Life’s Ultimate Question:

“But what about you - who do YOU say that I am?”

 

What’s in a name?

  1. Logos reveals the supremacy of Jesus
  2. Logos reveals the mission of Jesus
  3. Logos reveals the power of Jesus

 

 

The Power of the Word:

  1. The Word of God was the active agent in the Creation
  2. God’s presence accompanies His word; and His word ALWAYS accomplishes His purposes 

 

The Logos and Creation:

  1. Jesus is the Creator of time and space
  2. Jesus is the Creator of every thing that has been made
  3. Jesus bestows physical life and consciousness on every person specifically
  4. Jesus sustains the universe, all physical matter and every human life

 

The Logos and New Creation:

  1. Jesus is the agent of spiritual re-birth Zoe = “spiritual life”
  2. Jesus is the agent that restores relationship with the Father
  3. Jesus is the agent of eternal life that sustains believers
