THE DIVINITY OF JESUS

PART 1 — UNDERSTANDING THE REALMS

People often ask about Jesus:

“If Jesus is God, how could He be hungry, tired, suffer, or die?”

To many, this seems impossible.

They conclude:

«“God cannot be weak or die. Therefore, Jesus cannot be God.”»

But what if the issue is not Jesus?

What if we are trying to understand a spiritual mystery with only physical reasoning?

To understand the divinity of Jesus, we must first understand humanity.

Human beings are not only physical.

God formed man from dust and breathed life into him, and he became a living soul.

We are spiritual beings living in physical bodies.

Our body is the vessel through which we experience the world.

We see, hear, touch, and move through it.

But it is temporary.

Paul calls it our “earthly house.”

Scripture also points to a future transformed, incorruptible body.

So human existence is more than what we see.

Now consider God.

God is Spirit.

Jesus said:

«“God is a Spirit.” — John 4:24»

God is invisible and not physical.

Yet He entered His creation to reveal Himself to us.

This is where the mystery of Jesus begins.

John says:

«“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”»

And:

«“The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us.”»

The Word did not stop being God.

The Word became flesh.

Hebrews 10:5 says:

«“A body hast thou prepared me.”»

The eternal Son took on real humanity.

So Jesus could be hungry, tired, and sleep—because He was truly human.

But His humanity did not cancel His divinity.

He remained the eternal Son of God.

And with that understanding, what seems like contradiction begins to make sense.

But we must go deeper.

Because if Jesus is truly God...

what does His humanity mean for His suffering and death?

PART 2 — THE DIVINITY OF JESUS: THE GOD WHO BECAME MAN

How could the eternal Son suffer and die while remaining God?

That is the mystery we will explore in Part 2.

🔥 WHEN THE SHARPENED INSTRUMENT MEETS THE ASSIGNMENT — PART 2

In Part 1, we saw something important:
God sharpens what He intends to use.
The farmer doesn't spend hours grinding an axe because he enjoys watching sparks.
He sharpens it because...
there is a tree waiting.
And this is where someone needs to understand your present season.
You may be wondering:
“Why all this preparation?”
“Why all this correction?”
“Why all this waiting?”
“Why is God dealing with me so deeply?”
Because there is a difference between being available and being prepared.
Paul said:

“If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.”
— 2 Timothy 2:21

God told Jeremiah:

“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms...”
— Jeremiah 1:10

That assignment is serious kingdom work.
And God didn’t call Jeremiah just because he was available.
He first said:

“Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee...”
— Jeremiah 1:5

There was purpose behind the preparation.
Isaiah adds:

“Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument...”
— Isaiah 41:15

God makes the instrument sharp before use.
So don’t rush the process.
Don’t demand assignment while resisting preparation.
Don’t ask for influence while resisting discipline.
Don’t seek public use while rejecting private work.
Because the axe doesn’t choose the tree.
The farmer does.
So surrender:

“...yield yourselves unto God...”
— Romans 6:13

Let Him lead, correct, and prepare you.
Because the goal is not fame.
It is usefulness in His hands.
And when God finally uses you, everything will make sense.
Jesus said:

“Every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it...”
— John 15:2

The pruning is for more fruit.
There is a season for everything:

“To every thing there is a season...”
— Ecclesiastes 3:1

A season to be hidden, shaped, and sharpened.
So if you are in that season...
Stay on the stone.
Don’t resist the process.
Don’t compare your preparation to someone else’s platform.
The farmer knows why he is sharpening the axe.
And God knows why He is working on you.
There is a tree ahead.
There is an assignment ahead.
And when the Master says, “It’s time,” He will send you Himself.

“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit...”
— Zechariah 4:6

So let God sharpen you, prune you, and prepare you.
You are not being prepared for nothing.
The assignment is still ahead.
And the Master is still sharpening His instrument.
🔥 The question is not only, “Does God want to use me?”
It is: “Am I willing to be made ready for His use?”

