  • BEHIND JESUS

    TEXT: Acts 18:28

    SUPPORTING TEXTS: John 1:1–14; John 4:8, 24; Philippians 3:3

    OBJECTIVES

    At the end of this teaching, participants should be able to:

    1. Understand that God is Spirit and that He has revealed Himself to humanity through Jesus Christ.

    2. Recognize the humanity and divinity of Jesus Christ, and understand why God manifested Himself in the flesh.

    3. Explain why Jesus is the only way to salvation and why human religion, morality, or religious tradition cannot save man.

    4. Defend the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and God manifested in the flesh, using Scripture.

    INTRODUCTION

    Acts 18:28 (KJV):

    “For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.”

    The subject of Jesus Christ goes beyond what can be seen physically. To understand Jesus, we must look behind Jesus—behind His humanity, His earthly appearance, His birth, His ministry, His death and resurrection—to discover who He truly is.

    The Bible teaches that God is Spirit:

    John 4:24 (KJV):

    “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

    God is also love:

    1 John 4:8:

    “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”

    Love cannot be seen with the physical eyes, and the Spirit cannot be seen with the physical eyes. Yet both are real.

    QUESTION

    Have you ever physically seen love? Have you ever physically seen a spirit?

    Although you cannot see love itself, you can see the manifestation of love through actions. Likewise, God, who is Spirit, made Himself known to humanity through Jesus Christ.

    John 1:14 (KJV):

    “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”

    Jesus is therefore the visible manifestation of the invisible God.

    Colossians 1:15:

    “Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature.”

    1. GOD MANIFESTED HIMSELF THROUGH MAN

    God revealed Himself through the human life of Jesus Christ so that humanity could know, believe, and receive Him.

    John 1:14:

    “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”

    Jesus did not merely come to teach people about God. He came as God manifested in the flesh.

    1 Timothy 3:16:

    “God was manifest in the flesh…”

    Jesus showed mankind what God is like through His character, words, works, compassion, holiness, power and love.

    2. THE BREATH OF MAN IS LIMITED

    Man's physical life is temporary. The breath of man is dependent upon God.

    Isaiah 2:22:

    “Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?”

    James 4:14:

    “For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.”

    Man's life is limited, but God's life is eternal.

    3. THE LIFE OF GOD IS ETERNAL

    God does not depend upon another source for His existence. He is the eternal God.

    John 1:4:

    “In him was life; and the life was the light of men.”

    John 11:25:

    “Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life…”

    1 John 5:11:

    “And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.”

    The eternal life of God is revealed to humanity through Jesus Christ.

    4. THE CHARACTER OF MAN IS CORRUPTED BY SIN

    Humanity, because of sin, cannot become its own saviour.

    Jeremiah 17:9:

    “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked…”

    Romans 3:23:

    “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”

    Man therefore needs salvation from outside himself.

    5. THE CHARACTER OF GOD IS GOOD

    God is holy, righteous, loving and good.

    Psalm 100:5:

    “For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.”

    Psalm 145:9:

    “The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.”

    Jesus demonstrated the goodness and character of God among humanity.

    Acts 10:38:

    “…who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”

    6. MAN CANNOT SAVE HIMSELF — JESUS SAVES

    Religion cannot save man. Human wisdom cannot save man. Good works, by themselves, cannot save man.

    Ephesians 2:8–9:

    “For by grace are ye saved through faith… Not of works…”

    Salvation is found in Jesus Christ.

    Acts 4:12:

    “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”

    The God whom humanity could not physically see came near to humanity in Jesus Christ—and Jesus saves.

    THE REASON GOD MANIFESTED HIMSELF IN THE FLESH

    1. SO THAT WE COULD SEE HIM

    God became visible through Jesus Christ.

    John 14:9:

    “He that hath seen me hath seen the Father…”

    Jesus is the revelation of the invisible God.

    Colossians 2:9:

    “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

    2. SO THAT WE COULD TOUCH HIM AND KNOW HIM

    John testified that Jesus was physically real.

