REVEALING JESUS

Most of us wish to reveal Jesus through our life. Even though we desire to reveal Jesus, we find it very difficult to do so. In Bible if we see the beginning chapters of Matthew, we read that through Mary, Jesus came into this world. Jesus was revealed to this world through Mary. I want to share with you two characteristics which are needed to reveal Jesus through our lives.

1.      Being filled with Holy Spirit (Last part of Matthew 1:20)

“.....for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.”

                                    If you have to reveal Jesus through your life the first thing you have to do is to be filled with Holy Spirit. If you have a purpose in your life to reveal Jesus, make sure that the purpose which was conceived in you is through Holy Spirit. Without the filling of Holy Spirit you can never reveal Jesus in your life.

2.      Knew not the world (Matthew 1:25)

“And knew her not till she had brought forth her first born son: and he called His name Jesus.”

           

            The second important thing is that you should not know the world.

Knowing the world in the sense you should not possess any worldly behaviour in your life. Jesus was revealed through Mary coz she does not know Joseph. Similarly Jesus will be revealed through you if you knew not the world. May God give His abundant grace in your life to reveal Jesus through your life.

ONE LIFE – LETS LIVE FOR GOD

Few days back I heard from one of the person whom I know that his young cousin has died three days before his marriage cos of heart attack. Few months back a young eighteen year old guy whom I know died in an accident when he went for trekking with his friends. Even in the daily newspapers we read news about so many people dying in accident at a very small age. But we who are alive, we never take our life seriously. We always think that we have so many days to live. We postpone things thinking that we have tomorrow. We waste our precious life doing sinful things that displeased God. 

My dear young friends, you have to understand that life is not a cricket match that you have a chance again to play even when you lose a match. Life is not an exam that we can write again even once you fail. Then what is life? Life is a gift from God given to us to live for His glory.

My dear friend, live your life for God. You have only one chance. No more life will be given to you. If you have to get into eternal life which awaits you after this life, you must live this life for the glory of God alone. Don’t fail coz you won’t get another chance.

Ecclesiastes 12:1 says “Remember now your creator in the days of your youth...”

Also Ecclesiastes 12:13 says “.....Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is the whole duty of man”.

NO ONE CAN TOUCH YOU

1 PETER 2:9 “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people......”

            In America, a girl heard the above verse from the preacher who was preaching the message on a service. She was touched when she heard that, she was God’s own daughter and she belongs to Jesus. She surrendered her life completely to Jesus and began to walk so closely with Him.

            One day as she was walking on a lonely path after her college, a criminal who was observing her for so many days caught hold of her and put the knife in her neck with the desire of having a physical relation with her. As she understood his thought, she smiled at him and said “No one can touch me, I belong to JESUS”.

            As she repeatedly said this, he had freeze in the same position without moving his hand or anything. Soon the people who were walking informed the police and the police came and arrested him and also took the girl for filing the case.

            The police asked the criminal that they came only after certain minutes to the spot and what made him not to do anything wrongly to that girl in those minutes. Then the criminal told the police, “As soon as the girl said that no one can touch her because she belongs to JESUS, a divine power captured me and made me to freeze in the same position without doing any harm to her”.

            The girl with so much of joy in her heart told the police that it is the power of Jesus. My dear young people surrender your life to Jesus. You are God’s own chosen people. No one can touch you or your life because you belong to JESUS.
