Realize Christ’s divinity and follow Him
God came into the earth and gave His children the Passover of the new covenant so that He might redeem His children from the devil. Nevertheless, today’s churches blasphemously say, “The Passover is a heresy.” Finally, they say such words to Jesus, who destroyed death through the truth of the Passover. Not only in the time of the Early Church but also in the last days, the religious leaders say that every teaching given by Jesus is a heresy.The Passover of the new covenant is the gospel which Jesus Him-self preached and Apostles Paul and Peter passed on. If they call it heresy, they are like the high priest Ananias and the lawyer Tertullas who brought charges of heresy against Paul.If Jesus comes again in the flesh, what will the world say about Him? People will reject Him again, calling Him a heretic. It’s because they do not know God. They claim to acknowledge the Trinity, but actually they do not know why the names of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit are to exist. Since they blaspheme God out of ignorance, Jesus said, “They hated me without reason (Jn 15:25).” The Bible definitely prophesies that Christ will come into the earth a second time.
Heb 9:27-28 『 … so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.』
Since it is prophesied that Jesus will come again, we must prepare ourselves to receive Him. We must not repeat the same mistake that they made when He came the first time. At that time they blasphemed God, saying, “Nazareth! Can anything good come from there? How did this man get such learning without having studied?” They seemed to think that God had to come from a distinguished family and have much scholarship. They did not listen to Him however many words He spoke to them. On the contrary, the disciples followed Him after hearing just one word, “I will make you fishers of men.” What kind of people should we be? In these days, we hear the prophecy, “He will appear a second time.” We are to prepare the lamps with oil in order to receive the Second Coming Christ. Belittling the gospel, calling it heresy, ironically the world uses the names of Jesus, Paul and Peter. Claiming to believe in Jesus, they call His teachings heresy. How then do they account for Jesus after all? Now, we need to think about why people rejected Christ at His first coming. Without knowing the situation of those days, we can not understand why people reject the Second Coming Christ in this age, nor can we receive Him. 2
Co 5:16
『So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.』
Most people regarded Christ only from a worldly point of view, but the apostles recognized His divinity and received Him because they did not look on His outward appearance but recognized His true character. Then how can we see Christ’s divinity like the apostles?We can observe tiny organisms or distant objects through a telescope or a microscope. Likewise, we can see Christ’s divinity only through ‘the eye of prophecy’―the Bible. Only through the Bible, written by those who were moved by the Holy Spirit, we can recognize the divinity of Christ, God in the flesh.Though everything concerning Christ was recorded in the Bible, the chief priests, Pharisees and the teachers of the law did not fully believe the Bible and failed to recognize Him. However, the disciples received Christ even though they were not learned. Like the prophecy, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God,” the gospel of Christ was delivered to those who were pure in heart and they accepted His teaching as the word of God.
Col 1:13-18
『 … brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created … all things were created by him and for him. … 』
Apostle Paul boldly testified that the One, whom the world rejected, was God the Creator. The reason God hid His divinity was because men always feared Him and ran away from Him. To save them He veiled His Godhead in flesh. However, men scorned and despised God when He came in the flesh and they accused Him of heresy for His teachings. Likewise, today’s worldly churches regard the Passover of the new covenant as heresy. It’s no wonder. In the time of the Early Church, Apostle Paul was accused of preaching the new covenant. He is now exalted to a higher status, being called Saint Paul. In those days, however, he was called a ‘ringleader of the Nazarene sect.’In these last days, too, Christ so loves mankind that He has come in the flesh and brought the good news of salvation. Most people do not receive Him, as did people at His first coming. However, like the forefathers and martyrs of faith, we too should walk on the right path diligently, whatever disadvantages we suffer because of Christ. We can be greatly blessed and loved by God when we follow His teachings recorded in the Bible. Jesus said, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first (Jn 15:18).” Since we are loved by Christ, we are supposed to be hated by the world. Keeping in mind that God will give great blessing to us who suffer for following the path of Christ, we should rightly recognize the Christ, who has come in these last days, and believe in Him and boldly testify to Him. Let us build our faith on Christ the solid rock and follow the paths of Christ, and we will all enter the eternal kingdom of heaven together.
Its sad how people judge Christ according to their own standards and ideas...I used to think that way aslo. But Christ didnt come according to the way we expect but according to the prophecies in the Bible. I thank Christ AhnsahngHong and Heavenly Mother so much for opening my eyes to see who the true Christ is.