🔥 BEFORE GOD USES YOU, HE SHARPENS YOU — PART 1

There is a saying often attributed to Abraham Lincoln:

“Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.”

Whether or not Lincoln actually said those exact words, the principle is powerful:

Preparation determines how effectively you execute an assignment.

Imagine a farmer standing before a massive tree with a blunt axe.

He swings.

Again.

And again.

But the blade barely penetrates.

His strength is disappearing.

His time is being wasted.

His frustration is increasing.

And the tree is still standing.

Then he stops.

He takes the axe to the sharpening stone.

Now there is grinding.

Friction.

Heat.

Noise.

Sparks.

The axe is being worked upon.

And if that axe could speak, perhaps it would cry:

“Why are you hurting me?”

But the farmer knows something the axe doesn't know.

**He isn't destroying the axe.

He is preparing it.**

The Bible gives us this exact principle:

«“If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength...”
— Ecclesiastes 10:10»

A blunt instrument requires more strength.

And here is the spiritual question:

What if some of the struggles you are experiencing are not because God has forgotten you—but because He is sharpening you?

You have been praying:

“Lord, use me.”

“Lord, send me.”

“Lord, give me greater influence.”

“Lord, let me do mighty things for Your kingdom.”

But perhaps God is saying:

“Before I increase your assignment, let Me increase your capacity.”

Because we are instruments in God's hands.

Paul said:

«“...a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.”
— 2 Timothy 2:21»

Prepared for the Master's use.

That's the issue.

Not merely gifted.

Not merely talented.

Not merely passionate.

Prepared.

God told Isaiah:

«“Behold, I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth...”
— Isaiah 41:15»

Notice that word:

SHARP.

God doesn't merely want an instrument.

He wants a sharp instrument.

And sometimes sharpening means God has to deal with things we don't want Him to touch.

He may have to grind away pride.

Remove impatience.

Break our dependence on people's approval.

Correct our motives.

Teach us obedience.

Deepen our prayer life.

Strengthen our character.

Sometimes He takes us through seasons where nobody sees us.

Nobody applauds us.

Nobody celebrates us.

And we wonder:

“God, when will You finally use me?”

But what if the answer is:

“I am using this season to prepare you for what you asked Me for.”

David was anointed king long before he sat on the throne.

Joseph received the dream long before he entered the palace.

Moses spent years in the wilderness before confronting Pharaoh.

And Jesus lived approximately thirty years before beginning His public ministry (Luke 3:23).

Then He entered the wilderness for forty days before launching into His public ministry (Luke 4:1–2).

**The hidden years were not wasted years.

They were sharpening years.**

So don't despise the season where God is working on you.

The grinding may be painful.

The waiting may be frustrating.

The correction may be uncomfortable.

But remember the axe.

**The stone is not the destination.

The tree is.**

God is not sharpening you so that you can remain on the sharpening stone forever.

He is preparing you for an assignment.

And that brings us to the next question:

What exactly is God preparing you to do?

Because when God sharpens an instrument...

He intends to use it.

THE TRUE TEST OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY — PART 4

THE TEST THAT BUILDS YOU

We often pray:
“Lord, remove the trial.”
But sometimes God's answer is not immediate removal.
Sometimes He uses the trial to produce something in us.
James says:

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds.”

Why?

“For you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness.”
— James 1:2–3

Peter says that the testing of our faith is like gold being tested by fire.

“The tested genuineness of your faith… may be found to result in praise and glory and honor.”
— 1 Peter 1:7

Trials expose weaknesses.
But they can also develop endurance.
Endurance develops character.
And character produces hope.

Romans 5:3–4

Even Jesus, the perfect Son of God, walked through suffering.
Hebrews 5:8 says:

“Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered.”

This does not mean Jesus was sinful or spiritually immature.
It means His perfect obedience was demonstrated and fully experienced through the suffering He endured.
So don't automatically interpret every difficult season as evidence that God has abandoned you.
Sometimes the wilderness is preparation.
Sometimes the battle is training.
Sometimes the storm is revealing what needs to grow.
And sometimes the very thing you are praying will end is the environment God is using to deepen your dependence on Him.

