JESUS LOVES YOU CONFESS YOUR SINS TO HIM
"When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby." John 11:4
When Lazarus died his sisters sent word for Jesus to come and help them in their pathetic situation, where they found their own brother died. They were in sorrow and needed urgent attention and help, especially, from Jesus, whom they regarded as their best friend and adored him as the Son of God. To their despair Jesus did not come to their rescue but when he heard the news about the death of Lazarus, Jesus said, "This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God, might be glorified thereby:". After four days Jesus comes to Bethany, the place where Mary and Martha lived along with their brother Lazarus. Many Jews comforted them, whey they were filled with sorrow and needed help. Mary sat still at home but Martha received him. Martha had an interesting and very important conversation with him. When Jesus said Lazarus will rise again, Martha did not fully understand what he was saying, yet she asserted an important point there, that she knew Lazarus will resurrect at the last day. Jesus responded to her saying, Jesus himself was the resurrection, and whoever believed in him shall be saved. Jesus also asked her if she believed that Jesus was the resurrection, to which, Martha replied that she believed Jesus was the resurrection, and also that he was the Christ, the Son of God, who should come into the world. Interesting point, which many Jews never realized this fact, and many rejected Jesus as the Messiah. After saying this, Martha called Mary to see Jesus. Mary quickly arose and came to him fell down on his feet and said if Jesus were to be there in Bethany, Lazarus would not have died. Mary was weeping and few Jews also were weeping with her and comforting her. Seeing this situation, Jesus involved himself, emotionally, in their sorrow, and he wept. What a great point to notice here that Jesus involves himself in our sorrow and weeps with us when we are in trouble. Many times we do not realize this fact and think Jesus is not at all concerned with out problems. But this is not true. There is time for him to respond. It is He himself who sets that time to respond so that his name be glorified and through him, and the Father in heaven is glorified. Jesus did not keep silent thereafter, but responded to their amazement, that Jesus called Lazarus out from the grave and Lazarus come alive.
I
can not forget the situation I was in when I fell totally unconscious on my
chair because I was seriously ill, and the way God helped me by finding people
to carry me with the chair from the living room to the ambulance and then to the
hospital for treatment. This reminds me the promise God gave me through a
believer who cited Isaiah 46:4 “And even to your old age I am he; and even to
hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry,
and will deliver you".
It is indeed true that God carried me all through
these years until this day. I praise him and worship Him. More than that I boast
in saying that I have a living God, who I can depend upon and who sent His one
only one Son, Jesus Christ, who died for me on the cross of Calvary, was buried
and rose from the dead on the third day, and later ascended in to
heaven.
Jesus was nailed upon the cross of Calvary, shed his precious
blood for your sake, just as he did for me, died for your sake on your behalf,
was buried, and after providing purification for your sins, he ascended in to
heaven and sat down at the right of the Majesty. He is loving God and He is
living God.
Enter here to
read about the miracles Jesus did when he was on this earth. We should
understand one fact that not all the miracles and great things Jesus did
when he was on this earth were recorded. "And there are also many
other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every
one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that
should be written. Amen." John 21:25
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life".
John 3:16
My Prayer is with you. I pray that God may grant your prayers and bless you
according to His riches in the name of Lord Jesus Christ. "But my God shall
supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus".
Philippians 4:19
Romans: 10:9"That if you confess with your mouth, `Jesus is Lord,'
and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be
saved".
Joel 2: 32a and Romans 10:13 ‘…Every one who calls on the name of
the Lord will be saved."
John 3:3-5While speaking to Nicodemus Jesus said
"I tell you the truth, no can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again."
“How can a man be born when he is old? Nicodemus asked, "Surely he cannot enter
a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" Jesus answered, "I tell you
the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and
the Spirit...."What is faith?
Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is
justified by faith apart from observing the law. It is the belief reposed in
Jesus Christ that He is the Messiah, He is the Son of God, and He is our
personal savior.
JESUS DIED FOR OUR SAKE. HE WAS BURIED, ROSE FROM THE
DEAD AND ASCENDED IN TO HEAVEN – BELIEVE IN HIM TO ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
JESUS SAID - NO ONE CAN ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD UNLESS HE/SHE IS BORN AGAIN.
"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their
being."
Salvation
is available freely for all who believe in Jesus
Christ, and confess his/her sins to Him, and accept Jesus Christ as his/her
personal Savior and also acknowledge Him as his/her Lord.
