And
I appoint to you a kingdom as my Father[1]
has appointed to me (Luke 22:29)
[1] The
Godhead, not the “first person of the trinity” is Jesus’ father. Luke 1:35 and
Matthew 1:20 both identify the Holy Spirit as the one Jesus was conceived by.
Isn’t the one conceived by usually considered a child’s father? But theologians
consistently identify a “first person of the trinity” as Jesus father, while at
the same time identifying the Holy Spirit as the “second person of the trinity.”
They are wrong on both counts. The infinite Godhead itself—which cannot be
understood by finite humans—is the Father of Messiah, who is God himself. The
Bible says that All the
fullness of the Godhead dwells in Jesus in physical form (Colossians 2:9). This
does away with wrong ideas about hierarchy within the Godhead.