    1 John 1:1:

    “That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes… and our hands have handled…”

    The apostles did not proclaim an imaginary person. They witnessed, heard and physically encountered Jesus Christ.

    3. SO THAT WE COULD FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM

    Jesus did not merely appear to humanity from a distance. He lived among people.

    1 John 1:3:

    “…that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us…”»l

    Jesus also fellowshiped with His disciples.

    Matthew 26:30:

    “And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.”

    He ate with them, walked with them, taught them and fellowshipped with them.

    4. TO REVEAL THE POWER OF GOD THROUGH THE FLESH

    Jesus demonstrated God's power through miracles, healing, deliverance and authority.

    John 2:11:

    “This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory…”

    Acts 2:22:

    “Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs…”

    His works revealed what was behind the humanity—the divine nature and power of God.

    5. TO EXPERIENCE HUMANITY AND IDENTIFY WITH US

    Jesus experienced hunger, thirst, weariness, sorrow, rejection and temptation, yet without sin.

    Hebrews 4:15:

    “For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities…”

    Hebrews 2:17:

    “Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto his brethren…”

    He understands what humanity experiences.

    6. TO SHED HIS BLOOD FOR OUR SALVATION

    The ultimate reason for His manifestation was redemption.

    Matthew 26:28:

    “For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.”

    1 Peter 1:18–19:

    “…ye were not redeemed with corruptible things… But with the precious blood of Christ…”

    Jesus came to die for the sins of humanity and rise again.

    1 Corinthians 15:3–4:

    “Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day…”

    YOU CANNOT GET GOD CHEAPLY

    Gold does not usually lie openly on the surface. It must be sought, discovered and refined.

    In the same way, we must look beyond the outward appearance of Jesus to understand who He truly is.

    Jeremiah 29:13:

    “And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”

    Behind the soil, there may be gold.

    Behind the humanity of Jesus, there is the revelation of God.

    Jesus appeared as a man, but He was more than merely a man.

    John 10:30:

    “I and my Father are one.”

    John 20:28:

    “And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.”

    The Messiah was hidden behind the humanity of Jesus until He was revealed to those who believed.

    ANY SPIRIT THAT DENIES JESUS CAME IN THE FLESH

    The Bible gives a serious warning concerning any teaching that denies the incarnation.

    1 John 4:2–3:

    “Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God…”

    Jesus truly came in the flesh.

    He was not merely a spiritual appearance. He was genuinely human while being divine.

    WHY ACTS 18:28 IS IMPORTANT

    Acts 18:28:

    “For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.”

    Apollos and the early Christian preachers had to convince the Jews from the Scriptures that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah.

    Many Jews expected the Messiah to establish an earthly political kingdom and deliver them from their enemies. They struggled to understand the manner in which the Messiah would first come.

    Jesus did not come first as an earthly political ruler. He came as the suffering Servant who would deal with the deeper problem of humanity sin.

    Isaiah 53:5:

    “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities…”

    His kingdom is ultimately spiritual and eternal.

    John 18:36:

    “My kingdom is not of this world…”

    Luke 1:32–33:

    “…the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever…”

    Therefore, Jesus did not fit the people's expectation of what the Messiah should look like, but the Scriptures testified concerning Him.

    PRACTICAL EXAMPLE: WHY PEOPLE STILL REJECT JESUS

    Even today, many people reject Jesus because they do not understand what is behind the Gospel.

    Some see religious hypocrisy, fanaticism, scandals, poor leadership or people who claim Christianity but do not demonstrate Christ-like character.

    But the failure of people does not invalidate Jesus.

    We must distinguish between Jesus Christ and the imperfections of people who claim to represent Him.

    Hebrews 12:2:

    “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith…”

    Our faith must ultimately be placed in Christ, not in imperfect human beings.

    Some people look to God for survival, prosperity, longevity or protection but do not truly know Him.

    They may place their hope in religious traditions, human philosophies or personal beliefs while rejecting God's saving grace.

    But the Gospel points us back to Jesus.

    THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO GOD

    Jesus made this clear:

    John 14:6:

    “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

    Peter also declared:

    Acts 4:12:

    “Neither is there salvation in any other…”

    Jesus did not merely claim to know the way. He declared Himself to be the Way.

    His resurrection became one of the greatest proofs of His identity.

    Romans 1:4:

    “And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.”

    The Christian faith is therefore not founded merely on human philosophy but on the person, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

    CONCLUSION: WHO IS BEHIND JESUS?

    Behind the humanity of Jesus is the divine revelation of God.

    Jesus is the Word who became flesh.

    John 1:1–3:

    “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him…”

    And then:

    John 1:14:

    “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us…”

    Jesus is the image of the invisible God.

    Colossians 1:15:

    “Who is the image of the invisible God…”

    The fullness of God dwells in Him.

    Colossians 2:9:

    “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”

    He existed before Abraham.

    John 8:58:

    “Before Abraham was, I am.”

    He is one with the Father.

    John 10:30:

    “I and my Father are one.”

    Thomas called Him God.

    John 20:28:

    “My Lord and my God.”

    And the Father Himself speaks concerning the Son:

    Hebrews 1:8:

    “But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever…”

    Therefore, when we look at Jesus, we must look beyond the physical appearance of the man and understand the divine truth revealed through Him.

    Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh.
    Jesus Christ is the revelation of God.
    Jesus Christ is the Messiah.
    Jesus Christ is the Saviour.
    Jesus Christ is the Way to the Father.
    And in Him is eternal life.

    FINAL CHALLENGE

    Do not stop at what you see on the surface.

    Look behind Jesus.

    Look beyond His humanity and discover His divine identity through the Scriptures.

    John 20:31:

    “But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.”

    The goal is not merely to know about Jesus. The goal is to know Jesus, believe in Him, and receive the salvation and eternal life that are found in Him.

  • The Last Great Revival Before the Return of Christ

    Theme: When God Awakens Nations Before the King Appears
    Scripture Anchor: “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” — Acts 2:17

    Before the trumpet sounds and Christ returns in glory, Scripture declares there will be a mighty outpouring of the Spirit—a revival unlike any before. This revival is not confined to one nation or generation; it is global, sweeping across cultures, ages, and denominations. It is the final awakening, preparing the Bride for the Bridegroom.

    Acts 2:17 establishes the principle: the last days are marked by a Spirit‑outpouring. Joel’s prophecy fulfilled at Pentecost points forward to a greater fulfillment before Christ’s return. Revival is heaven’s strategy to gather souls and purify the Church before the King comes.

    The last great revival represents:
    - Outpouring: God’s Spirit poured on all flesh.
    - Harvest: Multitudes brought into the kingdom.
    - Purification: The Bride made ready.
    - Unity: Believers across nations joined in one Spirit.
    - Testimony: Evidence of God’s power before the end.

    The struggle manifests as:
    - Opposition: Satanic resistance to awakening.
    - Deception: False teachings to distract.
    - Persecution: Pressure against the faithful.
    - Complacency: Hearts asleep in comfort.
    - Testing: Faith refined in fire.

    - Revival is not hype—it is holy transformation.
    - The last revival is not man‑made—it is Spirit‑driven.
    - Opposition is not victory—it is proof of God’s movement.

    From heaven’s view, the last great revival is the Bride’s final preparation. God pours His Spirit to awaken, purify, and empower His people. Heaven rejoices as nations turn, because it signals the nearness of Christ’s appearing.

    What the Last Revival Produces
    - Repentance: Hearts broken before God.
    - Holiness: Lives set apart.
    - Power: Signs, wonders, and miracles.
    - Unity: Barriers broken among believers.
    - Harvest: Souls gathered for eternity.

    Signs the Last Revival Is Stirring
    1. Global hunger: Nations crying out for truth.
    2. Youth rising: Sons and daughters prophesying.
    3. Supernatural manifestations: Visions, dreams, and miracles.
    4. Persecution increasing: Resistance against the faithful.
    5. Bride awakening: Church purified for the Bridegroom.

