TO SEE , AND SOMETIMES UNKNOWINGLY DECEIVED FOR THE STRONG – HEARTED 02 / 01 / 13
THE CROSS WHICH BOUGHT US LIFE WHENEVER WE SEE A CROSS WE SOMETIMES THINK BACK TO CALVARY WHERE THEY NAILED OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST TO THE TREE … THROUGH HISTORY MANY HAVE HAD A OBSESSION WITH THE SHAPE OF A CROSS … SOME USED THE SIGN OF THE CROSS AS A EMBLEM ON THEIR CLOTHES TO STEAL AND KILL IN THE NAME OF CHRISTIANITY… MANY SAY THAT A CROSS THAT IS UPSIDE – DOWN A A SATINIST SIGN … BUT IN FACT ALL CROSSES ARE THE SAME …IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW IT IS SCEW OR BENT … THE CROSS IN CHRISTIANITY IS TO SHOW DEATH … SPECIFIC THE DEATH OF JESUS …
SOME DRAW A SIGN OF A CROSS IN THE AIR OR WITH FINGER OR WATER ON SOMEBODY … MANY BUILDINGS ARE BEAUTIFULLY ARAYED WITH SIGNS THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED … THE BIBLE NEVER MENTIONED US TO USE CROSSES EVER … IT SAYS : TAKE UP YOUR CROSS … WHICH MEANS YOU MUST CARRY YOUR BURDENS … AND PRAY THAT GOD WOULD HELP YOU … THE CROSS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SALVATION … I REMEMBERED THAT WE USED TO HELP BEND LEAVES FOR A CERTAIN EVENT IN OUR CHURCH’S CALENDER … BE CERTAIN THAT MANY TRADITIONS AND CUSTOMS IS JUST A EXTENTION OF WAY TO SEEK GOD … BUT THE TRUE WAY IS TO FOLLOW THE BIBLE IN TRUTH … FOR MANY SCHOLARS WILL OFCOURSE ASK WHY MANY CUSTOMS AND RITUALS ARE NOT ABOLISHED, WHILE THEY WERE CLEARLY IN CONTRADICTION TO WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS …
THAT POSES THE QUESTION THAT I ASKED MY OWN FAMILY , WHY DO YOU GO ON DOING THIS THAT YOU DO YEAR IN AND OUT … THEN THEY WOULD JUST FROWN THEIR FACES , AND SAY : WE HAVE BEEN DOING THESE THINGS FOR SO LONG, IT HAS BECOME A PART OF WHO WE ARE , AND HOW WE LIVE … BUT DON’T YOU WANT TO DO THE THINGS ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE ? … SOME STILL HAVE TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER AFTER TWENTY YEARS … IT MAKES THINGS REALLY CLEAR TO ME … THE LORD,GOD WAS RIGHT WHEN HE ASKED THE PEOPLE … “ WHO DO YOU WANT TO SERVE ? ME OR YOUR OWN …? AS I WALKED A PATH WITH THE LORD, GOD, IT IS INCREDIBLE HOW MUCH UNDERSTANDING AND PATIENCE HE HAS WITH US AS PEOPLE …BECAUSE HE MADE US OFCOURSE …
FOR HIM EACH DAY IS NEW … A CHANCE TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT … HE REMOVES OUR SIN SO FAR AWAY FROM US … HE OPENS OUR EYES EVERY MORNING TO EXPERIENCE LIFE … HE IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR OF OUR HEARTS … WILL WE LET HIM IN … THIS IS A PERSONAL AFFAIR BETWEEN US AND THE LORD,GOD … NOBODY CAN HELP US WITH THIS … THE HOLY SPIRIT OFTEN VISITS US TO TRY US TO CHOOSE THE WAY OF LIFE … REAL FREEDOM AND PEACE OF MIND …
