JESUS CHRIST - THE ETERNAL WORD

by Wm. Henry Cash, Jr. (1927 -2012)

                                                              

 

SERMON: THE ETERNAL WORD John 1.1 - 18

 

THE ETERNAL WORD

TEXT:  John 1.1 - 18

Introduction::   We have four Gospels
 protraying the life of Jesus Christ
 from four different points of view:  

Matthew, portrays Christ as the King; 

Mark portrays Christ as the Servant; 

Luke portrays Christ as the Son of Man, 

while John portrays Christ 

as the Son of God.  

ead of Jesus Christ

 is presented in clear view 

T.itus 2.13.   “Looking for that blessed hope,

 and the glorious appearing 

of the great God 

and Saviour Jesus Christ”

 We shall consider two things about the deity of Jesus Christ: 
 CHRIST IS THE ETERNAL WORD. V. 1 - 13
A.   He was IN THE BEGINNING and eternal.    The Lord Jesus Christ  had no beginning. He was with God.
Showing his separate person 

of the Godhead in relation 

to the other persons of the Godhead, 

He was in the beginning. 

 This indicates time

 preceding all things. 

  Micah 5.2  “But thou,  Bethlehem Ephratah, 

though thou be little among

 thousands of Judah, yet out of thee

 shall he come forth unto me 

that is to be  ruler in Israel:  

whose goings forth have been 

from everlasting.” 
       He was the WORD. v.  1, 14.  

This refers 

to the second person of  the Trinity - 

Revelation 1.8   “I am alpha and omega, 

the beginning and the ending, 

saith the LORD

 which is, and which was, and which is to come,

the Almighty.   the Word shows us this:  

   The Medium of manifestation:

He manifested – declared -

 Showed us the Invisible God. 

  The Means of communication: 

He communicated 

the Love of God to us. 

The Method of revelation: 

He revealed God to us by His Life.  

Jesus revealed the Knowledge

of the One True God.   

  John 17.3. “ And this is life eternal, 

that they might know thee 

the only true God 

and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” 

John 14.9  “Jesus saith unto him, 

Have I been so long time with you, 

and yet hast thou not known me,  

Philip?  He that hath 

seen me hath seen the Father; 

and how sayest thou, then, 

Shew us the Father?”
       2 Cor. 4.6 For God, who  commanded 

the light to shine out of darkness, 

hath shined in our hearts, 

to give the light of the knowledge

 of the glory of God

 in the face of Jesus Christ.”
      Jesus Christ is the Creator of the Universe. 

v.3  Colossians 1. 16 –17.  “For by him

were all things created, that are in heaven , 

and that are are on earth, visible or Invisible, 

whether they be thrones or 

dominions, 

or principalities or powers: 

all things were created by him,

 and for himL and he is before all things, 

and by him  all things consist.”  

This passage in John 

brings out the absolute Deity 

of Jesus Christ. 

None but God can create.   
       Jesus is the Light to mankind, to all men.  v. 4 – 5.  

Jesus  is the Fountain of Life – the Life giver.  

He is the Light to all men.   

All are held accountable or held morally 

enlightened by Jesus Christ

Romans 2. 15.  For not the hearers of law

 are just before God, 

but the doers of the law 

shall be justified. 

By nature, all men are spiritual dead.

  Romans 3.23 For all have sinned, 

and come short of the glory of God. 

Eph. 2.1 – 3. And you hath 

he quickened who were dead

 in traspasses and sins: 

2. wherein in time past ye walked 

according to thecourse of the world, 

according to the prince of the 

power of the air, the spirit

 that now worketh 

in the children of disobedience: 

3. among whom also we all had 

our conversation in times past

 in the lusts of our flesh,

 fulfilling the desires of the flesh 

and of the mind; 

and were by nature 

the children of wrath.” 

The Law Demands

 Righteousness from men. v.14 – 17. 

Grace brings righteousness to men.  

The Law sentences a living man to death, 

but Grace brings Life to a dead man. 

Law brings the knowledge of Sin;   

Grace puts away the sin.  

Law brought God out to man,

 but Grace brings men to God. 

CHRIST revealed the FATHER. v.18  

No man hath seen God at any time; 

the only begotten Son, 

which is in the bosom of the Father, 

he hath declared him.” 

Christ  declared  the Father.  

When a ship is being loaded, 

a crate must show “declaration”  

which mean the contents 

are manifested to those 

loading the boat.

 Christ manifested declared 

THE FATHER GOD

 is fully revealed in Jesus Christ.   

I John 1. 5 – 7  v.5. 

This then is the message 

which we have heard of him,

 that God is light, and in him 

s no darkness at all. 

V.6. If we say that we have fellowship with him, 

and walk in darkness, we lie, 

and do not the truth.

