T he only good news that we ought to know and remember is that Jesus Christ had already won the war against sin and death. He has made it possible for us to join Him in the afterlife. All we need now to do is accept Him as He is. God is alive today and it may be sometimes be difficult to see this. The world and its demonic nature has still made it look like that only worldly things matter and that the ultimate goal of each one is to achieve their own personal happiness. This is the biggest lie of all, that we should do all to make us happy. Individual happiness at the expense of someone else is the biggest deception of all. The truth is, our lives are never really about us. It is ultimately about God and about others. It is about how you can provide and give joy even at our own expense.

He follows up with how a football will be worth only $15 in his hands but it will be worth millions in a Peyton Manning's hands. A slingshot in our hands would make it just a toy but it on a King David's hand, and it becomes a giant slayer. So it depends on whose hands you place them. And he finishes with saying that five loaves and two fishes will only be enough to feed a handful of people in our hands but you place it on Jesus' hands and he can feed thousands. A nail in our hands and we probably can build some furniture but in Jesus' hands, 2-3 nails, and He saves the whole of humanity. Life's problems in our hands will be hard and difficult but we should place it on Jesus' hands and he will make it light and easy. |
