Jesus Is The Messiah

By

The Twelve Apostles

The Twelve Apostles Did Not Murmur

Many of his disciples, when they heard it, said, “This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?” But Jesus, knowing in Himself that His disciples marvelled at it, said to them, “Does this surprise you?” John 6:60,61

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, what did themselves say here?

The bible authors wrote that ourselves, The Twelve Apostles, murmured. Son of man, it is not true.

The Head: Thanks be to God.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, sometimes, the bible authors did said that ourselves, The Twelve Apostles, murmured. Son of man, it was not true.

Son of man, it was true that Jesus was saying things, statements, that have deep meanings. It surprised us sometimes that we could not even open our mouth to speak.

What has made a person not to speak, can the person still talk?

The Head: No, my Lord.

Apostle Matthew: If somebody surprises you, will you be able to speak?

The Head: No, my Lord.

Apostle Matthew: You will be there looking and silent.

The Head: Yes, my Lord.

Apostle Matthew: Then, how come that they wrote that we spoke, we murmured?

Ourselves, The Twelve Apostles, did not speak. Ourselves were standing still there, looking at Jesus. We were thinking of what Jesus said. There was never a time we spoke out words. But, Jesus knew what was inside our hearts. We did not murmur – and we did not complain.

Difference Between Thought And Spoken Word

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, the word spoken inside the heart, and the word spoken by the mouth, are they the same?

The Head: No.

Apostle Matthew: But, a word said inside the heart and the word spoken by the mouth, are the two words the same?

The Head: They are the same, but they are not the same. The two are one because it is what a person has thought in his heart that is what a person has said.

Apostle Matthew: Yes.

The Head: The reasons why the two are not the same is because what a person has thought in his heart is still something under planning, consideration. He may or may not carry it out. But, a word already spoken is something already prepared for and carried out.

Apostle Matthew: Yourself answered very well. That was what ourselves did, we thought of what Jesus said. But the bible authors said that ourselves murmured – we did not murmur.

If somebody closes his mouth, and is thinking about something, does it mean that the person has spoken?

The Head: No.

Apostle Matthew: But Jesus knew what our thoughts were. If the bible authors had said that Jesus knew what was inside our hearts, that is a separate and different thing. But the bible authors said that ourselves were there murmuring. That was not true. They wrote what was not true, and also wrote what was true. Jesus knew that we were speaking, thinking, in our hearts. But ourselves did not speak out. There is difference between speaking and murmuring.

The Head: Thanks be to God, who makes us to know the facts.

The Holy One

Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life; and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” John 6:68,69

Apostle Matthew: Why did Peter answer Jesus by saying this?

The Head: It was the Holy Spirit that made Peter to say so. In addition, Peter had followed Jesus and had understood various mysteries already, and Peter knew that Jesus is the true Messiah.

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, your answers are correct. But Peter’s understanding was still very low then. The reason why Peter said so was because he was full of joy, joyfulness and gladness of heart. Joy. That was one.

Two, Peter had faith that the way he was following, Jesus and His teachings, was true.

Three, out of all the ministers of God, the Pharisees and scribes, it was only Jesus that was special and different from the others. Himself was exceptionally different.

Son of man, do you hear this?

The Head: Yes.

Apostle Matthew: Himself was different.

…

The Truth Shall Make You Free

Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:31,32

Explanations:

1. Only the Truth, not religion or churches, can set you free.

2. And no one ever finds the Truth by shying away from it.

3. Even in this end time, with all its disasters and calamities, when people should be running to God for safety and wellbeing, many are not wise enough to follow the path of true worship, the Sabbath, which Jesus regularly and habitually attended.

4. And despite so many visits to heaven and hell, as well as the accompanying messages and warnings, people refuse to turn to God. They are busy giving God all kinds of reasons and excuses, which are irrelevant excuses.

5. At the same time, they love and follow the false prophets, fake pastors and deceptive ministers, by joining the various churches, ministries and fellowships, without inquiring from God. All these churches, ministries and fellowships are misleading multitudes into the hell fire, because they do not keep original Ten Commandments of God and they do not observe the Seven Annual Festivals of God. They refuse to abide by the rites of holiness as commanded by God Almighty.

6. Also, they obey those who direct them to disobey every commandment of God.

7. And they encourage one another in all forms of worldliness, wearing so many types of dresses into the temple and holy places, despite warnings from God that people must not wear such worldly dresses into His presence. As Jesus did prayed, “Let thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” people should dress like the Angels in heaven, in pure and plain white garments.