 But if we walk in the light, 

as he is in the light, 

we have fellowship 

one with another, 

and the blood of Jesus Christ

 His Son cleanseth us from all Sin.

In closing, 

 For those who have not received Him,  

do receive CHRIST as your Savior, 

 John 1.12   As many as received him, 

to them gave he power to become 

the sons of God, even to them

 that believe on his name.
 For those 

who have already received Christ,

 I ask you to place your life in His hands.  

He is able, He is willing.  

Philippians 4.13 I can do all things

 through Christ 

which strengtheneth me.                                
                                               

 John 14.6 

I AM THE WAY, 

THE TRUTH,

AND THE LIFE,

NO MAN COMETH UNTO

THE FATHER,

BUT 

BY 

ME.

 

LIVING AS THOUGH IT MATTERS - Lilaclady Junebug2 (June Estelle Cash)

 

WALKING BY FAITH
 - I KEEP CLIMBING  -
LIVING AS THOUGH IT MATTERS  

Here in Blaine WA,  My Home By the Sea,

I had brother Tom, his wife Tencha, sister Cheryl

and John Wojdak, with me found ourselves

reunited for "a little time" together.

In this life of ours, 

Do you LIVE AS THOUGH

IT REALLY MATTERS? 

As I think about my life

here in Blaine, WA

I am sure that my life 

DOES MATTER.

SO. 

I  AM LIVING WITH ETERNITY

IN MY VIEW 

AS BEING 

A REAL

SURETY.

We will either live eternally

for ever with God

or with out Him,

depending on 

HOW WE VIEW LIFE

right now 

for 

Jesus said, 

JOHN 12. 48 

He that rejecteth me, 

and receiveth not 

my words, 

hath one 

that judgeth him: 

the Word which I have

spoken, 

the same  shall judge

him in the last day.

Again, 

Jesus said, 

I  am the Light of the world;

he that followeth me, 

shall not 

walk in darkness,

but shall

have 

the light 

of life.

John 8.12  

How precious TIME is.

How much do you value your TIME?

How much do you value your LIFE? 

Some years ago, we 

traveled all over, while my 

husband was ministering to folk. 

And now, I am here, 

dependent upon others

to take me places 

and get me to my 

needed appointments 

and business.

How do you view

your Life ? 

Does it matter to you 

How you perceive Your Self 

will to a large amount

determine 

WHETHER IT MATTERS OR NOT ! 

My Life is TO BE LIVED 

by June Estelle Cash 1991 

Life is to be lived, 

one 

step 

at a time

until 

we arrive at the crest,

Wistfully looking at

the horizon

below, and before

one step

begins 

the  descent

around

and 

down...

All the while

remembering 

the splash of colors

the shadows and shapes

the hint 

of glory to come.

Life is to be lived, 

Until 

we reach our Final Home,

Heaven, or 

Hell, 

For the Believing One 

Heaven 

is My Home.

For the One who 

rejects 

Believing in 

the Lord Jesus Christ

as the only 

Begotten of the Father

who came 

to Redeem Us

and to 

Save Us

from our lost 

condition.

John 3.16 

Jesus said, 

For God so loved the world

that he gave his only  begotten

Son that whoso ever believeth 

in him should not perish,

but 

have everlasting life.

Again, 

John chapter 3.17

For God sent not his Son

into the world 

to condemn the 

world

but that the world

through him

might be saved.

Jesus was speaking this

to Nicodemus.

It is over 

and 

over

again

that Jesus made

the claim

that if a person

believed in Him and 

took His Word 

as True

then they

would find

it really MATTERED.

SO I SAY TO YOU

DOES IT MATTER?

ARE YOU WILLING

TO SAY?

I am a sinner 

in 

need of a 

Savior? 

 

ARE YOU WILLING

TO AGREE

with 

God that 

without Him,

you 

are in the 

darkness

walking 

as though

you had nowhere to go

and 

only 

living for what 

life gives you today

in the moment

of 

pleasure 

or 

passing 

interest,

and 

what 

you love most 

right now

is 

just your Self.

Just as the Purple Aster - is faithful to come 

back every year, it roots down in the earth, and 

it displays its character.

Jesus said, 
John 14.6 
I am the Way, the Truth
and the Life;
No man cometh 
to the Father,
but by me." 
Again he said, 
John 14.36
He that believeth on the Son
hath everlasting life; 
and he that believeth not
the Son 
shall not see Life,
but the wrath of God 
abideth on him.

Does it matter to You?  
that 
Christ dieds for our sins?
I Corinthians 15. 3,4
tell us 
in the words of 
Paul the Apostle
"For I delivered unto you
first of all, 
that which I also received, 
that Christ died for our sins 
according to the Scriptures,
and that he was buried,
and that he rose again 
the third day 
according to 
the Scriptures.

