Logos - The big idea

If a person wants to go ahead with something significant they have to start off with an idea, and how it is going to work and what is the intention for doing it.
The Logos was the Word, from the mind of God, the big idea which spoke all of creation into being for his own purpose and intention and which now sustains and upholds all of creation with that Word of power. That Word from that thought, is Jesus, the Logos made flesh. That was and is God’s big idea. That is what gives our lives meaning and purpose.
God knows the design and purpose for every particle of matter in the universe and he has set that in motion. That includes his big idea for us, to see him in our minds - ordering our hearts and minds to respond with trust and faith in every circumstance, difficult or favourable, that faces us.

We have a known past, a challenging present and an uncertain future. According to how we think and what we think, we are creating a better or a worse future.
It is natural for a person’s mind to dwell on the challenges and problems of the present moment, or the things of the past, and the apprehension for the future. Those thoughts are always accompanied by an emotion.

But our minds need to be wrapped up in the big idea, the lifechanging idea that gives our lives true meaning no matter what the past or present looks like. That big idea of Logos can sit above every other thought and disengage the negative emotion from every other negative or problematic thought.

Many have promised a better future for whoever will believe their ideas or their ideology for a better world.
1Corinthians 14:10 There are so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without significance.
Jesus predicted that people would be swamped by a multitude of deceptive big ideas.
John 5:43 you do not receive me but there is another who will come in his own name whom you will receive…
We are living in a time when many people want to believe in anything new that might promise an idealistic future with more personal benefits. But many have not learned history or learned from history the struggles to achieve good and Godly government, and so personal discontent can open them up to false hopes in mistaken big ideas and ideologies. That is how Marxism was received and believed by millions upon millions of people who were and still are being destroyed by its principles.
Jesus brought the most radical new idea that mankind had ever heard of. The mind of God with a magnificent big idea for everyone - And the spiritual battle is for the mind of man – The trophy is the heart of man.

He said he was the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End’. He said ‘I am the way the truth and the life’ and ‘I am the light of the world’ and ‘Before Abraham was, I am’ and ‘I am the true vine and you are the branches and my Father is the husbandman’ and ‘I am the good shepherd’ and ‘I am the resurrection and the life’ and ‘I am the bread of life’. That was from the mind of Logos -The Big Idea that delivers truth and salvation.
So we base our hopes upon what we know and we become very serious about what we think.
We need to know why we think what we think? Proverbs 23.7 As he thinks in his heart so is he.
We let the seed of that Big Idea grow in our hearts and multiply its fruit in our lives.

Psalm 72:6 There will be a handful of grain in the earth, on the top of the mountains. Its fruit shall wave like Lebanon; And those of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth
