It
is quite apparent that most people who profess to know Jesus Christ do not
attribute to Him the same degree of honor that is given to the Father. But
Jesus in no uncertain terms said to the Jews, “Most assuredly, I say to you,
the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever
He does, the Son also does in like manner. For the Father loves the Son, and
shows Him all things that He Himself does; and He will show Him greater works
than these, that you may marvel.’
“For
as the Father raises the dead and gives life to them, even so the Son gives
life to whom He will. For the Father judges no one, but has committed all
judgment to the Son, that all should honor the Son just as they honor the
Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him” (John
5:19-23).
Now,
the way one demonstrates his/ her belief in Jesus Christ as the Eternal God is
by observing the Eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles. This is the day that
the Lord was circumcised and through His circumcision, Gentiles who were called
Uncircumcision and at that time were without Christ, being aliens from the
commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no
hope and without God in the world were brought near to God through the
circumcision of Jesus Christ.
It
is also on that day that, God the Father highly exalted Jesus Christ and gave
Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the
earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the
glory of God the Father.
Here
lies the root cause of the many problems that we face in the Christian
community, which is the failure to ascribe to the Lord the glory due to His
name and following the protocol. For this is what the Lord says; “You shall
keep My Sabbaths and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD” (Leviticus
19:30; 26:2).
Inasmuch
as no problem can truly be resolved unless we deal with the root cause of it,
ascribing to the Lord the glory due to His name in the prescribed manner is the
solution to the plea that we all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions
among us, but that we be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the
same judgment.
