they will hate you because they hated me..
this is what jesus said two thousand years ago.. so true..
today jesus has to go.. all can stay.. everyone is welcome.. but jesus has to go...
even like those days..
all power was taken away from jesus..
being the son of god they made him the least powerful man on earth..
he asked for food.. but no food was given..
he wanted water.. he was thirsty..
but was not given any.. and he died thirsty..
they tore his clothes.. he was naked on the cross...
in other words... he was the poorest and the most powerless man on earth..
was jesus upset?? no..
jesus was quiet.. he knew this was the way of the world..
and he even warned his followers.. if you follow me they will hate you also.. so think before you follow me..
look around and see who wants to walk with someone like jesus today.. no one..
the world is looking for glitter.. glamour.. fame.. power.. success..
surely not for jesus.. no not at all...
everyone wants to connect with the powerful.. the great and the mighty.. the rich.. successful..
jesus is not the messiah.. people dont go to god for comfort..
money is god.. power is worshipped..
entertainment is the religion.. entertainers are gods..
today children have only these people to follow.. the society has become hollow.. shallow and empty...
the vision of the world is...
do it today...
kal ho na ho... thats the philosophy of the devil...
and even many believers get decieved...
but jesus is the lord of kal.. of eternity.. everlasting life... kal hai.. and forever.. hai...
john 10:10 I have come to give you life and life forever.. zindagi forever...
JESUS SAID john 18:36
"My kingdom does not belong to this world... for now my kingdom is not from here."
James 4:4 Don't you know that friendship with the world means enemity with God? So whoever wants to be a friend of this world is an enemy of God.
tough choice in times like these... the world is more and more attractive now.. it has so much to offer..
on the other hand.. a poor jesus on the cross.. and he says if you want to follow me you have to take up a cross also just like me.. mark 8:34
that means no to the world... very hard.. very very hard..
but if we know the end choice becomes clear...
jesus said in matthew 13:11 "To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom, but to them it has not been given. ( to the world )
For those who have ( jesus ), more will be given, and they will have an abundance; but from those who have nothing, even what they have will be taken away."
this christmas.. let us never lose the most precious gift of christ in our lives...
giving up worldly life may seem foolishness to the people who are about to perish..
but it is salvation and power to those who will stick on and not get tempted of the devil..
christian doesnt mean your name should be robert or john or d'souza..
christian means who lives and reflects the life and character of jesus.. you may be raju or manoj..
merry christmas...
