I am the light of the world.

Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”-John 8:12

Maybe in the our darkest hour we will discover our true faith for the light shines brightest in ultimate darkness.

God marked YOU out before the ages began...

God marked YOU out before the ages began, to be made just like Jesus:-
“to be conformed into the image of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ,
that He might be the firstborn among many brethren” Rom.8:29

That is an amazing thought.
Imagine God chooses YOU for such a gift
To be a reflection of him
To be in his family
I feel humbled at the thought of such a gift
And for such an Almighty God to notice me

You are brought with a price

Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.

-Matthew 27:54

I needed to go out so the postman came early
I needed to go out so God watched over my mum
I needed to get some work done so God kept the queue to  a minimum
I needed to carry some heavy boxes to the car so God kept the rain away
I needed to travel home so God kept the traffic down
I needed to get home so God held the storm until I got home
Its not only the grand things God takes care of...
For a grand price he gave it all
So you would not need to worry of anything large or small

Philippians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus

Philippians 2:5


"Your attitude (or mind in the KJV) should be the same as that of Christ Jesus."

Jesus came to give His life as a sacrifice for sin. But many portions of His life were for the express purpose of giving us an example by which to live. With all the power of the Universe at His command, He humbled Himself and demonstrated the mind and attitude of a servant; "The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve" (Matthew 20:28).

To be a mind of a servant is being more the thinking in a sub servant manner. It is to be humble and be of  service to others. Each day we face situations where people who are what we consider of a lower level to us in terms of knowledge or skills. Some times it is hard to bring ourselves to their level to appreciate the world from their side. Every day we struggle with ourselves to live up to this ideal. It is definitely not an easy walk.

Psalm 105:4 Seek the Lord and his strength...

Seek the Lord and his strength;
Seek his face continually;
Psalm 105:4

Now for something a little differrent

What do you see in Jesus's face ?

Romans 6:2-4 "We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer"

Romans 6:2-4


"We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."

The weight of sin weighs heavy. The only way to lift this burden is to pass it to God and gain forgiveness. Do this and gain a new life. A new start without past baggage.

A great price was paid to redeem us. It is for us to recognise this gift and take up this opportunity for a new life.

Things you can learn from the Bible

Sometimes there are subtle things we can learn from the Bible.

A boy approached his father who was a minister and asked him "Dad can I use the car ?" The father replied "Sure once you have improved your grades, read the bible more and cut your hair."

Few weeks later the boy approached his dad again and asked "Dad can I use the car ?"
The father replied "I'm very proud of you, your grades have improved tremendously and I noticed you were reading the Bible more. Only thing is you still did not cut your hair"

The son replied "Dad, when I read the Bible, I noticed that most of the people had long hair, Moses, Elijah, Absalom even Jesus has long hair"
 His father replied "Yes and did you noticed that most of them walked every where !"

1 Corinthians 11:14, "Doth not even nature itself teach you that if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?" 

God's wonderous way...

Was wondering around youtube and discovered this wonderous testimony. There are a lot of debates on God's love and what more then the forgiveness of someone who is not a Christian ...yet.

A most amazing testimony which depicts God's love and mercy. View this only if you have an open mind.
