Isaiah 42:1
“Behold! My (Father God) Servant (Jesus) whom I uphold, My Elect One in whom My soul delights! I have put My Spirit upon Him; He will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.”
Isaiah 48:12-16
“Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel, My called: I am He, I am the First, I am also the Last. Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens … I, even I, have spoken; yes, I have called him, I have brought him, and his way will prosper. Come near to Me, hear this: I (Jesus) have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, I was there, and now the Lord GOD and His Spirit have sent Me.”
Note: Father God promises to come to His people in the form of His Servant Jesus. Yes, the Word/Logos/Jesus/Son of God was with Father God from the very beginning (
John 1:1), except He was not called "Jesus", "Son of God",
until He was on earth.
Matthew 3:16-17
“When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him. And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ‘This is My beloved Son, in whom I (Father God) am well pleased.’ ”
Matthew 28:19
“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit …”
Question: Why one name? ... Why not 3 separate names?
Answer: Perhaps, They are All meant to be looked upon as One God.
Luke 1:35
“The Holy Spirit will come upon you (Mary), and the power of the Highest will over-shadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One (Jesus) who is to be born will be called the Son of (Father) God.”
John 14:26
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My (Jesus) name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."
John 15:26
“But when the Helper comes, whom I (Jesus) shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.”
Acts 2:38-39
“Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our (Father) God will call.’ ”
Acts 7:54-56
“When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him (Stephen) with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of (Father) God, and said, ‘Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!’ ”
Romans 8:11
“But if the Spirit of Him (Father God) who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”
1 Corinthians 6:11
“But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our (Father) God.”
2 Corinthians 13:14
“The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of (Father) God,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.”
Ephesians 2:18
“For through Him (Jesus) we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.”
Titus 3:5-6
“… according to His (Father God’s) mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior …”
I see the 3 Persons of the Godhead having different functions, such as:
Father = The CEO
Son = The Administrator
Holy Spirit = The Work-horse
And it was the Word (the Logos) who came to earth
and became flesh (Jesus Christ).
He was "called" the Son of God because the Holy Spirit was His "father".
In God's Plan it could be no other way; Jesus could not have a human father.
