What does the person of ¡°Christ¡± mean to you? _______________________________________________________
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
Christ is the Greek word, which is in Hebrew ¡°Messiah¡± and is a title that means literally ¡°the anointed one¡± referring
to Jesus as the Christ ¡ª supremely empowered by the Holy Spirit to accomplish all of the divine plan.2
The Gospel of John introduces Yeshua as God Incarnate34
John 1 ¡ª Prologue
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the
beginning. 3 All things were created through Him, and
apart from Him not one thing was created that has been
created. 4 Life was in Him, and that life was the light of
men. 5 That light shines in the darkness, yet the
darkness did not overcome it. 6 There was a man named
John who was sent from God. 7 He came as a witness to
testify about the light, so that all might believe through
him. 8 He was not the light, but he came to testify about
the light. 9 The true light, who gives light to everyone,
was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and
the world was created through Him, yet the world did not
recognize Him.
11 He came to His own, and His own people did not
receive Him. 12 But to all who did receive Him, He
gave them the right to be children of God, to those who
believe in His name, 13 who were born, not of blood, or
of the will of the flesh, or of the will of man, but of God.
14 The Word became flesh and took up residence among
us. We observed His glory, the glory as the One and
Only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15
(John testified concerning Him and exclaimed, ¡°This was
the One of whom I said, ¡®The One coming after me has
surpassed me, because He existed before me.¡¯ ¡°) 16
Indeed, we have all received grace after grace from His
fullness, 17 for although the law was given through
Moses, grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18
No one has ever seen God. The One and Only Son ¡ª
the One who is at the Father¡¯s side ¡ª He has revealed
Him.
YHVH ¡ª ¡°The Self-Existent One Who Reveals Himself.¡±
Isaiah 12:2
Indeed, God is my salvation. I will trust [Him] and not be
afraid. Because Yah, the Lord, is my strength and my
song, He has become my salvation.¡±
God is my salvation ¡ª ¡°El Yeshuati¡±
Become my salvation ¡ª Yeshua

Incarnate ¡ª literally means embodied in flesh or taking on flesh. It refers to the conception and birth of a sentient creature who
is the material manifestation of an entity, god or force whose original nature is immaterial. In its religious context the word is
used to mean the descent from Heaven of a god, or divine being in human/animal form on Earth. (Wikipedia)

Not to be confused with reincarnation, which is the religious or philosophical concept that the soul or spirit, after biological
death, can begin a new life in a new body. (Wikipedia)

Yeshua was named by God and proclaimed by Gabriel
Luke 1 (c.f., Mt. 1:21)
30 Then the angel told her: Do not be afraid, Mary, for
you have found favor with God. 31 Now listen: You will
conceive and give birth to a son, and you will call His
name JESUS. 32 He will be great and will be called the
Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give Him
the throne of His father David. 33 He will reign over the
house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom will have no
end.
Jesus is the transliteration of the Hebrew term,
¡°Yehoshua¡± (Jehoshua), contracted to ¡°Joshua¡± ¡ª
¡°YHWH saves¡± or ¡°Yahweh is salvation¡±.
As the personal name of God and His most frequent designation, we are instructed to
not take it in vain (Exodus 20:7). So, the Jewish theologians, sages, and rabbis deem
it as unutterable. Yet, scripture also encourages us to call upon His Name (Isaiah
12:4, 1 Chronicles 16:8, Psalm 105:1, Joel 2:32, etc.). This is fulfilled in Yeshua.
Christ¡¯s Humility and Exaltation
Philippians 2
5 Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus, 6 who,
existing in the form of God, did not consider equality
with God as something to be used for His own
advantage. 7 Instead He emptied Himself by assuming
the form of a slave, taking on the likeness of men. And
when He had come as a man in His external form, 8 He
humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of
death ¡ª even to death on a cross. 9 For this reason God
also highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is
above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every
knee should bow ¡ª of those who are in heaven and on
earth and under the earth ¡ª 11 and every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.
YHVH became what we are (humankind)
so that we could become what He is (divinekind).
We were created in His image.
Yeshua was YHVH created in man¡¯s image.
Yeshua (Jesus) is YHVH in the flesh! To say that Jesus Christ is Lord (c.f., Romans 10:9) is to confess Him as
Adonai ¡ª or YHVH ¡ª HIMSELF!
According to the New Testament, salvation is experienced only by ¡°changing your mind¡± and personally trusting that
Yeshua/YHVH was executed as our atonement (kapparah) for your sins ¡ª lived, died, buried, and raised from the
dead. He is our High Priest set in heaven (1 Corinthians 15:3-4). There is no other Mediator before the Father and no
other Name given to mankind for salvation.

