The Passion of our dear Jesus

 

1. The one giving self for god's will:
Our wishes stands as random based on our comforts and desires but god's will is unique and aimed at eternity.
When our comfort is squeezed in god's will we are in struggle..this will cause crushing but if we surrender it to god's plans,we are at peace of Jesus (Philippians 4:6) as he prayed and got heavenly help to accomplish god's plan
In power of love.

Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. 25 The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock. Mathew 7:24-25

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. ....by practicing love.(Colossians 3:15)
Fill in love of God,then you will be able to see him in everything you encounter or every persons you meet.

over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom  through psalms,  hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks  to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:14-17

2. Jesus answered him, “You would have no power over me unless it had been given you from above; therefore the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”John 19 : 11
When we stand for God, our authority is God and all that is allowed on us is only possible if God allows,so in times of crisis cling on to him .. without his knowledge nothing will happen to us and he knows it is for our eternal deposit.
Think of Jobs life.

3. Jesus comes out with crown of thorns and purple. Pilot said 'this is man' - people shouted crucify him...
Yes the man has to be crucified with all his flesh and desires and enslaved by sin.and new life will sprout. The wheat germ will decay and plant will rise. Life in spirit.

4. Jesus carries the cross
The world will make us bear crosses but Jesus has bore the head weight already,we just want to shoulder it surrendering our will to the cross. The cross that world inflicts is not in us but upon us..it is outside our body..let us by grace that Jesus won by conquering it for us, help us to boldly carry it upon us and not into us..and crucify our flesh and it desires.on it thus winning over death through Jesus passion and freeing us from.sins by his blood.
The message of cross is salvation.

Therefore Jesus also suffered outside the city gate in order to sanctify the people by his own blood.  Let us then go to him outside the camp and bear the abuse he endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we are looking for the city that is to come. Through him, then, let us continually offer a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that confess his name. Hebrews 13 : 12-15

5.Die to world on cross committing our soul to lord.

Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Having said this, he breathed his last.  Luke 23:46

let those suffering in accordance with God’s will entrust themselves to a faithful Creator, while continuing to do good.(1Peter 4:19)

Amen
