The heart of a loving Father.


“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him. Luke 15:11-20b

One of the famous parables in the Bible, they called it "The Prodigal Son". But I would like to call it "The Heart of a loving Father". 
Despite of the disobedient of the son. He was still willing to accept him back without questions or conditions. He showed compassion to him and embraced him with his loving arms. That's the heart of a loving father.
That's also our Father in Heaven. He is always compassionate and full of mercy. If we humble and draw near to Him, He will draw near to us and embrace us and more importantly He will forgive and cleanse our sins.

Romans 5:8 says "God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. That's how He loved us through His only Son Jesus died on the cross for us. Isaiah 53:10 even says "Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin,. See how Heavenly Father loved us by allowing His son suffered for our sins.

It's God who initiates for us to be back to His Kingdom and have an eternal life. It's all because of His unconditional love.

Texts Reading: Luke 15:11-32

John 3: 1 - 21 " The License To Heaven".

In order for us to drive a vehicle legally we must have a driver's license. And to get a driver's license is not an easy thing. You have to always undergo the protocol such physical examination that includes a series of test like drug test. And if you'll pass the physical examination. Next is you will undergo through a driving test. And if you'll pass, then that's the time you can get your license to drive. But how about to get to heaven? Do we need a license? Let's read through the conversation of a noble Pharisee and Jesus as He explained to him how to get to heaven. 3  Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus  who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.   2  He came to Jesus at night and said, “Rabbi,  we know  that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs  you are doing if God were not with him.” About Nicodemus: A Pharisee- Known to be law observer, teacher and expert. This man is...

Christmas is LIFE!

John 5: 26 26   For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself.   One week more to go for Christmas. I'm pretty sure all are excited celebrating holidays with with loved ones. But don't you know that Christmas is about life?  As God gave His only Son so everyone who believes will have eternal life (Jn 3:16). This would tell that God is a life giver. As He himself has life.  Can you give your life to others this Christmas? Not necessarily a material thing but perhaps a short period of time by spending or even sharing your life to other people would be a greatest gift you can give. And if you have  ever wondered where the life come from. It's from God.  For God himself is life. Therefore, He is the source and the author of life. It's gonna be 2018 next year. It's gonna be another year to add to our age. Another life to thank God that He remains faithful to us. Friends, as ...

The Road.

John 5:23 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.  Jesus statement became more not acceptable to the ears of Jewish leaders this time. Notice, He said "all may honor the Son". Not some. Therefore each and everyone must give honor to Him.  John in his little book in First John make it more dangerous. He used the word "deny" which has the same verb meaning with  disagree, renounce, decline even refuse or reject.  1 John 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father:  (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also . (KJV). But you see, how God gives us the chance? Both Jesus and John didn't stop there. They still gives options that those who honors and acknowledges the Son does the same to the Father. There is no bypass at all. Must go through Jesus always.  Let's back up a little of what John has said "whoe...