Peter and John Face the Jewish Leadership (Acts 4:5-12) ¡ª No other name for salvation!
All the prophets (Old Testament) testify about him and all who believe in Him receives forgiveness of sins
THROUGH His Name! (Acts 10:43)
Children of Abraham AND God-fearing Gentiles, it is to u that this message of salvation has been sent. (Acts
13:26).
Petitions, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings ¡ª please God our Savior through the mediation of Yeshua
(1 Timothy 2:1-7).

Jesus is Jehovah
¡°Jehovah¡± is the common English translation of YHVH (Yahweh). One reason it is important for us to know what we
believe concerning Yeshua¡¯s deity as YHVH (Jesus is Jehovah) is because this sets Him apart as very God and very
man. Jesus of the New Covenant is YHVH of the Old Covenant, as promised (Isaiah 40:3-5; Zephaniah 3:14-17;
Zechariah 2:10-13, 9:9-13; Malachi 3:1).
Without sin nothing separated Jesus from the divine image of God (Hebrews 4:15; 2 Corinthians 5:21). With this
assurance, we can give an answer to every man for the hope that is within us. For example, Jehovah Witnesses state
in their publications such as Watchtower Bible & Tract Society that Jesus is not Jehovah.
Hebrews 2 ¡ª Jesus and Humanity
5 For He has not subjected to angels the world to come that we
are talking about. 6 But one has somewhere testified: What is
man, that You remember him, or the son of man, that You care
for him? 7 You made him lower than the angels for a short
time; You crowned him with glory and honor 8 and subjected
everything under his feet. For in subjecting everything to him,
He left nothing not subject to him. As it is, we do not yet see
everything subjected to him. 9 But we do see Jesus ¡ª made
lower than the angels for a short time so that by God's grace He
might taste death for everyone-crowned with glory and honor
because of the suffering of death. 10 For it was fitting, in
bringing many sons to glory, that He, for whom and through
whom all things exist, should make the source of their salvation
perfect through sufferings. 11 For the One who sanctifies and
those who are sanctified all have one Father. That is why He is
not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying: I will proclaim
Your name to My brothers; I will sing hymns to You in the
congregation. 13 Again, I will trust in Him. And again, Here I
am with the children God gave Me. 14 Now since the children
have flesh and blood in common, He also shared in these, so
that through His death He might destroy the one holding the
power of death-that is, the Devil ¡ª 15 and free those who
were held in slavery all their lives by the fear of death. 16 For
it is clear that He does not reach out to help angels, but to
help Abraham's offspring. 17 Therefore He had to be like His
brothers in every way, so that He could become a merciful
and faithful high priest in service to God, to make propitiation
for the sins of the people. 18 For since He Himself was tested
and has suffered, He is able to help those who are tested.
1 Peter 3 ¡ª Undeserved Suffering
13 And who will harm you if you are passionate
for what is good? 14 But even if you should suffer
for righteousness, you are blessed. Do not fear
what they fear or be disturbed, 15 but set apart
the Messiah as Lord in your hearts, and
always be ready to give a defense to anyone
who asks you for a reason for the hope that
is in you. 16 However, do this with gentleness
and respect, keeping your conscience clear, so
that when you are accused, those who denounce
your Christian life will be put to shame. 17 For it
is better to suffer for doing good, if that should be
God's will, than for doing evil. 18 For Christ also
suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the
unrighteous, that He might bring you to God, after
being put to death in the fleshly realm but made
alive in the spiritual realm. 19 In that state He also
went and made a proclamation to the spirits in
prison 20 who in the past were disobedient, when
God patiently waited in the days of Noah while an
ark was being prepared; in it, a few ¡ª that is,
eight people-were saved through water. 21
Baptism, which corresponds to this, now saves
you (not the removal of the filth of the flesh, but
the pledge of a good conscience toward God)
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 22 Now
that He has gone into heaven, He is at God's right
hand, with angels, authorities, and powers
subjected to Him.
Jesus Claimed to Be Jehovah
Jesus claimed to be "I AM" (John 8:24, 28, 58; 13:19; 18:5-6). The "I am he" in the original Greek of those verses is
ego eimi ¡ª "I am" ¡ª with no "he". In the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint or LXX) ego eimi ¡ª "I AM" ¡ª is the
self-designation of Jehovah (Exodus 3:14-15; Deuteronomy 32:39; Isaiah 41:4; 43:10; 46:4; 52:6). In particular,
Jesus claimed to be Jehovah in His statements that, "Before Abraham was born, I am [ego eimi]" (John 8:58), and
"unless you believe that I am [ego eimi - no "he"] ... you will die in your sins" (John 8:24). Likewise, Jesus also
claimed to be Jehovah when He walked on the stormy sea and told the disciples in their sinking boat to, "Take heart;
it is I" (ego eimi ¡ª "I AM") (Matthew 14:23-27; Mark 6:47-50; John 6:16-20).

