Stand Firm

When Jesus was on earth He healed many sick people, He did lot of good works, He preached, and He taught. He lived a perfect life. But He also spent good time with His disciples teaching them about the “Godly life”. He not only taught He lived. He told His disciples “If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love John 15:10, and what is His commandment? “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you” John 15:12. How He loved? He gave it all. He gave His life. That kind of love. Even in “John 14: 21 He says: Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them. He taught His disciple and He showed it to everybody. When one of the pundit of the law ask His what is the greatest commandment? His reply was every accurate. “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself Matthew 22: 37-39.

In today’s world though it is completely deferent. People have murdered the real definition of the “Love” And as the apostle Paul writes: The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ. II Corinthians 4: 4. They have lost the real meaning of “Love”. They will accept everything and everybody for “Love” But they do not want to understand the “Love of God”. Even though there are so many things that God has provide that people can understand but they don’t want to listen, they don’t want to see, they don’t want to understand. They are saying: I am loving it the way it is right now. If my life goes on smoothly, I don’t care what other people are doing. Let them marry whoever they want to. Let them kill whoever they want to, let them enjoy whichever way they want to.

But I am urging you all my fellow brothers and sisters who call themselves as “Disciples of God”.  I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling Ephesians 4:1. Do not be afraid. Do not be ashamed. Do not be worried. Do not be confused. Our Lord Jesus has said: If you obey my commandment you are my friend.

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. I Peter 5:8. Again I am urging you: Live the life of “Disciples of God”

May our Almighty Lord give you strength to “Stand firm”.
