Die Worte Jesu brachten nicht immer Frieden, Freude, und Einheit unter den Menschen, verursachte aber oft Geräusche, Streben und Verfolgung. Dies geschah auch im Tempel in Kapernaum, where Jesus taught and testified about being the Bread of life and that everyone, who would eat His flesh and drink His blood would have eternal life. Instead of believing His words and delighting in His words, His disciples began to murmur and strive among themselves. His disciples couldn’t listen to His words anymore and considered it a hard saying. And because His words offended them, they walked away and left Him. That was not surprising, since they were carnal and Jesus said, that it is the Spirit that quickens, Das Fleisch nützt nichts, and that the words, Jesus spoke were Spirit and life (John 6:26-63). But what did Jesus mean by My words are Spirit and life?
The disciples of Jesus considered His saying hard and couldn’t hear it
These things said He in the synagogue, as He taught in Capernaum. Many therefore of His disciples, when they had heard this, sagte, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in Himself that His disciples murmured at it, Er sprach zu ihnen, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where He was before? Es ist der Geist, der lebendig macht; das Fleisch nützt nichts: die Worte, die ich zu dir spreche, sie sind Geist, und sie sind Leben (John 6:59-63)
The words of Jesus were not always pleasant for the old man, who is carnal and belongs to the generation of fallen mankind, but they were confrontational, hard, and difficult to listen to, let alone to bear. His words were not always understandable and often gave offense.
But although it was difficult for the old man to hear the words of Jesus and gave offense and often caused a stir, the words of Jesus were the truth and revealed the secrets of the Kingdom of God.
They followed Jesus for the sign and wonders but His words, which derived from the Father and revealed the Kingdom of God and Jesus the Christ, der Sohn Gottes, they couldn’t bear and ensured that they left Jesus and no longer followed Him.
Since Jesus was sent and appointed by His Father and stood in His service and not in the service of man, Jesus didn’t adjust His words to please His disciples and to win them back.
Jesus even asked His twelve disciples, who were the only ones who were left, if they also wanted to leave.
But Simon Peter answered Jesus, Herr, to Whom shall we go? Thou has the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that Thou art that Christ, der Sohn des lebendigen Gottes (John 6:68-69).
Jesus spoke the words of His Father
Mein Sohn, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh (Sprichwörter 4:20-21)
Mein Sohn, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee. Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye (Sprichwörter 7:1-2)
The Lord God hath given Me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: He wakeneth morning boy morning, He wakeneth Mine ear to hear as the learned. The Lord God hath opened Mine ear, and I was not rebellious, neither turned away back (Jesaja 50:4-5)
The words Jesus spoke were the words of His Father. Jesus never spoke from Himself, but He only spoke the words of His Father.
The words of Jesus, which came from the Father, were not always believed and appreciated by the people, but we already read this in the Old Testament.
The words of God, which were spoken through the mouths of the prophets, were not always believed and appreciated by His people, but were rejected.
Many prophets, who were chosen and sent by God and spoke the words of God were persecuted, imprisoned and many times even killed. All because, they spoke the truth of God, which the old man (fallen man) could not bear.
This evil people, which refuse to hear My words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, so have I caused to cleave unto Me the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, spricht der Herr; that they might be unto Me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory: but they would not hear (Jeremia 13:10-11)
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in My counsel, and had caused My people to hear My words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings (Jeremia 23:21-22)
Although God loved His people and wanted the best for His people and His words taught, supported, led, warned, corrected, diszipliniert, chastised them and provided peace, and made them walk on His way, so that the people were blessed, the people didn’t consider the words of God as good, but as evil, and diametrically opposed the will of the people and therefore they rejected the words God and didn’t return from their evil way and their evil doings, and because of that they brought mischief upon themselves and ended up in horrible circumstances, despite all the warnings of God and His Word (Lesen Sie auch: The mischief, people bring upon themselves)
But every time, God’s people called unto God and humbled themselves and repented of her way, God heard the cry of His people and sent His Word, through the mouths of the prophets, and saved and healed His people (Lesen Sie auch: Was bedeutet das: Gott hat sein Wort gesandt und sie geheilt??).
The words of God diametrically oppose the words of man
Die Menschen, who belong to the generation of fallen man (Der alte Mann) and have the devil as their father, are carnal and to them, the words of God diametrically oppose their will and the lusts and desires of their flesh.
The words of God are Spirit and not flesh, therefore the words of God are considered foolish and illogical to them, and therefore they refuse to believe the words of God and submit to God and obey and do the words of God in their lives (Oh. Sprichwörter 28:5, John 8:43-44, 1 Korinther 1:18-25; 2:14).
The old man is carnal and can’t understand the things of God and His Kingdom, because they are spiritual.