When Jesus was born 
He did not begin there.
John 1.1 - 4  tells us 
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.
All things were
made by him,
and without him
was not 
anything
made
that was made.
In him was life,
and the life
was the light of men.

So I leave you with this 

thought, 

that it matters 

if I live 

as though 

it matters.

Taking God at His Word,

you can start right now

to trust His 

Word

and 

live 

as though

it really DOES 

MATTER.

Determined to keep on

posting, I know I have

macular degeneration

and could be blind any

moment. 

But for the little

time I have,

I will 

keep on

climbing 

ever higher

and 

one day

I will be

with my precious

Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus said,

Matthew 10.32 - 40

that it costs 

something 

to follow 

Him.

10.32 Whosoever 

therefore shall confess me

before men, him will I

confess also before 

my Father

which is in heaven.

33. But whosoever

shall deny me 

before men 

him will I also deny

before my Father

which is in heaven. 

34. Think not that I

am come to send 

peace on earth; 

I came not to send

peace, but 

a 

sword;

35. For 

I am come to set

a man at variance

against his father,

and 

the daughter

against her mother, and 

the daughter-in-law against

her mother-in-law.

36. And a man's

foes shall be they of his own

household.

37 He that 

loveth father or mother

more than me 

is not worthy 

of me;

and he that

loveth 

son or daughter

more than me

is not

worthy of me.

38. and he that taketh not 

his cross, and

followeth after me,

is not worthy of me.

39. He that findeth

his life shall lose it;

and he that loseth his life

for my sake

shall find it.

40. He that receiveth

you

receiveth me, and

he that receiveth me,

receiveth 

Him that sent me.

So by trusting Jesus

because it MATTERS to you

and 

He paid the price of your sin

fully 

completey

and 

said

"it is finished" 

when he died on the Cross.

And he rose from the grave,

by the power of 

His Resurrection

you and I have

a life to life that

really matters.

Colossians 1.27 

Christ in you, the hope of glory

is the revealed 

truth 

we can believe.

Only to be 

what He wants me to be

Every moment

of every day,

Yielded 

completely 

to Jesus alone,

Every step of my 

pilgrim way.

Just to clay in the

potter's hand,

Ready to do 

what His Word 

commands,

Only to be 

what He wants me to be

Every moment 

of Every 

Day.

These Brown eyed Susans are 

happily blooming today on my

patio.   I want to bloom for Him.

How about you?

How about your heart?

TEXT:   ROMANS 5.1 - 13   

A Sermon by Wm H Cash Jr 

1927 - 2012 

August 1958 First Baptist Church

Crescent OR  Evening Service.

5.1  Therefore being justified by faith, 

we have peace with God 

through our 

Lord Jesus Christ.

5.2 By whom also we have 

access by faith 

into this grace wherein we 

stand, and rejoice 

in hope of the glory 

of God. 

5.3  And not only so, 

but we glory in tribulations 

also: knowing

that tribulation

worketh patience; 

5.4  And patience, 

experience; and experience

hope; 

5.5 And hope maketh 

not ashamed, because 

the love of God 

is shed abroad 

in our hearts 

by the Holy Ghost 

which is given unto us.

5.6  For when we were yet 

without strength, 

in due time Christ died 

for the ungodly.

5.7 For scarcely for a righteous

man will one die: yet 

peradventure for a 

good man 

some would even dare

to die.

5.8  But God commendeth 

His love toward us, in that 

while we were yet sinners, 

Christ died for us.

5.9  Much more than, being

now justified by His blood, 

we shall be saved 

from wrath 

through him.

5.10  For if, when we were 

enemies, we were 

reconciled to God 

by the death of his Son, 

much more, 

being reconciled, 

we shall be saved by 

His Life.     

5.11   And not only so, 

but we also joy in God 

through our Lord Jesus Christ

by whom we have 

now received 

the atonement. 

5.12   Wherefore, as by one 

man sin entered into the 

world,  and death by sin;

 and so death passed upon all men

for that all have sinned; 

5.13  (For until the law 

sin was in the world: 

but sin is not imputed 

when there is no law.

 Many professing Christians today are 

unstable, uncertain, and constantly 

seeking for "revival" but 

in themselves do not have joy, 

nor do they seem to know

victory over 

the lust of the flesh, 

the lust of the eyes,

and 

the pride of life.

I John 2.15, 16

15. Love not the world, 

neither the things that are in 

the world. If any man 

love the world, the love 

of the Father is not in him.

16. For all that is in the world, 

the lust of the flesh, 

and the lust of the eyes, 

and the pride of life,

is not of the Father,

but is of the world.

II Corinthians 15.58 

Therefore, 

my beloved brethren, 

be ye steadfast,

unmoveable,

always abounding 

in the work of the 

Lord, 

forasmuch as ye know 

that your labour is not 

in vain in the Lord. 

