So i was at bible study on day and we were at the discussion of if someone came up to you and told you, " hey, listen I have Discovered the cure for Cancer.", wouldn't you tell the whole world everything about the cure for cancer? wouldn't you jump up and down and scream. I have the Cure for Cancer and no one listens? what if people looked at you funny and pushed you away everytime you talked about it and didnt want to listen to it. Thats how i feel sometimes, or many people may feel, when i/they talk about Jesus Christ in school, streets, and to our families. people look and say oh he is the Christian boy or oh im glad your becoming a church boy. It gets Frustrating at times going to school with something so amazing that you want to share with the whole world and people just push you away, especially when you know the cure for death.
At first, I didn't understand at first why Jesus died on the cross and people say oh, he died for our sins. yea.. but it goes more deeper then that. ok so the wage or payment, trade-if you will- for sin is death. so the trade for sin is death. ok so back then when people sinned they would sacrifice a lamb. with me so far? so the lamb would be sacrificed therefore death was sacrificed. ok now, God had one son(people now in days know how precious their children are to them ). so the Virgin Mary, which she didn't know a man, which ment she was a virgin hence the virgin Mary. Had Gods Son. ok now the Only son of God was Perfect, Jesus never tapped. now if you take Past,present and future of people and their sins (6-8 billion) people in the world, not included how many there were in the past, into one man-the perfect man Gods Only begotten Son who was Perfect- one person or hence "THE LAMB" has died for us to recieve Gods Grace(which means something you dont deserve). now this is why Jesus Sweated Blood around the time he was to be Crucified. when your in a lot of stress you are able to sweat blood. Now i can't imagine my father,niece, nephew, or anyone go through what Jesus went through. Imagine you Daughter/Son on a cross nailed and died. You knew he was going to die at that. Jesus Knew He was going to Die. and yet he did not run away from it.
Jesus was crucified and one man to his left says to the people basically "we deserve to be killed but this man has done nothing wrong" "he prays for you" he asks Jesus please dont forget us when your in paradis" so he repents in a way and asks for gods forgiveness and was forgiven. he was going to die and yet jesus listen to him after all his stress and after all he was going through. the other guy said" if your the son of god why dont you bring us down" but god is merciful and is loving and if you are truely sorry in your heart and want to be forgiven then you will be. Jesus did not do anything wrong, i feel that i should be crucified on the cross because i deserve to die and go to hell. we as people do not deserve Gods Grace, but he was Perfect. he was the person to raise people from the dead and heal people by words and physically heal them. and yet he was crucified for saying that he was the messiah and preaching what he preached. when he was crucified he still asked god to forgive the people who were the reason to nail him to the cross and he still would do it again if he had the oppertunity too. now this is gods love. He loved us so much, that he gave us his son, his only son , the Lamb, to be crucified for our sins. now i dont think i could be that loving to anyone to have my only son nailed to a cross after being nearly tortered and crucified. if thats not love i dont know what is because god wants us to be loving and to be like The man J.C to love people and to live your life for your neighbor.
Jesus died not only for our sins but he rose from the dead after he was crucified. and brought to a tomb where a big boulder in front of it. He did rise from the dead. now i had an uncle that past away last semester in November and it was horrible. i cant imagine what the people who loved Jesus at the time were going through, but to see his torture and to see him die in front of you is devistating. BUT heres the amazing part! He Rises from the DEAD. how incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i still am amazed and i wasnt even there let alone the people who were who saw him. he said this before that he was going to be crucified and that he was going to be risen from the dead and he was going to show his wounds from his hands and feet and he did as said. His promise that he will be risen from the dead, he kept his word and kept his promise. now To Recieve Gods Grace and to enter into his KINGDOM we have to believe in Jesus Christ for he died for our sins and he was the son of God. Also we have to believe what he lived for and what he tought us. which makes sense because people are sinners and to show us how to live and how to love. what more of a way to show us how to love and the definition of love then to have your son and to have your son crucified for our sins and then wake up from the dead. basically like a teacher of the world. Words from Frances Chan is that god is basically proposing to you, he wants a loving relationship with you and he wants to love you. he wants you to love and be happy. its like a hall way. god is at one side and your at the other. around god is a paradise of beauti and happiness and he is jumping up and down telling you to come over and be with him he is waving you over. but it is your choice and you have to walk over to him. people dont believe in him because it sounds strange to people or rediculous to poeple. well, can you hold your breathe for 4 mins with out a breathe being taken? a baby is in the womb for 9 months in fluid with out a single breathe. the universe in to go on forever and is gigantic beyond knowledge. there are dreams we have that we can see touch and feel even taste whats not there. people cant see wind or grasp the voice in our heads. people in the word think its ridiculous to believe in god but whats even for redicoulous is people killing, raping, murdering, and wasting their life away. what is wrong to believe that someone loves us and wants to love us and for us to have faith that god will be there for us and not to worry about whats going to happen in life. whats wrong with knowing that there is a paradise. or that no matter what happends god will b there to have our backs. I dont have a worry in my life because if i put as much effort as i possibly can in life that Jesus our lord will finish for us. I am Happy in life knowing that god is there for me or that god wants me to be a man of his image. To live with love and faith that god will be there no matter what is a thought beyond my control, and the people who have faith in him and believe in him are crazy ones? my uncle said what if im wrong? well if im wrong then i was foolish, i lived my life with love and lived to love people and to do for others. i lived my life a happy life and i lived my life as Jesus as my role model. but what if your wrong. your at the gates of heaven and god asks you. "why should i let you in my kingdom" what will you say? Jesus Promises us that we shall recieve salvation through him if we have faith in him and live the way he wants us to live. Jesus Conquered Death and is our Cure For Death.
God Is merciful
