The Daily Word of Righteousness
Two Beginnings, #8
Perhaps the greatest revelation to the Boy, Jesus, is found in the second Psalm:
I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen [nations] for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. (Psalms 2:7,8)
"The Lord" in the above passage is the Father, God. The "son" is the Logos. The Father, in view of His eternal purpose, is inviting the Logos to pray that He may come into a new relationship to the Father—that of Son. "Today I have become Your Father."
The Logos created the nations and the farthest reaches of the earth. But the Logos would have to become man in order to inherit His own creation, for the Word of God has assigned the rulership of the creation to man.
The change from the Logos to the Son of God has awesome implications. The change was necessary if the Logos was to become the Firstborn of many brothers.
For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be changed into the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren. (Romans 8:29)
For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one [of the Father]: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, (Hebrews 2:11)
The Logos has no brothers. The Son of God and Son of Man has brothers. The Logos has no wife. The Lamb of God has a Wife. These are eternal changes in the role of the Logos.
But what is being revealed concerning the Logos, the Son of God?
He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. (II Samuel 7:13)
Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. (Isaiah 9:7)
This is enough to make the fallen lords livid with fury.
Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre. Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows. (Psalms 45:6,7)
The Logos was anointed with the holy oil of gladness more than any of the other inhabitants of the heavens because He loved righteousness and hated iniquity more than they. Now the Anointed One has been raised to the throne of the creation and has been called "God"!
It is part of the Father's plan to anoint the Logos, the Son of God, with the Spirit of God in order that the Logos may serve the Father by bringing justice to the nations of the earth.
Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles. (Isaiah 42:1)
It is through the Apostle Paul that we learn Christ is to have a Body.
For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. (I Corinthians 12:12)
