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

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...

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 ...
