The Light of the World, The Light of the Life, The Logos of the Deity

The Logos

Jesus Christ is the Logos of the Deity in human form. This Logos, spoken to us by the Messiah, gives us an introduction to the Logic of the Father Deity: His Rationale, His Reasoning, the Way He Thinks: His Logic. It soon becomes apparent that the Logic of the Deity is completely opposite to Human Logic. As we become doers of this Divine Rationale, we prove its efficacy and everything begins to change for us: our thinking, our attitudes, our actions and ultimately our abilities.

The Logos of the Deity

As the banner on this web site says, Jesus/Yehoshua/Joshua, IS the rationale of the Almighty God. In the Greek New Testament (NT), He is plainly called the LOGOS of the Father Deity. But what really do we mean by the LOGOS of the Deity and where do we find it?

It is to be found in the spoken words of Jesus Himself recorded in the NT.

In the first of the following slides, I have presented 86 logoses (if there can be such a word) that Jesus spoke. This is not a complete listing and never can be, since these are given to us in a book, but as we walk the walk there is more logos given us by God's Spirit which we must also obey if we wish to walk in the fullness of what the Father offers us in Christ.
But these logoses are not just to be listened to and assented to mentally. They are given to us that we might do them. And why should we to do them? Their beauty is, that as we do them, we prove the efficacy of them, and we subsequently adopt this new and much better way of thinking as we see the change it brings about in us. As our thinking changes so do our attitudes and consequently our behaviour.

The second slide records for us the necessity for us to be doers of this logos. We are not just told 3-4 times to be doers of them, but we are told some 46 times. It is of utmost importance that we be doers of His logos.
The doing of this logos is absolutely necessary if we wish to experience the salvation of our souls (James 1: 19ff).

This Rationale, this Reasoning, this Logic of the Deity is found in the following words of the Son of the Deity, Jesus Christ .

