,020
on this letter called the body of Jesus.

416
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:04,579
So that human side of Christ was that

417
00:17:04,579 --> 00:17:05,819
letter, that paper.

418
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,859
And then the word which is the invisible,

419
00:17:09,339 --> 00:17:12,300
which is the logos, was written on that

420
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:13,140
paper, the body.

421
00:17:13,500 --> 00:17:16,339
So the logos came into this body and

422
00:17:16,339 --> 00:17:18,900
was sent as a love letter from God

423
00:17:18,900 --> 00:17:21,579
the father to the entire human race.

424
00:17:22,579 --> 00:17:27,300
When Jesus Christ was born, that flesh, that

425
00:17:27,300 --> 00:17:31,060
perfect man, became the letter where the logos,

426
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,440
the invisible word, became visible when it was

427
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,160
written on that body.

428
00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:38,320
If you know what I'm saying.

429
00:17:41,210 --> 00:17:42,470
Jesus came.

430
00:17:45,230 --> 00:17:47,810
In him is the logos.

431
00:17:48,390 --> 00:17:49,470
Who is the logos?

432
00:17:49,670 --> 00:17:50,010
God.

433
00:17:50,010 --> 00:17:52,470
In the beginning was the logos and the

434
00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:54,870
logos was with God and the logos was

435
00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:55,190
God.

436
00:17:55,710 --> 00:17:57,530
So who was in the body of that

437
00:17:57,530 --> 00:17:58,190
perfect man?

438
00:17:58,450 --> 00:17:59,150
God himself.

439
00:18:00,450 --> 00:18:01,070
God himself.

440
00:18:02,090 --> 00:18:06,310
So, why John the Beloved introduces the Lord

441
00:18:06,310 --> 00:18:07,110
as the logos?

442
00:18:07,430 --> 00:18:11,010
Because the word operates in three ways, just

443
00:18:11,010 --> 00:18:14,830
like we believe in God being Trinitarian, so

444
00:18:14,830 --> 00:18:16,610
as the word operates in three ways.

445
00:18:16,610 --> 00:18:19,530
Number one, the word reveals the speaker.

446
00:18:19,790 --> 00:18:23,070
Number two, the word establishes relationship.

447
00:18:23,690 --> 00:18:26,870
And number three, the word commands, gives an

448
00:18:26,870 --> 00:18:27,090
order.

449
00:18:28,130 --> 00:18:30,310
The word reveals the speaker.

450
00:18:30,630 --> 00:18:32,510
The word establishes relationship.

451
00:18:32,910 --> 00:18:34,850
The word gives an order, it commands.

452
00:18:35,290 --> 00:18:36,530
No more, no less.

453
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:39,390
If I were to stand in front of

454
00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:42,310
you and say not even one single word,

455
00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:44,490
you will never know what's in my mind,

456
00:18:44,810 --> 00:18:45,490
what's in my heart.

457
00:18:45,490 --> 00:18:46,350
You'll never know.

458
00:18:46,770 --> 00:18:50,130
The moment I speak, I am revealed to

459
00:18:50,130 --> 00:18:50,590
all of you.

460
00:18:50,890 --> 00:18:52,770
You begin to know what was in my

461
00:18:52,770 --> 00:18:54,790
mind, what was in my heart, the moment

462
00:18:54,790 --> 00:18:55,310
I spoke.

463
00:18:55,470 --> 00:18:58,170
Because the word revealed what was hidden inside

464
00:18:58,170 --> 00:18:58,530
of me.

465
00:18:59,350 --> 00:19:00,550
God, nobody saw.

466
00:19:01,070 --> 00:19:02,270
God, nobody reached.

467
00:19:02,810 --> 00:19:05,350
God had all this love in him that

468
00:19:05,350 --> 00:19:07,930
wanted to share with his own creation.

469
00:19:08,330 --> 00:19:10,130
And this is the reason why he created

470
00:19:10,130 --> 00:19:11,790
us and everything else.

471
00:19:12,530 --> 00:19:12,950
Love.

472
00:19:13,890 --> 00:19:15,050
Because of love.

473
00:19:16,350 --> 00:19:18,310
L-O-V-E.

474
00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:21,390
This is why God created the universe, created

475
00:19:21,390 --> 00:19:24,510
everything that we see and we don't see.

476
00:19:24,990 --> 00:19:25,810
It was love.
