Now a days every christian firmly believe in Jesus as the Messiah. However, if you look back into those days when Jesus lived, do you think that it was easy to believed in Him? Think about it: He was born into a poor family, His dad was a carpenter, and He also did carpentry jobs. Jesus had brothers and sisters, and did not received any education. When you look at His physical life it has nothing to do with He being God in the flesh. Then, imagine looking at John the baptist; at that time he was considered to be a crazy man who was always dressed in camel clothes, ate locust and honey, and spend his days screaming in the dessert and baptizing people. Picture the moment Jesus came to crazy John, got baptized by him, and then John said to his disciples to follow Jesus. It might have being an out of mind scene.If you would have been there, would you have believe in Him?
I don't think so, now you believe because 2000 years has passed, but at that moment I am pretty sure that you would not have believed.
Then how can we believe what seems out of mind?
If you look at the physical point of view, you would have seen Jesus throughout the eyes of those who considered Him only the carpenter, the son of Mary and Joseph, and would have rejected Him. But if you look at Jesus with the spiritual eyes, you would have seen Him through the same eyes of the disciple such as Peter and John. That is why the Bible always says that in order to look and explain the spiritual things, you need spiritual words. On the other hand, the man that has no spirit does not accept the things that comes from the Spirit of God.
1 Corinthians 2:13 "This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, expressing spiritual truths in spiritual words. The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned."
How can we understand about Christ?
2 Corinthians 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."
Don't regard Jesus Christ in a worldly point of view. Otherwise, you will not be able to understand. That's why people now a days don't understand the Church of God World Mission Society. The reason is because they look at us physically basing their thoughts in the standards of this world. However, Jesus is in very nature God the creator of the heavens and the earth.
Philippians 2:5 "Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross!
Jesus is in very nature God. So, many people might think that Jesus must have look very majestic. However, according to the Bible Jesus looks like a root out of the dry ground (Isaiah 55:1), that's why when Apostle Paul described Jesus as the very nature of God, he didn't look at Jesus physically but spiritually. Do you think it is easy to come to a man that has nothing to attract us to Him, but call Himself to be God? -No-
John 6:38-42 "For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day." At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven." They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?"
Jesus always said: "I have come down from heaven." But the Jewish saw Him as the son of Mary and Joseph. They saw Him only through a worldly point of view. If you see Jesus spiritually you know that He truly came from Heaven, even though that physically He is a carpenter.
John 7:14 "Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. The Jews were amazed and asked, "How did this man get such learning without having studied?"
In the Jewish point of view they always ask how did Jesus got this learning without studying. There were only concern about what He did physically.
Do you think that they were able to accept Him this way? -NO-
Why is so important for us to see the Bible with our spiritual eyes?
Because the Bible also gives us the prophecies about Second Coming Christ. Who in the same way is the very nature of God, who is to come in the body of a man. According to the Bible Christ must come a second time in secret to a remote place in the east when Israel gain its Independence. If we look at second coming Christ with the physical point of view we are not going to be able to recognize Him. Then, we will find ourselves making the same mistakes that Jewish people made 2000 yrs ago.
According to the Bible Christ Ahnsahnghong is the man Christ who came from a far off land in the East with the rebirth of Israel. Christ Ahnsahnghong even though might look like a simple man is the very nature of God whose purpose is to bring salvation to all those souls that are walking in darkness. Christ Ahnsahnghong is the God that the Bible testifies about.
Then how can we truly recognize that Christ Ahnsahnghong is our Almighty God, our Savior?

It is so true, it is not easy to believe in a man that calls Himself God. But if the Bible testify that Christ Ahnsahnghong is truly our God who am I to denied.
