"The Young Messiah" - Misrepresentation of Christ

I went to see the movie, "The Young Messiah" and was disturbed by the false doctrine and misrepresentation of Jesus the True Messiah. The movie did, however, represent the false teaching of religion in many of America's churches. What is that false teaching?  That Jesus functioned on earth independent of the Father and the Holy Spirit. That as a child He did miracles before His anointing of Luke 4 and His baptism of Luke 3. The bible clearly shows us that Jesus functioned on earth as a man, under the authority of the Father.  In fact, Jesus could do nothing of Himself.  He said that in John 5:19 "Jesus gave them this answer: 'Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does." Jesus repeated that same answer all through the book of John.  (John 5:30, John 8:28) One of the most powerful verses on Jesus relationship to the Father is found in John 5:26-27. It is clear that the Father gave Jesus authority on earth to execute judgment, because Jesus was the "Son of Man". Jesus, totally on this earth, functioned under transmitted authority. What are you saying Jerry? Jesus laid aside His right to walk on this earth in His divine authority, but rather operated under transmitted authority from the Father. Why is this important? Because Jesus is demonstrating to us how to come under the Father's authority as men. Jesus never lost His divinity and always remained the Son of God, but became man to demonstrate how we can have the same authority He had.  This is clearly referred to in Philippians 2:5-7 "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men." That is why Jesus stated, "The works that I do, you shall do also, and greater works than these shall you do because I go to my Father."  John 14:12

Before Jesus left this earth He promised the disciples they could received the same power, the same authority He had.  Therefore they could do the same miracles, the same works that Jesus did.  Why?  Because He was going to transmit to US the same power through the Holy Spirit that He received at His baptism and anointing in Luke 4!  This power upon the disciples began in John 20 when Jesus breathed upon them the Holy Spirit and said, "Receive ye the Spirit".  Then at Pentecost the same power fell on the 120.  Today the exact same power falls on us.  It has not changed. We can walk under the exact same anointing Jesus had. Therefore we can heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons and proclaim with authority "the kingdom is here". Unfortunately much of the modern evangelical church does not believe this.  So she remains intellectual and logical and not supernatural. Thank you Jesus for becoming a man and demonstrating to us how a "man" can function under authority.  So we too can, as men, walk in Your authority and power for Your glory!