Our Lord wants us to be 

fruitful, and constant.

Jesus told the disciples

"If ye abide in me, 

and my words abide in you,

ye shall ask what ye will,

and it shall be done unto you.

John 15.7 

Before Jesus went to the Cross, 

he told the disciples 

"These things have I spoken

unto you, that in me 

you might have peace. 

In the world ye shall 

have tribulation, 

but be of good cheer, 

I have overcome the

world." 

OUR FAITH IS THE 

VICTORY 

THAT OVERCOMES

THE WORLD.

1 John 5.4 

Whatsoever is born of God 

overcometh the world: and 

this is the victory 

that overcometh 

the world, 

even our faith.

LET US CONSIDER 

THINGS ABOUT 

OUR VICTORY

I.

IT IS A WAY OF LIFE

As "justified" 

I have been declared 

legally by God

through 

the blood of Jesus 

NOT GUILTY.

All have sinned and

come short of the 

glory of God 

Romans 3.23

is followed

by verse 

24 

which states 

"being justified freely

by his grace 

through the 

redemption

that is in Christ". 

\Our Saviour leads today

into victory 

Jesus fulfilled everything 

needed 

for us 

to live 

this victorious life.

Psalm 55.22 

Cast thy burden upon 

the LORD; and He shall sustain 

thee

Matthew 11.28 - 30 

Come unto me 

All ye that labour and 

are heavy laden, and

I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you,

and learn of me, 

for I am meek 

and lowly in heart; 

and ye shall find 

rest 

unto your souls, 

for my yoke 

is easy 

and my

burden 

is light. 

As we pick up the yoke

Christ offers, 

It is HE THAT 

BEARS THE LOAD

Instead of focusing

on how big the load is,

let us 

LET GOD LIFT OUR LOADS.

ROMANS 12.1,2  

I Beseech you therefore, brethren,

by the mercies of God

to present your bodies 

a living sacrifice 

unto God, 

which is your 

reasonable 

service.

and be not 

conformed 

to the world,

but be ye 

TRANSFORMED 

by the renewing of 

your mind,  

that ye may prove

what is that good,

and acceptable,

and perfect, 

will of God.  

GALATIANS 2.20 

I am crucified with Christ: 

nevertheless, I live, yet not

I, but Christ liveth

in me, 

and the life

which 

I now live 

in the flesh, 

I live 

by the faith 

of the  

Son of God 

who loved me 

and gave himself 

for me.  

When a certain man was 

carrying his bundle 

on his back 

down the 

road 

he was 

struggling 

with his burden.

A wagon driven 

by a man who offered

to let him 

ride with him

in the wagon.

The traveler 

then got into the wagon,

and sat down.

Sometime later

the driver looked 

back to see how 

his guest was 

doing, 

and he noticed

that 

the 

man still had

the pack on his

back.

He did not let 

go of it.

SO WE TAKE OUR LOAD 

TO THE LORD 

AND LEAVE IT THERE.

HE PROMISED TO 

LIFT OUR LOAD

OUR 

BURDEN

OUR 

NEEDS

OUR HEART CRY 

FOR HELP

II  VICTORY IN DEATH 

Through Christ we have victory 

not only over life,

but over death.

Isaiah 25.8 - 9  

8. He will swallow up 

death in victory; and 

the LORD God will 

wipe away tears 

from all faces; 

and the rebuke of

his people 

shall he take

away 

from off 

all the earth: 

for the LORD hath 

spoken it.

v.9  And it shall 

be said in that day

"Lo, this is our God, 

We have waited for Him,

we will rejoice and 

be glad in 

His Salvation." 

Y'SHUA 

in Matthew 1.21 

"Thou shalt call his name

JESUS for he shall save his 

people from their sins.

Being dead to sin 

and alive to God 

Being justified 

Being sanctified 

we not only 

are 

IN POSITION 

WITH CHRIST 

IN THE HEAVENLIES

III. VICTORY IN THE FUTURE 

WILL COME.  

IN GOD'S EYES

WE ARE 

ALREADY 

SEATED 

WITH JESUS

AT 

THE RIGHT

HAND 

OF THE FATHER.

IN GOD'S EYES

PAST 

PRESENT 

AND 

FUTURE 

ARE 

ALL IN HIS HANDS.

JESUS IS CALLING US

TO FOLLOW HIM

HE HAS MADE THE WAY

HE DWELLS IN US 

THROUGH THE 

DEAR 

SPIRIT 

THE HOLY GHOST

WHO 

WILL

ALWAYS 

EXALT 

JESUS 

TO THE 

GLORY 

OF

GOD THE FATHER

In my next post 

I will talk about 

GOD'S VICTORY

in the Future.
