One such representation of Logos in Gnostic scriptures is the Son of God, Lord Jesus Christ. “The Logos knows the agreement in the lust for power of the two orders. To these and to all the others, He graciously granted their desire. He gave to each one the appropriate rank, and it was ordered that each one be a ruler over a place and an activity. He yields to the place of the One more exalted than Himself, in order to command the other places in an activity which is in the allotted activity which falls to Him to have control over because of His mode of being. As a result, there are commanders and subordinates in positions of domination and subjection among the angels and archangels, while the activities are of various types and are different.” “Over all the archons (rulers) He appointed an Archon with no one commanding him. He is the lord of all of them, that is, the countenance which the Logos brought forth in His thought as a representation of the Father of the Totalities. Therefore, He is adorned with every which a representation of Him, since He is characterized by every property and glorious quality. For He too is called ‘father’ and ‘god’ and ‘demiurge’ and ‘king and ‘judge’ and ‘place’ and ‘dwelling’ and ‘law.’” “He established workers and servants, assisting in what He will do and what He will say, for in every place where He worked, He left His countenance in His beautiful name, effecting and speaking of the things which He thinks about. He established in His place images of the light which appeared and of those things which are spiritual, though they were of His own essence. For, thus they were honored in every place by Him, being pure, from the countenance of the One who appointed them, and they were established: paradises and kingdoms and rests and promises and multitudes of servants of His will, and though they are lords of dominions, they are set beneath the One who is Lord, the One who appointed them. After He listened to Him in this way, properly, about the lights, which are the source and the system, He set them over the beauty of the things below.”