Colossian 1 ¡ª Jesus is the Physical
Creation of God¡¯s Image
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn
over all creation; 16 because by Him everything was
created, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the
invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or
authorities- all things have been created through Him and
for Him. 17 He is before all things, and by Him all
things hold together. 18 He is also the head of the body,
the church; He is the beginning, the firstborn from the
dead, so that He might come to have first place in
everything. 19 For God was pleased [to have] all His
fullness dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to reconcile
everything to Himself by making peace through the
blood of His cross- whether things on earth or things in
heaven.
John 14 ¡ª Jesus is the Father
7 "If you know Me, you will also know My Father.
From now on you do know Him and have seen Him."
8 "Lord," said Philip, "show us the Father, and that's
enough for us." 9 Jesus said to him, "Have I been among
you all this time without your knowing Me, Philip? The
one who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can
you say, 'Show us the Father'? 10 Don't you believe
that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The
words I speak to you I do not speak on My own. The
Father who lives in Me does His works. 11 Believe Me
that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me.
Otherwise, believe because of the works themselves.
Praying in the Name of Jesus
Jesus Christ, our Yeshua HaMashiach, was outwardly a Jew; but, inwardly Jehovah. In the New Covenant, we find
that He is the eternal Lord God incarnate (John 1:18, 5:37, 6:46, Colossians 1:15, 2:8-10; 1 Timothy 6:16; 1 John
4:12) and the Holy One (1 Peter 1:13-21). He is our hope! To put our hope in anyone other than God would be a sin
since we cannot take/bear the Name of the Lord in vain and as vaporous breath (Exodus 20:7).
John 14
12 "I assure you: The one who believes in Me will also
do the works that I do. And he will do even greater
works than these, because I am going to the Father. 13
Whatever you ask in My name, I will do it so that the
Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask Me
anything in My name, I will do it.
John 15
7 If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask
whatever you want and it will be done for you . . .
15 I do not call you slaves anymore, because a slave
doesn't know what his master is doing. I have called
you friends, because I have made known to you
everything I have heard from My Father. 16 You did
not choose Me, but I chose you. I appointed you that you
should go out and produce fruit and that your fruit
should remain, so that whatever you ask the Father in
My name, He will give you.
John 16
26 In that day you will ask in My name. I am not telling
you that I will make requests to the Father on your behalf.
27 For the Father Himself loves you, because you have
loved Me and have believed that I came from God. 28 I
came from the Father and have come into the world.
Again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father."
29 "Ah!" His disciples said. "Now You're speaking
plainly and not using any figurative language. 30 Now
we know that You know everything and don't need
anyone to question You. By this we believe that You
came from God." 31 Jesus responded to them, "Do you
now believe? 32 Look: An hour is coming, and has
come, when each of you will be scattered to his own
home, and you will leave Me alone. Yet I am not alone,
because the Father is with Me. 33 I have told you these
things so that in Me you may have peace. You will have
suffering in this world. Be courageous! I have conquered
the world."
Two is a Witness; Three is a Perfect/Mature Witness ¡ª Matthew 18
18 I assure you: Whatever you bind on earth is already bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth is already
loosed in heaven. 19 Again, I assure you: If two of you on earth agree about any matter that you pray for, it will be
done for you by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there among
them."
I have an expectation of God bringing forth Creative Miracles
with signs and wonders worked in us by YHVH in Yeshua!