Note, spiritual doesn’t mean moving in the supernatural, in the spirit realm. Denn wie bereits erwähnt, there are a lot of people, who walk in the spiritual realm, like fortunetellers, Hexen, satanists, Schamanen, winti priests and practitioners, voodoo priests, and practitioners, usw., and experience supernatural manifestations, and receive supernatural revelations and insights and predict the future, heal and do other signs and wonders, but are not born again but carnal and enter the spirit realm from their flesh and move in the occult.
They are natural people, who use objects, formulas, (Meditation) Technik, Methoden, and rituals to enter from their flesh a state of ecstasy and open themselves to demonic powers (böse Geister) who give them insights, Visionen, und Macht (energy) to do what they ask for.
Jedoch, the devil never gives something for free, but always demands something in return. Therefore they will be afflicted and tortured by these demonic powers, who make their lives a living hell (Lesen Sie auch: Do you have to be born again to walk in the supernatural?)
Spiritual means, that the spirit of man is raised from the dead by the power of the Holy Spirit and man no longer lives in bondage under the authority of death in darkness (and bears the fruit of death, die Sünde ist), but that the same Spirit of God, who was in Jesus Christ, dwells in the new man, and the new man walks in obedience to the words of God, which are Spirit and life.
Mann, who was dead before God has been made alive by the Spirit and lives for God and shall walk after the Spirit, which means to walk in obedience to the Word.
Alle, who is born of water and Spirit shall obey the words of Jesus, which are Spirit and life
Jesus antwortete und sprach zu ihm, Wahrlich, wahrlich, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God (John 3:3)
Jesus antwortete, Wahrlich, wahrlich, I say unto thee, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit (John 3:5-6)
By becoming born again in Christ; the death of the flesh and the resurrection from the spirit from the death and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, man has become a new creation, who is spiritual and does not only see the Kingdom of God, but has also entered the Kingdom of God.
It is the Spirit that quickens, Das Fleisch nützt nichts. The words, Jesus spoke, and still speaks, are Spirit and life.
Denn diese, who have become a new creation, are spiritual, they shall feed themselves daily with the words of God, which are Spirit and life. The Word is their daily Bread.
Every word of God contains the Spirit and the life of God and feeds the spiritual man, and by submission and obedience to the words of God, the spiritual man shall grow up to spiritual maturity.
Diese, who belong to Christ and are born of water and Spirit shall listen to the words of Jesus and obey and do them in their lives.
They know the will of God and discern the spirits and have knowledge of good and evil. The unseen realm will no longer be hidden and foolish to them, but is revealed to them and has become a reality. They will see exactly what kinds of lies and powers they are dealing with and what kind of spirits control the people and keep them in bondage.
The carnal man, der zur Welt gehört, is blinded in his mind by the darkness and death, but the sons of God (both males and females) see because of the Truth, Licht, and Life.
The words you believe and follow determine the path you walk on
Jesus weinte und sagte, Er, der an mich glaubt, glaubt nicht an mich, sondern auf den, der mich gesandt hat. Und wer mich sieht, sieht den, der mich gesandt hat. Ich bin ein Licht in die Welt gekommen, that whosoever believeth on Me should not abide in darkness. Und wenn jemand meine Worte hört, und glaube nicht, Ich verurteile ihn nicht: denn ich bin nicht gekommen, um die Welt zu richten, sondern um die Welt zu retten. He that rejecteth Me, and receiveth not My words, hath one that judgeth him: das Wort, das ich gesprochen habe, Derselbe wird ihn am letzten Tag richten. For I have not spoken of myself; sondern der Vater, der mich gesandt hat, He gave me a commandment, was ich sagen soll, und was ich sagen soll. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: was auch immer ich also spreche, so wie der Vater es mir gesagt hat, also spreche ich (John 12:44-50)
The path you walk on, depends on the words you listen to, believe, obey and do in your life
The words of the world, which are carnal and death and lead to eternal death, diametrically oppose the words of God, which are Spirit and life and lead to eternal life.
The carnal man shall listen to the words of the world; the words of man, which please the flesh, and shall believe and obey these words, whereby the flesh reigns and the person does the works of the flesh and bear the fruit of death, die Sünde ist.
Jedoch, the spiritual man, who is quickened (made alive) by the Spirit, shall listen to the words of God, which pleases the spirit, and shall believe and obey them, whereby the Spirit reigns and the person shall do righteous works and bear the fruit of the Spirit.
The words of God are Spirit and life. And obedience to the words of God means enmity with the world and death to the flesh (von den alten Mann abschrecken Und den neuen Mann anziehen), but the words of God mean peace with God and life to the spirit.
If you obey the words of God, which are Spirit and contain the life of God and give life, you shall walk after the Spirit on the narrow path.
The narrow path is not the easiest path to walk on in life, but it is the only path that leads to eternal life
„Sei das Salz der Erde.“’
