“28 I came out from the Father and have come into the world; again, I am leaving the world and going to the Father.”
Dear people of God, there is a group of Christians who say Jesus Christ is the Son of God but not God.
In today’s lead Holy Bible text, the Lord Jesus says He came out from the Father and came into the world. What does this mean? It simply means He was within the Father before He came out into the world.
This, of course, is why Jesus is called the Word of God as stated in John 1:1.
As a man here on earth, see what the Lord Jesus said in His prayer to God in John 17:5, “And now, Father, glorify Me along with Yourself and restore Me to such majesty and honor in Your presence as I had with You before the world existed.”
Here we see clearly that Jesus refers to His Divinity because He made reference to the fact that He had majesty and honor in God’s presence before the world existed.
Even though Jesus existed in His Divinity before He came into this world, He was 100% human when He entered His world for the purpose of redeeming mankind from the works of the devil who made man sin against God.
So as a Man here on earth, Jesus had to rely on the Holy Spirit to operate as we see in His statement in John 12:49-50, “This is because I have never spoken on My own authority or of My own accord or as self-appointed, but the Father Who sent Me has Himself given Me orders [concerning] what to say and what to tell. [Deut. 18:18, 19.]
50 And I know that His commandment is (means) eternal life. So whatever I speak, I am saying [exactly] what My Father has told Me to say and in accordance with His instructions.”
This is where some Christians miss it because they believe Jesus had divine nature here on earth. But we see that as a Man He took instructions from God to say or do whatever He did, which was why He performed spectacular miracles.
Fortunately, Jesus says ANYONE who believes in Him, accepts Him, relies on Him to become a Christian can also perform the works He did or even greater works – John 14:12.
How would this happen? It is also by building oneself spiritually in relationship with God Who would then guide and tell him what to do in any situation.
You cannot do the same works or greater works than Jesus Christ if you do not take instructions from Him through the Holy Spirit. You do this by study and meditation of God’s Word.
Dear friend, let it be known to you today that Christianity is God’s ONLY acceptable Way of reaching Him because He, God, has given us the Lord Jesus Christ to redeem us and for us to obey and follow Jesus to get the best of this life.
Obey God through His Word. Whatever He says in His Word, do that and you can be sure that your life is right and you are in right standing with Him and this is eternal life.
May the good Lord bless you as you heed His Word today, act on it and share with others in Jesus’ Most Powerful Name, Amen.
Gabriel Ama.
