Jesus is the word
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.
One God, Three Persons
Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth. Go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Matthew 28:19 does not say ‘names’ in the plural, but rather ‘the name’ in the singular. So, the three persons have a single essence of identity. This is the meaning of Triunity – one God, eternally existent in three Persons who have the same, single essence of deity.
The Word became flesh
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Jesus to be honoured with the Father
that all may honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He who doesn’t honour the Son doesn’t honour the Father who sent him.