    Assignment for Believers
    - Prepare your heart: Repent and consecrate yourself.
    - Seek His Spirit: Cry out for fresh outpouring.
    - Reject complacency: Do not sleep in comfort.
    - Stand boldly: Endure opposition with faith.
    - Magnify Christ: Exalt Him as the Coming King.

    Beloved, the last great revival before the return of Christ is not a distant dream—it is heaven’s promise. Do not let distraction or fear rob you of participation. His Spirit is your fire, His word is your anchor, and His coming is your hope. Awaken, for the final revival is rising, and the King is at the door.

  • “For the time has come for judgment to begin with God’s household, and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?” — 1 Peter 4:17 (CSB)

    Peter reminds believers that God takes holiness seriously, beginning with those who claim His name. His discipline and refining work within the church call us to examine our own lives, repent where necessary, and faithfully follow Christ. Peter then points to an even more sobering reality: if God holds His own people accountable, we should recognize the seriousness of rejecting the gospel. This verse calls us not to fear our salvation, but to live faithfully and take both God’s holiness and His grace seriously.

  • In the next few days, i will be extracting the excerpts from my books and i believe it will bless someone. from my book, LUST ON THE WHEEL.

    Lust is desire without discipline

    “Lust is desire without discipline, passion without purpose, hunger without holiness.”

    Explanation:
    This captures the central message of the book in a single sentence. Desire itself is not always wrong, but when desire operates outside God's will and without self-control, it becomes destructive. True Christian living requires that our desires be brought under the authority of God.

  • TODAY'S WORD
    Text: Isaiah 40:31
    “But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”

    MESSAGE: RENEWED FOR THE RACE
    The last days are tiring. Many are weary. But God has not called you to run dry.

    1. STRENGTHENING:
    Waiting on God is not wasting time. It’s refueling. When you pray, worship, and sit in His Word, He puts new strength in you. Like an eagle, you’ll rise above the storms.

    2. ENCOURAGING:
    You will NOT faint. You will NOT quit. The same God who sustained you at St. Joseph P.3-P.7 will sustain you at Parents Joy P.1-P.4. He does not grow tired Isaiah 40:28.

    3. SANCTIFICATION:
    To "wait on the Lord" means to set yourself apart from distractions and fix your eyes on Him Hebrews 12:1-2. Sanctification is choosing His presence over panic, His peace over pressure.

    PRAYER:
    Father, I wait on You today. Renew my strength. Lift me on eagles’ wings. Help me to run this race and not grow weary, and to walk in holiness until Jesus comes. In Jesus’ name, Amen.


    1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Encourage one another and build each other up.”

  • THE GOSPEL FROM CALVARY

    Monday, 17th August, 2026

    CONTEND FOR THE FAITH!

    TEXT: JUDE 1:1–25

    KEY VERSE:

    «“Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.” — Jude 1:3 (KJV)»

    The Christian faith is precious, powerful, and worth defending. In his short but powerful letter, Jude warned believers about false teachers and ungodly influences that had entered among God's people.

    Jude's message is simple but urgent:

    DO NOT GIVE UP THE FAITH!

    We live in a world where truth is often questioned, biblical values are increasingly challenged, and many voices compete for our attention.

    But the believer is called to remain rooted in God's Word and to earnestly contend for the faith.

    THREE LESSONS FROM JUDE

    CONTEND FOR THE FAITH.

    Jude 1:3 says:

    «“...earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.”»

    To contend for the faith does not mean fighting people. It means standing firmly for the truth of God's Word.

    Don't abandon biblical truth because it is unpopular.

    Don't compromise your convictions because of pressure.

    Don't change God's standards simply because society has changed.

    Stand for Christ. Stand for truth. Stand for the Gospel.

    BEWARE OF UNGODLY INFLUENCES.

    Jude warned that certain ungodly people had secretly entered among the believers.

    Their presence was dangerous because they could influence others away from the truth.

    This teaches us that not every teaching, philosophy, lifestyle, or spiritual message should be accepted without examination.