Why Many Ministers Turn Away

After this many of his disciples drew back and no longer went about with him. John 6:66

1. Today in the world, so many ministers of God are busy doing the wrong set of things, because they are afraid of losing the teeming multitudes that follow them. They do not want to lose their members by teaching the truth, because of the tithes and offerings which their congregations bring to the religious leaders and ministers. They do not want to obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit, because they want to receive public honours and respect.

2. The ministers of God, even those who came to DivineBase Ministry to confirm that Jesus has reincarnated as the man who saw God, turned away from the ministry, because of the above reasons.

3. Of what use is leading ignorant multitudes who are busy everyday breaking the laws, statutes, precepts and holiness of God.

The Need To Follow The Master

Apostle Matthew: Son of man, it is worthwhile at this time that the FirstSon of God, Jesus Christ, is in the world, in the midst of humanity, as the man who saw God face to face, that various young men shall be following Him about, to listen to Him and to obey Him.

The Head: That is true.

Apostle Matthew: But in this present age, corrections shall be started, because the young men are doing the wrong things – they are misguided and deceived.

Number 1 is money. God is not their need, not their interest or concern.

Number 2, nobody is ready to do the will of God.

Number 3, nobody has time for the Gospel of Truth and Salvation. Lies and fabrications abound so much in the young men, youths. And it is hard for them … to face God and do His will. If they do not start on time, now, as Nicodemus did and repented and found the truth … they shall all be lost to hell fire.

The Demand For A Sign

The Pharisees came and began to argue with Him, seeking from Him a sign from heaven, to test Him. And He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said,

“Why does this generation seek a sign?

Truly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation.”

And He left them, and getting into the boat again He departed to the other side. Mark 8:11-13

Explanations

1. The things of the spirit is not what you can see with the ordinary human eyes.

2. And human logic and reasoning do not, and cannot, explain the spiritual realities of life.

3. These are the facts which majority of humanity have not come to understand.

4. People should make efforts to open their spiritual eyes, for them to see clearly the realities of life, and be able to handle the issues they encounter.

5. It is the duty of the various churches, ministries and fellowships to help people open their spiritual eyes. But the religious leaders and ministers of God are doing this very important duty. Instead, they are telling people that they have no spiritual eyes and that it is not necessary to open the spiritual eyes. Even, many teach their congregations that it is evil to have and use the spiritual eyes.

6. That is why the many years of efforts of the Christians have not made things easier, better and safer for them, because they are like a lost child in an unknown environments, whose efforts to find his ways leads him into more confusions, disappointments and helplessness.

7. And you cannot get answers to spiritual questions or have spiritual explanations by challenge, by confrontation or by argument.

8. The children of God must cultivate the habit of observing quiet time and meditation, for them to start making use of their spiritual eyes and powers. That is the only time that they shall be able to see and recognize the heavenly beings in the midst of humanity.

9. And they must begin to pray for and accept the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

10. They should make it a habit to inquire form God, concerning all things.

11. Otherwise, they shall remain like strangers in a foreign land, because they cannot see and recognize the spiritual dimensions of life.

12. Physically, a small thing appears to be small, and remains small. But, spiritually, what is small may be the greatest. This is one of the secrets of life, which are called mysteries.

13. The Pharisees, Sadducees and Scribes could not recognize and believe Jesus Christ, because they were looking at the physical body of Jesus, considering Him an ordinary man and even their juniors by age. But, in spirit, it was God Almighty that was present in their midst, in the person of Jesus Christ.

Peter’s Declaration About Jesus

And Jesus went on with His disciples, to the villages of Caesare′a Philippi; and on the way He asked his disciples, “Who do men say that I am?” And they told Him, “John the Baptist; and others say, Eli′jah; and others one of the prophets.”

And He asked them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter answered Him, “You are the Christ.” Mark 8:27-30

You Must Answer For Yourself

When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"

So they said, “Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."

He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"

Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God."

Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:13-19

Certain knowledge is hidden from the general public, only if and when people are not ready and willing to accept and value such knowledge.

Unfortunately, both religious and civil leaders have hidden so many important, juicy and powerful books about God and life from the general public.

And the teeming populations that follow them do not know these facts.

Beware Of Lies And Fabrications

And He charged them to tell no one about him. Mark 8:30

Jesus never told His apostles and disciples not to announce His teachings, miracles and mysteries, because He came to make all things public and clear. It is by so doing that humanity shall free themselves from spiritual blindness, ignorance and laziness. It is by testimonies that people get to know the glorious and mighty works of God. And by the same testimonies, people’s faith grow and remain steadfast.
