The Godhead-Forever One
The sermon emphasizes the indivisibility of the Godhead, highlighting the unity and oneness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
The preacher discusses the concept of conformity with the image of Christ, emphasizing the transformation of believers' physical bodies to be like His glorified body, enabling perfect fellowship with God for eternity. This process of transformation is ongoing, with believers being continually changed to reflect Christ's character and nature, ultimately leading to glorification. The preacher highlights the assurance of believers receiving new, glorified bodies at Christ's return, contrasting it with temporary solutions like cryonic suspension, and emphasizes the power of God to accomplish this transformation.
Text
When Christ Jesus died on that unholy, fly-infested cross for mankind, He never divided the Godhead! We are assured from the earliest church fathers that the Father in heaven, His eternal Son, and the Holy Ghost are forever One-inseparable, indivisible-and can never be anything else. Not all of Nero's swords could ever cut down through the substance of the Godhead to cut off the Father from the Son. It was Mary's son who cried out, "Why hast Thou forsaken me?" It was the human body which God had given Him. It was the sacrifice that cried-the lamb about to die! The Son of Man knew himself forsaken. God dumped that vast, filthy, slimy mass of human sin on the soul of the Savior-and then backed away.
Believe it that the ancient and timeless Deity was never separated.
He was still in the bosom of the Father when He cried, "Into Thy hands I commend my spirit!" Little wonder that we are amazed and marvel every day at the wonder of the ancient theology of the Christian church!