    Test what you hear against Scripture.
    🏽 Ask God for discernment.
    Watch the influences around you.
    Protect your relationship with Christ.

    Be careful what you allow to shape your thinking.

    BUILD YOURSELF UP SPIRITUALLY.

    Jude 1:20–21 gives believers a powerful instruction:

    «“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost, Keep yourselves in the love of God...”»

    Notice the progression:

    Build yourself on the faith.
    🏽 Pray in the Holy Ghost.
    Keep yourself in God's love.
    Look for the mercy of Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

    A strong Christian life does not happen accidentally.

    You must intentionally develop your relationship with God.

    Pray.

    Study the Word.

    Worship.

    Obey God.

    Stay connected to Christ.

    DON'T COMPROMISE YOUR FAITH

    The pressure to compromise can come from many directions.

    Friends may pressure you.

    Society may pressure you.

    Relationships may pressure you.

    Entertainment may pressure you.

    Even people who claim to know God may pressure you.

    But remember:

    Your faith is more valuable than acceptance from people.

    Never exchange eternal truth for temporary popularity.

    Never exchange holiness for pleasure.

    Never exchange your relationship with Christ for worldly approval.

    HAVE MERCY ON THOSE WHO ARE STRUGGLING

    Jude does not only tell believers to defend the faith; he also teaches us how to respond to people who are struggling.

    Jude 1:22 says:

    «“And of some have compassion, making a difference.”»

    There are people who need correction, but they also need compassion.

    There are people who have wandered, but they can still be restored.

    There are people who are confused, but God can use you to lead them back to truth.

    Therefore, stand firmly for truth while showing the love of Christ.

    KEEP YOURSELF IN THE LOVE OF GOD

    Jude 1:21 says:

    «“Keep yourselves in the love of God...”»

    This does not mean that God's love is weak or that we must earn His love.

    It is a call to remain in fellowship and obedience to Him.

    Don't allow sin to become your lifestyle.

    Don't allow bitterness to occupy your heart.

    Don't allow worldly desires to take the place of Christ.

    Stay close to Jesus.

    GOD IS ABLE TO KEEP YOU

    The letter of Jude ends with one of the most beautiful declarations of God's power:

    «“Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy...” — Jude 1:24»

    What a powerful assurance!

    We are called to contend.

    We are called to watch.

    We are called to pray.

    We are called to remain faithful.

    But ultimately, God is the One who keeps us. 🏽

    When you feel weak, He can strengthen you.

    When you are tempted, He can help you.

    When you are discouraged, He can restore you.

    When you are struggling, He can keep you from falling.

    ✍🏽 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

    A believer who knows the value of the Gospel will stand firmly for the truth, walk faithfully with Christ, and never trade eternal truth for temporary approval.

    🏽 PRAYER

    Heavenly Father,

    Thank You for the precious gift of salvation and for the faith You have entrusted to us.

    Give me grace to earnestly contend for the faith. Help me to recognize false teachings and ungodly influences. Give me spiritual discernment to know what is true and courage to stand for Your Word.

    Build me up in my most holy faith. Teach me to pray consistently and keep me in Your love.

    Help me to show compassion to those who are struggling and to point them back to Jesus.

    Lord, keep me from falling. Preserve my faith, strengthen my walk, and help me remain faithful until the end.

    To You be glory, majesty, dominion, and power, both now and forever. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen. 🏽

    To those who are contending with the power of habit, God says: “Would you walk by and by the streets of the holy city? Then obey the command, Come out from among them, and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing. I, the infinite God, the Creator of the universe, will receive you.
    I will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be My sons and daughters.” “Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” Connect with Heaven. Thus you may become children of the heavenly King.
    Do you want higher honor, greater exaltation? Riches God has in abundance for those who overcome; for the streets of the holy city are paved with gold. It is your privilege to enter this city, to partake of the tree of life, to listen to the voice that is sweeter and richer than any music that ever fell on mortal ears. There is strength in the arm of the Lord. Take hold upon it, and you will one day stand victors in the city of God, each wearing on his brow a crown of immortal glory. ST January 30, 1901, par. 9
