About
the Book
Paul warns us in 2 Corinthians 11:4 to be aware
of “another Jesus,” “another spirit,” and
“another gospel.” Why was this warning necessary during
Paul’s day and how does it apply to us today? Is there “another
Jesus” being preached today? If so, who is this “Jesus”?
What “spirit” is being received and what “gospel”
is being preached? How can one who desires to receive the “real
thing” know the difference? The answer is: only by way of
the Spirit of Christ.
The Lord God did not have the disciples of Jesus to preach a natural
Jesus, and we must not do so today. The natural Jesus is a clever
invention of Satan. God hath made man upright; but they have sought
out many inventions (Eccl. 7:29). I do not mean that there was no
historical Jesus. To the contrary, this fact is documented beyond
doubt. The natural Jesus is the invention of Satan to cause men
and women to act in the flesh by focusing on the outward person
and not the inward Spirit; man looks on the outward appearance,
but the Lord looks inwardly on the heart ( 1 Sam. 16:7).
I wish to acquaint you with two Jesuses: Jesus of the flesh, and
Jesus of the Spirit. We have already spoken much about the Jesus
of the flesh in that which we have discussed above. By the Jesus
of the flesh, I do not mean Mary’s son. Though Mary’s
son was Jesus in the flesh, there is “another Jesus”
who is preached.
