See Him That Sent Me

When Jesus came to redeem the world; the priest, the Pharisees, the scribe and even his relatives were busy looking at him as the son of Joseph and Mary not as the Christ or prophet who have come to save the world. Our Lord publicly proclaimed that every one who believed in him, as his true disciple, did not believe in him only, but also believes in the father who sent him. Beholding in Jesus the glory of the father, we learn to obey, love and trust him. By daily looking unto him, who came as light into the world, we are more and more freed from the darkness of ignorance, error, sin and misery. We learn  that the commands of our Lord Jesus lead to everlasting life. But the same commands will seal the condemnation of all who despises it, or neglects it. Yes, because the word of God says “believe in me, believe also in him who sent me”. Again another place said, that for him that does not believes in me and in him who sent me is condemned already. For my father’s will is that everyone who looks to the son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. Such applies to the way that we look at our fellow man. Do you still see that person as the son of that carpenter, the daughter of that teacher or more still that person that cleans the church. If that is how you still see others, that is, by considering their background, intelligence or either still their financial strength. You need to put on a new attitude and begin to see the Christ in them. See him of whom they are made in his image and likeness, who without his spirit they will all die. Then you will realize that you are more human, natural and above all you will begin to love your neighbor and God the way you love yourself too. Peace

Always Remember the Poor

Have you ever asked yourself why God allows his children to be poor? Because, definitely we all know that he can do all things and He can provide for all our needs according to his reaches in glory. Yes, he could make them all rich if he wish; He could lay bags of diamond at their doors; He could send them a large annual income; maximum wage at that, least of them all is providing them with abundant food as he did for his people of Israel. But that is really not happening, then you keep asking, why is it so, because I know that the word of God says that, “The cattle upon a thousand hills are His” and in another passage He says that “if He can provide for the birds of the air, what of us his lovely people”.

 

 Our God can provide for us even beyond our expectation. Because, the poor are also the sheep of his flock, we are advised to remember the poor in our society. The poor are loved by Christ, we should also love them too. Therefore, let us not look at helping the poor as a duty but rather as a privilege to relieve the poor of the Lord’s flock. As the saying goes, that him who helps the poor builds for himself house in heaven let us also not forget His words that says that we should be our brother’s keeper.

 Make therefore decision today to always help the poor in your society. For Galatians 2:10 says that we should always remember the poor.
