Jesus had healed a groups of sick people. Only one of them came back and give thanks to our Lord. Read :

 “One of the lepers, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.” ( Luke 17:15)

Lord Jesus asked him “Where are others?”

JESUS’ MOTHER AND BROTHERS

 While he was still speaking to the people, behold, his mother and his brothers stood outside, asking to speak to him. But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers!For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” (Matthew 12 : 46-50)

Hope you are Jesus’ brother or sister.

If not yet, call on Him in prayer. Confess that you are sinner and are doom to die without Him. Request Him to forgive your sin and not receiving Him till date. Invite Him to become your Lord and Saviour. Tell Him to control and direct your life. Ask Him to be always with you and help you live a good life worthy to be His follower. Request Him to bless you through the Holy Spirit.

Jesus - His Death

 
"And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross." (Philippians 2:8)
 
"The death of Jesus Christ is mentioned more than 120 times in the New Testament, and is spoken of many times by the prophets in the Old Testament.
 
01) The death of Jesus Christ was vicarious (Matthew 20:28). He was God's substitute for sinners (2 Corinthians 5:21). On the cross, Christ was made sin for the sinner. By faith in Him, the sinner is made righteous with the righteousness of God.

Purpose of Trials in Our Life

 “Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for his people"Psalm 66:5

Job, probably the oldest book in the Bible, asks this question. Job’s friends accuse him of a hidden sin, since God seems to be punishing him with tragedies. Is this true? Are tragedies punishment from God? The Bible says, absolutely not!

Tragedy Can Bring Us to Jesus

We have false expectations if we believe that good deeds are always rewarded, and evil is always punished in this life. We live in a fallen world, corrupted by sin. Disease and disasters are a natural result (see Romans 8:20-22). Yet our problems and needs are the very things that can cause us to seek God and draw closer to Him.

Jesus was asked this question by his followers: “Why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parents’ sin?” “It was not because of his sin or his parents’ sins,” Jesus answered. “This happened so the power of God could be seen in him” (John 9:2-3).

God’s Power Revealed

Then Jesus healed the man and restored his sight. According to Jesus, this man had lived in darkness all his life for this one moment: so that the healing power of Jesus could be revealed, and he would see that Jesus is the “Light of the World” that leads us out of darkness. Because of this miracle in his life, he was able to say, “‘Yes, Lord, I believe!’ and he worshiped Jesus” (John 9:38). And because of his testimony, many others believed as well.

Only God Can Do the Impossible

RECEIVE THE GIFT OF GOD

You are very special to God. You are His child. God loves and cares you. He wants you to come to Him and receive His abundant blessings. But you can not come directly to your Heavenly Father, God. You must come through His Son, Jesus Christ. If not, God will never receive you. That is why Jesu says,

“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” ( John 14:6)

One must receive Jesus to come to God. When one receive  God’s Son Jesus Christ, God forgive . This ‘forgiveness of God’  is ‘Salvation’ from sin and its consequences, which is eternal condemnation.

Salvation is the gift of God.

Jesus is the gift of God.

Jesus came and died for us on the cross. He roused again and was taken to God in Heaven. God give Him all authorities on earth and in Heaven (Matthew 28:18).

 You and me and all are now in His mercy.

He became the ‘way’, Bridge between man and God.

Receive Him, He will make you God’s child (John 1:12).

Becoming the ‘child of God’ means having everything for your happiness. And what’s more?

What more will you need when you become the ‘child of the Creator of everything on eath and in heaven.

Please receive Jesus Christ now. Call Him in prayer. Ask Him to become your Lord and Saviour. Ask Him to give you the gift of God – ‘forgiveness of sin’, ‘Salvation’ and make you God’s child.

Jesus - His Humanity

"Paul, a bond-servant of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which He promised beforehand through His prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning His Son, Who was born a descendant of David according to the flesh . . ." (Romans 1:1-3)
 
"The humanity of Jesus Christ is seen in His human parentage (Matthew 2:11).
 
1) He developed as a normal human being (Luke 2:52).
 
2) He was subject to all the sinless infirmities of the human nature:
           
            a. He was hungry (Matthew 4:2)
            b. He was thirsty (John 19:28)
            c. He was weary (John 4:6)
            d. He wept (John 11:35)
            e. He was tempted (Hebrews 4:15)
 
Jesus is man, and yet He is more than man. He is not God and man, but the God-Man. He is God in human flesh. His two natures are bound together in such a way that the two become one, having a single consciousness and will."
 
Jesus had to be human to die for sinful humans; He had to be God to be a sufficiently perfect sacrifice to be acceptable by the Father. Let us always thank Him and praise Him for all that He has done for us.

Tolle Lege

Augustine (354-430 AD) was problem child with ungovernable temper; lied and stole often. He was thrown out of house. His mother, Monica continuously prayed for him. God answered her prayer.

Many years later, Augustine became full of grief and worried of his life. One day, as he could no longer bear the trouble in his heart, he wept bitterly. Then, he heard a voice from an unknown child said, “Tolle, lege” (“Take up and read”).

There, on the table, was Epistle of Paul. He opened the book and read: “Let us live honorably, as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires” ( Romans 13:13-14).

The Bible verse turned him away from his old nature to God. He became the great follower of Jesus Christ and Saint of great fame – Saint Augustine.

Let us pray for our love ones, for other believers and non-believers, too that God may open their heart and turn them to Jesus Christ.

Today, the same voice of the Holy Spirit is saying to you “Tolle, lege”.

Therefore, open and read your Bible daily and always pray that God may help you understand His Holy words and make you His worthy child.

May God bless you.

Freedom in Christ

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.( Galatians 5:1)
All who believe in the only true God and received His Son Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Saviour have become free from the ‘slavery of sin’. They become free from old bad habits and have a new good habit. Have new life, new way of life and new hope and blessed life.
Hope you are such blessed person now, living with Christ.
If not yet, call on Jesus Christ in prayer to save you from sin and sin-control life.

Jesus - His Deity

 
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1)
 
"The deity of Jesus Christ, or His God nature, is well established in the New Testament. Some of the facts are:
 
01) He is called God by the Apostle John (above verse 1).
 
02) He is called God by the Apostle Thomas (John 20:28).
 
03) He is called God by the Father (Hebrews 1:8).
 
04) He claimed to be God, in that He was with the Father before creation (John 17:5).
 
05) He claimed to be God, in that He was before Abraham. "Abraham rejoiced to see my day . . . " (John 8:52-59).
 
06) He received worship, and only God is to be worshipped (Matthew 14:33). Angels refused worship (Revelation 22:8,9). Man refused worship (Acts 10:25,26).
 
07) He forgives sin (Mark 2:5-11). Only God can forgive sin.
 
08) He is creator and maker of all things (Colossians 1:16).
 
09) He is sustainer of all things (Hebrews 1:3). Only God can control the universe.
 
10) He claimed to have "all authority . . . in heaven and on earth" (Matthew 28:18). Only God has all authority.
 
11) He walked upon the blue waters of Galilee. The winds and the waves obeyed His command. He healed the sick and raised the dead. He gave sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf. He cast out demons and made the lame to walk. He turned water into wine, and fed five thousand men with the lunch of a lad."
