J E S U S is a Quickening S P I R I T.
Recently a televangelist was requesting his
followers to help with the $54 million dollars for the purchase of a new
private jet. To justify this request it was stated that "If Jesus Christ
was physically on this earth today, he wouldn't be riding a donkey,"
Would Jesus be riding in a private jet as is
being implied? Let us examine this.
Jesus did indeed ride “a colt the foal of an
ass…” (Matthew 21:5) before his crucifixion. “And the multitudes that went
before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed
is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest. And when he
was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this? And the
multitude said, ‘This is Jesus the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee’” (Matthew
21:9-11).
Now, after his crucifixion, death and
resurrection, Jesus entered into his glory (Luke 24:1-27).
“And
so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was
made a [QUICKENING SPIRIT]. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but
that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is
of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven” (1 Corinthians
15:45-47).
Therefore, if Jesus was here on earth today,
to imply that he would be riding in a private jet and “…he wouldn't be riding a
donkey," shows lack of wisdom and understanding of the Holy Scriptures.
Jesus, “the Lord of Glory” (1 Corinthians
2:8): a QUICKENING SPIRIT wouldn’t need a private jet to travel any where in this
heaven and earth: he would just go anywhere in an instant (Luke 24:37–39) (John
20:19).
Prior to his crucifixion and death Jesus explained
to his disciples when he foretold of his coming and glory saying: “For as the
lightning, that lighteneth out of the one part under heaven, shineth unto the
other part under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. But first
must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation” (Luke 17:24-25).
“For
as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so
shall also the coming of the Son of man be” (Matthew 24:27).