Maturity is not the absence of trials.
It is the development of steadfast faith through them.
So ask yourself:
When adversity comes…
Do I panic or pray?
Do I complain or trust?
Do I run from God or run toward Him?
Do I abandon His Word or hold onto it?
Do I see only the storm…
Or do I still see Jesus in the boat?
Because the real question is not:
“Will I ever face storms?”
You will.
Jesus Himself said:

“In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”
— John 16:33

The real question is:
“Who will I become when the storm is over?”
May every trial make us more steadfast.
May every battle deepen our faith.
May every wilderness draw us closer to God.
And may every storm reveal—not the weakness of our faith—but the God in whom our faith rests.
The storm will come.
The test will come.
But by the grace of God, may we come out of it stronger, wiser, deeper, and more mature in Christ.

When your next storm comes, what will it reveal about you?

THE TRUE TEST OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY — PART 3

WHEN FEAR PARALYZES AN ARMY

For 40 days, Goliath came out morning and evening.
He challenged the armies of Israel.
And every time he appeared…
They ran.
Israel had soldiers.
They had weapons.
They had armour.
They had an army.
They even had a king.
But none of these things could overcome the fear inside them.
Then David arrived.
A young shepherd.
No military uniform.
No battlefield reputation.
No impressive armour.
Just faith in the living God.
Everyone else looked at Goliath and saw an impossible problem.
David looked at Goliath and saw an opportunity for God's name to be glorified.
He asked:

“Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?”
— 1 Samuel 17:26

The difference was not that David couldn't see the giant.
He could.
The difference was what David saw beyond the giant.
The soldiers measured Goliath against themselves.
David measured Goliath against God.
And that changed everything.
This is one of the clearest differences between fear and faith.
Fear says: “Look how big the problem is.”
Faith says: “Look how great my God is.”
Fear magnifies the threat.
Faith magnifies God.
And sometimes our greatest problem is not the size of the challenge.
It is the size of our view of God.
You may have Scripture in your head…
You may have years of church experience…
You may have a title…
You may even know how to speak the language of faith.
But when the giant appears…
what comes out of you?
Fear?
Or faith?
The test of maturity is not what you say when the battlefield is empty.
It is what you do when Goliath walks onto the field.

“For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.”
— 2 Timothy 1:7

Your giant may look different from David's.
It may be financial.
Relational.
Emotional.
Ministerial.
Professional.
Or simply an uncertain future.
But the question remains:
Will you measure your God by the size of your problem—or your problem by the greatness of your God?

THE TRUE TEST OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY — PART 2

THE BATTLES NOBODY SAW

Before David stood before Goliath…

There was a wilderness.

Before there was a public victory…

There were private battles.

David was not sitting on a throne when God was preparing him.

He was tending sheep.

And while nobody was watching, danger came.

A lion attacked.

A bear came.

David fought them and protected the flock.

Years later, when Goliath stood before Israel, David remembered those private victories.

He told Saul:

«“The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine.”
— 1 Samuel 17:37»

Notice David's confidence.

He wasn't saying:

“I am strong enough to defeat Goliath.”

He was saying:

“The God who delivered me before will deliver me again.”

That is spiritual maturity.

David's confidence had been built in places where there was no crowd to applaud him.

The wilderness was not wasted.

It was preparation.

The battles nobody saw were preparing him for the battle everybody would see.

And perhaps that is why some of the battles you are facing privately matter more than you realize.

The character you are developing when nobody is watching…

The prayers you pray when nobody hears…

The obedience you practice when nobody applauds…

The temptations you resist…

The times you choose to trust God when you could easily give up…

These are not wasted moments.

God may be building something in you that will be required for a future assignment.

David did not suddenly discover faith when he saw Goliath.