…Not on bread alone shall man be living, but on every declaration going out through the mouth of Yahweh.Matt. 4:4
You hear that it was declared to the ancients, 'You shall not murder.' Yet whoever should be murdering shall be liable to the judging. Yet I am saying to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be liable to the judging. Yet whoever may be saying to his brother, 'Raka!' shall be liable to the Sanhedrin. Yet whoever may be saying, 'Stupid!' shall be liable into the Gehenna of the fire.Matt. 5:21-22
You hear that it was declared, 'You shall not be committing adultery.' Yet I am saying to you that every man looking at a woman to lust for her already commits adultery with her in his heart.Matt. 5:27-28
Now it was declared, Whoever should be dismissing his wife, let him be giving her a divorce. Yet I am saying to you that everyone dismissing his wife (outside of a case of prostitution) is making her commit adultery, and whosoever should be marrying her who has been dismissed is committing adultery.Matt. 5:31-32
Now I am saying to you that whoever should be dismissing his wife (not for prostitution) and should be marrying another, is committing adultery, and he who marries her who has been dismissed, is committing adultery.Matt. 19:9
And He is saying to them, "Whosoever should be dismissing his wife and should be marrying another is committing adultery against her. And if she, dismissing her husband, should ever be marrying another, she is committing adultery."Mark 10:11-12
Everyone dismissing his wife and marrying another is committing adultery. And everyone marrying her who has been dismissed from a husband, is committing adultery.Luke 16:18
Again, you hear that it was declared to the ancients, You shall not be perjuring, yet you shall be paying to the Lord (Yahweh) your oaths. Yet I am saying to you absolutely not to swear, neither by heaven, for it is the throne of the God, nor by the earth, for it is a footstool for His feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King; nor by your head should you be swearing, for you are not able to make one hair white or black. Yet let your word be 'Yes, Yes,' 'No, No.' Now what is in excess of these is of the wicked one.Matt. 5:33-37
You hear that it was declared, 'An eye for an eye,' and 'A tooth for a tooth.' Yet I am saying to you not to withstand a wicked person, but anyone who slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also.Matt. 5:38-39
You hear that it was declared, 'You shall be loving your associate' and you shall be hating your enemy. Yet I am saying to you, Love your enemies, and pray for those who are persecuting you,Matt. 5:43-44
…Be doing ideally to those who are hating you. Bless those who are cursing you. Pray concerning those who are maligning you.Luke 6:27-28
Moreover, be loving your enemies, and be doing good, and be lending, expecting nothing from them, and your wages will be vast in the heavens, and you will be sons of the Most High, for He is kind to the ungrateful and wicked.Luke 6:35
If, then, you should be offering your gift on the altar, and there you should be reminded that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there, in front of the altar, and go away. First be placated toward your brother, and then, coming, be offering your gift.Matt. 5:23-24
And if your eye should be snaring you, cast it out. It is ideal for you to be entering into the kingdom of the God one-eyed, rather than, having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna,Mark 9:47
And if your eye is snaring you, wrench it out and cast it from you. Is it ideal for you to be entering into life one-eyed, or, having two eyes, to be cast into the Gehenna of the fire?Matt. 18:9
And if your hand should ever be snaring you, strike it off. It is ideal for you to be entering into life maimed, rather than, having two hands, to come away into the Gehenna, into the fire, the inextinguishable fire.Mark 9:43
Now, if your hand or your foot is snaring you, strike it off and cast it from you. Is it ideal for you to be entering into life maimed or lame, or, having two hands or two feet, to be cast into the age-lasting fire?Matt. 18:8
And if your foot should be snaring you, strike it off. For it is ideal for you to be entering into life maimed or lame, rather than, having two feet, to be cast into the Gehenna. Mark 9:45
To him who requests you, give; and from him who wants to borrow from you, you may not turn. Matt. 5:42
And you should not be preventing him who is taking away your cloak from taking your tunic also. Now you, be giving to everyone who is requesting, and from him who is taking away what is yours be not demanding it.Luke 6:30
And anyone who conscripts you one mile, go with him two.Matt. 5:41
Whenever, then, you may be doing alms, you should not be trumpeting in front of you, even as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they should be glorified by men. Yet you, doing alms, let not your left hand know what your right is doing,Matt. 6:2
And whenever you may be praying, you shall not be as the hypocrites, for they are fond of standing in the synagogues and at the corners of the squares to be praying, so that they may appear to men.…Matt. 6:5
Now, in praying, you should not use useless repetitions even as those of the nations. For they are supposing that they will be hearkened to in their verbosity. Do not, then, be like them, for aware is the God, your Father, of what you have need before you request Him.Matt. 6:7-8
Now whenever you may be fasting, become not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance, for they disguise their faces so that they may appear to men to be fasting. … Now you, when fasting, rub your head with oil and wash your face…Matt. 6:16
How can you believe, getting glory from one another, and are not seeking the glory which is from God alone?John 5:44
Now no one can be slaving for two lords, for either he will be hating the one and loving the other, or will be upholding one and despising the other. You can not be slaving for God and mammon.Matt. 6:24
Now He said to His disciples, "Therefore I am saying to you, Do not worry about the soul, what you may be eating, nor yet about your body, what you should be putting on, for the soul is more than nourishment and the body than apparel.Luke 12:22-23
Consider the ravens, that they are not sowing, neither are they reaping, for which there is no storeroom nor yet barn, and the God is nurturing them. Of how much more consequence are you than the flying creatures!Luke 12:24
Consider the anemones, how they are growing. They are not toiling, neither are they spinning; yet I am saying to you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed as one of these. Now if the God is thus garbing the grass in the field, which is today and tomorrow is cast into the stove, how much rather you, scant of faith?Luke 12:27-28
And do not you be seeking what you may be eating and what you may be drinking, and be not in suspense.Luke 12:29
Do not hoard for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and corrosion are causing them to disappear, and where thieves are tunnelling and stealing. Yet hoard for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor corrosion are causing them to disappear, and where thieves are not tunnelling nor stealing; for wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be also.Matt. 6:19-21
However, be seeking the kingdom of God, and all these things will be added to you. Do not fear, little flocklet, for it delights your Father to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give alms. Make yourselves purses which do not age, a treasure which does not default, in the heavens where a thief is not nearing, neither moth is causing decay. For wherever your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Luke 12:31-34
Now who of you by worrying is able to add on to his stature one cubit? If, then, you are not even able for the least, why are you worrying about the rest?Luke 12:25-26
Therefore I am saying to you, Do not worry about your soul, what you may be eating, or what you may be drinking, nor yet about your body, what you should be putting on. Is not the soul more than nourishment, and the body than apparel? Matt. 6:25
You, then, should not be worrying, saying, 'What may we be eating?' or 'What may we be drinking?' or 'With what may we be clothed?'… Yet seek first the kingdom and its righteousness, and these all shall be added to you.Matt. 6:31, 33
You should not, then, be worrying about the morrow, for the morrow will be worrying of itself. Sufficient for the day is its own evil.Matt. 6:34
Do not judge, lest you may be judged.Matt. 7:1
And be not judging, and under no circumstances may you be judged; and be not convicting, and under no circumstances may you be convicted; be releasing, and you shall be released; be giving, and it shall be given to you: a measure ideal, squeezed down and shaken together and running over, shall they be giving into your bosom. For the same measure with which you are measuring will be measured to you again."Luke 6:37-38
Now why are you observing the mote in your brother's eye, yet the beam in your own eye you are not considering? Or how can you be saying to your brother, 'Brother, let me extract the mote in your eye,' observing not, yourself, the beam in your eye? Hypocrite! Extract first the beam out of your eye, and then you will be keen-sighted to be extracting the mote in your brother's eye.Luke 6:41-42
All, then, whatever you should be wanting that men should be doing to you, thus you, also, be doing to them, for this is the law and the prophets.Matt. 7:12
You should not be acquiring gold, nor yet silver, nor yet copper in your girdles, no beggar's bag for the road, Nor yet two tunics, nor yet sandals, nor yet a club; for worthy is the worker of his nourishment.Matt. 10:9-10
And do not fear those who are killing the body, yet are not able to kill the soul. Yet be fearing Him, rather, Who is able to destroy the soul as well as the body in Gehenna. Matt. 10:28
He who is fond of father or mother above Me is not worthy of Me. And he who is fond of son or daughter above Me is not worthy of Me. Matt. 10:37
And he who is not taking his cross and following after Me is not worthy of Me.Matt. 10:38
If anyone is coming to Me and is not hating his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and still more his soul besides, he can not be My disciple. Luke 14:26
And anyone who is not bearing his cross and coming after Me, can not be My disciple.Luke 14:27
Thus, then, everyone of you who is not taking leave of all of his possessions, can not be My disciple.Luke 14:33
Now He said to all, "If anyone is wanting to come after Me, let him disown himself and pick up his cross daily and follow Me.Luke 9:23
Yet Jesus is saying to him, "Be following Me, and leave the dead to entomb their own dead."Matt. 8:22
Then, approaching, Peter said to Him, "Lord, how many times shall my brother be sinning against me and I shall be pardoning him? Till seven times?" Jesus is saying to him, "I am not saying to you 'Till seven times,' but 'Till seventy times and seven.'Matt. 18:21-22
Was it not binding on you also to be merciful to your fellow slave, as I also am merciful to you?' … Thus shall My heavenly Father also be doing to you, if each one should not be pardoning his brother, from your hearts.Matt. 18:33, 35
…"Which (commandments)?" Now Jesus said, "These: 'You shall not be murdering.' 'You shall not be committing adultery.' 'You shall not be stealing.' 'You shall not be testifying falsely.'…Matt. 19:18, 20
Jesus states to him, "If you are wanting to be complete, go, sell your possessions and be giving to the poor, and you will be having treasure in the heavens. And hither! Follow Me."Matt. 19:20
With the precepts you are acquainted: You should not be murdering. You should not be committing adultery. You should not be stealing. You should not be testifying falsely. You should not be cheating. 'Be honouring your father and mother.Mark 10:19
"Now Jesus, looking at him, loves him, and said to him, "Still one thing you are wanting. Go. Whatever you have, sell, and be giving to the poor, and you will be having treasure in heaven. And hither! Follow Me, picking up the cross."Mark 10:21
Now hearing this, Jesus said to him, "Still one thing you are lacking. All, whatever you have, sell, and distribute to the poor, and you will be having treasure in the heavens. And hither! Follow Me."Luke 18:22
Jesus answered him that "The foremost precept of all is: Hear, Israel! Yahweh the God of us, Yahweh is one. And, You shall be loving Yahweh the God of you out of your whole heart, and out of your whole soul, and out of your whole comprehension, and out of your whole strength. This is the foremost precept. And the second is like it: 'You shall be loving your associate as yourself.' Now greater than these is no other precept."Mark 12:29-31
Now you may not be called 'Rabbi,' for One is your Teacher, yet you all are brothers. And 'father' you should not be calling one of you on the earth, for One is your Father, the heavenly. Nor yet may you be called preceptors, for One is your Preceptor, the Christ.Matt. 23:8-10
For whosoever may be wanting to save his soul will be destroying it, yet whoever shall be destroying his soul on account of Me and of the evangel will be saving it. Mark 8:35
For whosoever may be wanting to save his soul, shall be destroying it, yet whoever should be destroying his soul on My account, he shall be saving it. Luke 9:24

