A Sad Christmas!

A movie called "Escape Room" is about a group friends who were trapped in an unknown place. They find different ways to figure out to escape but were not able to and led most of them to death.
27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice
29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.
30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.
John 5: 27-30 - A Sad Christmas!

 We were also trapped by our sins and transgressions. And tried our best through good works so we can go to heaven. And that's the reason we give money to the poor or the needy to think it would help us getting there. But we are wrong. 

Christmas is not just the birth of Jesus, it's also His death on the cross to let us escape from our sins. But we have to remember He didn't remain dead. He rose again on the third day to give us an eternal hope.

We all wish a merry and happy Christmas to our loved ones. But that's only an earthly happiness and we only wish them a happy lives on Christmas day. That's what most people do. We are all guilty of that.

Do we wish them a happy eternal life? But how can we have a happy eternal life? Through good works like giving money to charity? Through membership of a religion? No, not all. 

A happy eternal life can be found in Jesus alone. As John 3:16 says " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life".

Friends, let's go to Jesus for in Him there is always an assurance of a happy life in eternity. We may have a happy or merry Christmas on earth but if we don't have Jesus in our lives. We will be tormented in Hell of eternity. As He gonna judge us rightly according to what we have done. 

Apart from Christ our good works are nothing. Though good works are good but these are not to bring us to heaven. For good works are just filthy rags (Isaiah 64:6).

Notice, what He said in verse 28-29. He is telling us not to be amazed. Meaning we have to know these facts. That He will judge us soon. 

Friends, are you sure we have a happy Christmas? In our earthly mindset we have but what about in eternity? Are you sure you will go to Heaven through good works by giving money to the poor? By giving tithes in the Church? 

Yes Jesus came but did we accept and have fully surrender our lives to Him as our Savior and Lord? If not, come to Him today by admitting you are a sinner and needs Him as your Savior and Lord. Let Him rule into your hearts and will. 

It's gonna be a Sad Christmas if your soul will be tormented in Hell if you will reject Jesus as your Savior and Lord! Believe Jesus today, not later not tomorrow but today!

The Life We Ought To Be.

If there is one thing that you love most in you life, what is it? John 5:13-15 The verses below was about the invalid man for 38-years  whom Jesus healed. It was Jesus who offered the healing for him.  13 The man who was healed had no idea who it was, for Jesus had slipped away into the crowd that was there. 14 Later Jesus found him at the temple and said to him, “See, you are well again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” 15 The man went away and told the Jewish leaders that it was Jesus who had made him well. In all the things in the world. It was the "sin" that Jesus was telling him to stop. Jesus said to him "... Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you.” Does it mean he's gonna be invalid or disable again? I don't think so. This means that sin in our lives does not have a good result. Jesus was telling him that if he keeps on sinning it's going to ruin his spiritual life. See friends, Jesus was not only helpin...

What are your New Year's resolution?

I'm pretty sure we have New Year's resolution in our bucket list for the year 2018. We've been accustomed to have one. But are we going to really follow all of them? It's been common for most us to make a list of our New Year's resolution but we cannot deny the fact that we failed to follow them.  In these verses below, Paul explained the reason why we all fail.   “There is no one righteous, not even one;  there is no one who understands;  there is no one who seeks God.  All have turned away, they have together become worthless;  there is no one who does good,not even one.”  Romans 3:10-12. These verses simply means regardless of what religion you have or you belongs to. You are dead in the eyes of God. There are no exceptions.  Now, since there is no one is righteous that means no one can see God. That's why Christ died for our sins so we'll have access to God through Him. He is only perfect man who is God by nature who...

The Son of Man

John 5: 27   And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.   Here we see Jesus relationship with the Father. How intimate it is that the Father gave him the authority to judge.  But what does "Son of Man" mean? This does not mean that Jesus was son of Joseph the husband of Mary who conceived Jesus through the Holy Spirit. Let's read the book of   Daniel 7: 13-14  to help us understand why Jesus has this title being the "Son of Man". 13 “In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence. 14 He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all nations and peoples of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed. Jesus was obviously fulfilling the prophecy of Daniel when he said in...