Goliath simply revealed the faith that had already been tested in the wilderness.

Never despise your wilderness.

Never despise small beginnings.

Never despise the battles nobody sees.

Because God may be using them to prepare you for something everybody will eventually see.

«“Whoever is faithful in very little is also faithful in much.”
— Luke 16:10»

"David had to tell the story of the lion and the bear, because the world only knew the story of Goliath. Never despise the private battles God is using to prepare you for your public assignment."

THE TRUE TEST OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY — PART 1

WHEN THE STORM REVEALS YOU

The true test of maturity is not in your words.
It is not in your title, position, or ministry office.
It is not in your age.
And it is not even in how long you have been around.
Adversity reveals maturity.
Storms reveal what is inside you.
Anyone can look strong when everything is going well.
But let the storm come…
Let the prayer seem unanswered.
Let the door close.
Let the opposition rise.
Let the situation move beyond your control.
Then watch what happens.
In Mark 4, Jesus and His disciples were crossing the Sea of Galilee when a violent storm suddenly arose.
The waves were crashing into the boat.
The disciples were terrified.
But Jesus was asleep.
They woke Him and cried out in fear.
Jesus stood up, rebuked the wind and the sea, and there was a great calm.
Then He asked:

“Why are you so afraid? Have you still no faith?”
— Mark 4:40

The same storm was outside all of them.
But the storm revealed something different inside them.
The disciples saw the storm and panicked.
Jesus saw the storm and remained at rest.
The storm did not determine their maturity.
It revealed it.
And this is important:
Spiritual maturity does not mean you never feel afraid.
You may tremble.
You may cry.
You may not understand what is happening.
But maturity means fear does not become your master.
You learn to trust God even when you cannot see what He is doing.
James says:

“The testing of your faith produces steadfastness.”
— James 1:3

Sometimes the storm you are asking God to remove is the very environment in which He is strengthening your faith.
So when the next storm comes, don't only ask:
“Lord, when will this storm end?”
Also ask:
“Lord, what are You producing in me through this storm?”
Because sometimes…
the storm is not just testing your faith.
It is developing your faith.

DON'T RUSH AN ASSIGNMENT YOU HAVEN'T UNDERSTOOD

One of the greatest dangers in fulfilling a divine assignment is moving before you fully understand what God has instructed you to do.
Some people are eager to start, but they have not taken time to understand the assignment.
They know the what, but not the how. They know the where, but not the when.
And that can be dangerous, because God is a God of details.
When God instructed Moses about the tabernacle, He did not just say, “Build Me a tabernacle.” He gave a pattern, specifications, and clear instructions.
And He warned:

“See that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount.”
— Hebrews 8:5

Why? Because in God’s program, details matter.

Moses could not improvise. The assignment belonged to God, so the pattern mattered.
We must learn the same lesson. Sometimes we become excited and impatient, and we start moving without understanding the full instruction.
We make decisions, build, speak, and launch—but we have not asked:
“Lord, how exactly do You want this done?”
Zeal is good, but zeal without understanding is dangerous.
Saul’s story shows this. He was told to wait, but he acted under pressure instead of instruction, and it cost him.
Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is wait—until the instruction, timing, and boundaries are clear.
God sees what you cannot see. He knows the full plan.
So when He says wait—wait. When He says go—go. When He says stay—stay.
The issue is not whether it makes sense immediately, but whether you trust Him.
And once God has spoken, do not modify the instruction.
Do not add to it, remove from it, or adjust it because of pressure or opinion.
The assignment is His. The timing is His. The outcome is His.
Your responsibility is faithfulness.
Paul said:

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.”
— 1 Corinthians 3:6

You do your part; God handles the result.
So be faithful, not forceful.
God says:

“The word of our God shall stand for ever.”
— Isaiah 40:8

“I am watching over my word to perform it.”
— Jeremiah 1:12

Don’t rush. Don’t improvise. Don’t compromise.
Understand the assignment, the timing, and the boundaries—then obey faithfully.
