According to *John 3:12-13, Jesus said _”If I told you earthly things [that is, things that happen right here on earth] and you do not believe, how will you believe and trust Me if I tell you heavenly things? No one has gone up into heaven, but there is One who came down from heaven, the Son of Man [Himself—whose home is in heaven]”._*
Brothers and sisters, Jesus said _”No one has gone up into heaven, but there is One who came down from heaven, the Son of Man [Himself—whose home is in heaven]”._
I want to encourage us that this direct word of Jesus are true words. Jesus has been in existence before the creation of man and his mission to earth has been assigned even before creation. Jesus came as flesh and during his time on earth, he told us that before his coming to earth _’I have been in existence’.
Brethren, this is raw information that should trigger our faith in the kingdom of God. Jesus also said in *John 6:63, “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh conveys no benefit [it is of no account]. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life [providing eternal life]”.
What did Jesus mean by this?
Before he came on earth he was a spirit in heaven. He also said * “God is spirit”_ in John 4:24.* Therefore these words are directly from God because all what he says in scriptures are spirit and life. That is why man is a spirit being because we are created in God’s likeness and image *(Genesis 1:27).*
We should feed our spirit with the word of God, not our flesh because God is a spirit and he said we should worship him in spirit and in truth. For us to enter the kingdom of God, we should invest in our spirit beings and subdue our fleshly desires.
Stay blessed & encouraged!
