In Gethsemane there is the
joining(dissolution) of human wishes with Gods wish and plans. Jesus
Christ sweated blood, this shows the extent of stress that Jesus
suffered in this joining. The human mentality to live according to
their own selfish wishes of this world is being defeated with
struggle to come in the way of Gods plans and wishes. It is this
joining that led to the great way of salvation. The great plan of God
to save the entire humanity from the clutches of the worldly sins is
getting accomplished by the great submission of Christ Jesus as a
living sacrifice.
Jesus who lived according to the plan
of Father Almighty is the best model that is set by our Father for
showing us His great plan for us. There are lots of souls for Him to
save from the influence of Satan and his powers, for accomplishing
this mission, the souls should co-operate with Father. The souls are
sent to earth for a period of living and freeing themselves from the
influence of the satan who is trapping us with the attractive worldly
lusts. Father in heaven wishes each souls to live like Jesus and
submit like Him so that we souls can also be joined to the great
salvation mission for living eternally with Lord. Father in heaven
has given us the freedom of choice, it is here that satan traps us.
We may even never know that we are being snatched off by the worldly
powers. Hence while living in this world we should be continually in
the protection of our Lord through the guidance of the Holy Spirit
that He has given us.
We souls who are sent to earth by our
Father is destined a duty each and our plan of salvation has already
been charted out by our Creator.
It is said in Psalms 139:13-17
“For
you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
the days that were formed for me,
when as yet there was none of them.
God
know us before we were formed in our mothers womb. It is His plan of
salvation of each of the souls that brought us to this world. We must
live according to this plan, we must use our freedom of choice to
choose according to the plans of our Creator. It is then the mission
of our life will be successful. A wrong decision in a case that goes
according to our selfish motives will block the plan of our Lord for
us. Hence in each time we must submit our situation to the Lord and
ask for his guidance, so that we never go wrong by blocking the
marvelous ways of our Lord for us, giving a chance for the evil to
snatch us off from Gods hands. The evil powers roaming in this world
are waiting for a gap to snatch the Gods Children from Fathers hands
and to lead them into total destruction, this filthy activity of the
evil will go on until Jesus comes the second time to wipe off the
evil forever. Until this time the evil can play the tricks, but we
must be vigilant, we must be always under the Lords protection to
live in this mighty world so that our soul remain safe for our Lord
to join His eternal kingdom.
Our
Father gave us Jesus to show us how to live, Hebrews 5:7-9 says,
“While
Jesus lived on earth he prayed to God, asking for help from the one
who could save him from death. He prayed to God with loud cries and
tears. And his prayers were answered because of his great respect for
God. Jesus was the Son of God, but he still suffered, and through his
sufferings he learned to obey whatever God says. This made him the
perfect high priest, who provides the way for everyone who obeys him
to be saved forever.”
We
must also live like the same, the world will inflict sufferings but
with full submission, respect and love for our Father we should
continually pray and give our lives for His will to be done, His
plans are not for our harm but for our good, for the everlasting
happiness and eternal life with salvation in Gods House.
“It
was the law itself that caused me to end my life under the law. I
died to the law so that I could live for God. I have been nailed to
the cross with Christ. So I am not the one living now—it is Christ
living in me. I still live in my body, but I live by faith in
the
Son of God. He is the one who loved me and gave himself to save me.”
-Galatians 2:19-20
Lord
in this Good Friday, let us remember Jesus who showed us how to live
in this world and who suffered for our sins and was crucified for our
salvation. Even being pure, He took the cross of sins for our sake,
we know the pain of a heart who is being persecuted even being
faultless, by taking this pain into our heart, Lord let us be able to
join our wishes to Your plans so that we can be with You in Our
everlasting house. Protect us while we live in this world by guiding
us through Holy Spirit. Amen.
"We have been made right with God because of our faith. So we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through our faith, Christ has brought us into that blessing of God’s grace that we now enjoy. And we are very happy because of the hope we have of sharing God’s glory. And we are also happy with the troubles we have. Why are we happy with troubles? Because we know that these troubles make us more patient. And this patience is proof that we are strong. And this proof gives us hope. And this hope will never disappoint us. We know this because God has poured out his love to fill our hearts through the Holy Spirit he gave us."- Romans 5:1-5
Let us live with Christ in the way of cross.