…But whosoever may be wanting to become great among you, let him be your servant, and whoever may be wanting to be foremost among you, let him be your slave.Matt. 20:26-27
Yet you are not thus, but let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and he who is leading as he who is serving.Luke 22:26

Whenever you may be invited by anyone to wedding festivities, you may not recline in the first reclining place, lest at some time one held in honor more than you may be invited by him,… But, whenever you may be invited, going, lean back in the last place, that whenever he who has invited you may be coming, he will be declaring to you, 'Friend, step further up.' Then glory will be yours in the sight of all those lying back at table with you.Luke 14:8, 10
Now He said to them, "See and guard against all greed, for one's life is not in the superfluity of his possessions."Luke 12:15
Now He said to him also who has invited Him, "Whenever you may be making a luncheon or a dinner, do not be summoning your friends, nor yet your brothers, nor yet your relatives, nor yet rich neighbours, lest at some time they also should be inviting you in return, and repayment may come to you.Luke 14:12
Take heed to yourselves. If ever your brother should be sinning, rebuke him, and if ever he should repent, forgive him. And if ever he should be sinning against you seven times a day, and if ever he should be turning about seven times a day to you, saying 'I am repenting,' you shall be forgiving him."Mark 11:25# And whenever you may be standing praying, be forgiving, if you have anything against anyone, that your Father also, Who is in the heavens, may be forgiving you your offences.

The Requirement to be Doers of this Rationale (if we want to see change in our lives), is seen in the following words of Jesus and others in the New Testament.
