Last Saying Of Christ: 1st Saying

Read: Luke 23:34[a]
      
Jesus's first word on the cross was (Luke 23:24[a]) Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”. So, this first saying of Christ mainly teaches us to forgive and love others. 

Let us relate this saying to a parable of Jesus. Matthew 18:21- 35.

The parable teaches us that forgiveness should be in like proportion to the amount forgiven. The first servant had been forgiven all, and he then should have forgiven all.

Jesus died for us facing all the insult like a few days before on Palm Sunday the people were welcoming Jesus to Jerusalem like a king but a few days later they accused him and said that he must be crucified if Jesus wanted he could have brought an army of angels from heaven, but he was merciful and instead of having grudge he asked the father for the forgiveness of our sins. In like manner, a child of God by faith through Christ has had all sins forgiven. Therefore, when someone offends or sins against us we should be willing to forgive him from a heart of gratitude for the grace to which we ourselves are debtors. 

 So, now in the final days of our lent season let us forgive everyone and release our anger, depression, sadness, loneliness, etc knowing that Christ has taken all of these on the cross for us. AMEN.

Road Trip Of Life

Road Trip Of Life Read: Matthew 16:24-26 Then Jesus went to work on his disciples. “Anyone who intends to come with me has to let me lead. You’re not in the driver’s seat;  I  am. Don’t run from suffering; embrace it. Follow me and I’ll show you how. Self-help is no help at all. Self-sacrifice is the way, my way, to finding yourself, your true self. What kind of deal is it to get everything you want but lose yourself? What could you ever trade your soul for?  (MSG Version)     We all have been on road trips if not at least a long journey only on road. There are ups and downs in every journey. So is it with a believer? With many tensions and problems to face (no one can say they haven't been through one or will not go through because being a believer is not easy. But do not be discouraged by that but remember after every pain comes with a reward). Every believer has a journey but the destination is the same to be a part of his kingdom. Some maybe Job's, ...

The Sermon On The Mount Series: Relationship With God Read: Matthew 6:1-4, 16-21 & 24 This post has been divided into the following parts,      1. Do good to please God [Matthew 6:1-4]      2. Fasting [Matthew 6:16-18]      3. Lay up treasures in heaven [Matthew 6:19-21 & 24] 1. Do Good To Please God [Matthew 6:1-4]:- The first verse says, " Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them.  If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. " Jesus instructs us to be careful when we practice righteousness in front of others. Being careful here means to be alert of our actions and intentions rather than the response of others. There can be two types of intentions, > God praising , who give all the glory to God and humble themselves before others just like Jesus. Jesus no matter what great miracles He did, humbled himself and gave praises to His Father. [Also see Matthew 5:16] ...

Last Saying Of Christ: 7th Saying

Last Saying Of Christ: 7th Saying Read: Luke 23:46        Jesus's seventh word on the cross was  (Luke 23:46 ) And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, he said: "Father into your hands I commit my spirit .”   Here, Jesus is willingly giving up His soul into the Father’s hands, indicating that He was about to die – and that God had accepted His sacrifice. He “offered up Himself unblemished to God” ( Hebrews 9:14 ).   w hen we see Je sus die, we see two things: the  price paid  to bring us to glory; and the  example given  for how we are to get there. So let's learn from Jesus how to die, by focusing on  Luke 23:44–46 .  These were the final word said by our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ. We have many lessons to learn from this; the first one is that "Death is a way to eternal life" this means that though he is going to the grave he will reign all eternity likewise when we die our bodies may go to the grave but o...
