Take Self Out and Look at God's Way Of Perspective
Take Self Out and Look at God's Way Of Perspective
We tend to do things to satisfy ourselves with lustful wants, instead of thinking of what God wants us to do .
This world has a bad habit of doing the wrong thing without thinking about what God might say about what they are doing. We want to worry about the consequences later on in life but not right now, as long we get what we want.
Jesus went through alot of torture to save our behinds to act like we don't care about what God says about our wrongful actions. I'm sorry for using the the word behind but some of us don't understand upper level talk, so I have to talk down to those that would understand, now this does not apply to all of you, but to those who don't really give a care!! And I almost used that other word, but lets try to keep this clean a little.
Most of us have forgotten that Jesus was sent down here to die for our sins and we act like we don't care because its a new age, that was thousand years ago; but folks we must know that God loved us so much to save us he sent his only son to die for our sins, and our lives to be renewed .
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him." John 3:16-17
In Gethsemane; where the full burden of sin begins to be laid upon Christ and when the reality of the sacrifice towers over Jesus.As Jesus begins to bend and hunch under the burden of sin the Father’s keen eyes well with tears. Jesus collapses to the ground pleading for a way
Jesus collapses to the ground pleading for a way out for another option.
Yes Jesus wanted to get out of this , he wanted to find another way of saving us, but our father said he must go through to save us, our sorry selves., but God loves us to let this happen to Jesus.
Then he said to them, "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will." Matthew 26:38-39
It is one thing to stand helplessly by knowing that you don’t have power to stop something, but to hold all the power in the universe, and stand by is something I will never be able to fully understand. The Father, with heart breaking, had to stand by as the angels waited for the command to intervene. He had to stand and do nothing but listen to His beloved Son’s cries for deliverance.
Jesus was human. He wouldn’t have been human if he didn’t want out. There is nothing wrong with saying "God this hurts and this is difficult." "Is there any other way we can do this?" "Please Lord I really don’t want to go through this." Yet we must not stop there and say, "that is it, you are simply asking too much of me." I know what the Bible says but I will not do it. I know what you are asking me to do but I will not do it. It is too hard!"
But Jesus finishes with "Not my will but your will be done." If Jesus himself submitted to the fathers will how much more should we.
But the separation God must have experienced is beyond me. Can you imagine being with someone, not to mention getting along and loving someone for eternity? Then being separated completely and totally. I hear stories of couples who are married 50, 60 years and then one of them dies. The other one then soon follows because they can’t handle the separation. Even I was torn apart from my divorce of 18 years of marriage, it felt like a death, so I do know how God felt to step back while his son was been ridicule and lied on and tortured. They are empty inside. God has spent eternity with His Jesus, never separated, never apart. They are always connected in spirit mind and thought, always connected and then completely severing that connection. But God was willing to endure separation from his Son that he could spend eternity with us and not be separated. Can you imagine as that day creeped on? We read that a thousand years with God is as a day.
God just wants us to love one another and do right, and not just think about ourselves and not to worry about the hard times we are going through, he will take care of us, like always in previous hard situations that we have endured,that God has taken care of the situation for us. God will always come through for us, but we must act the part he expects of us to act, and thats with love and not hatred towards others.
"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Matthew 6:25
Prayer: Loving Father, I thank you for the certain knowledge that nothing shall be able to separate me from your love which I have found in Christ Jesus, my Lord. In fact, I am more than a conqueror through your Son, Jesus, who loved me enough to die for me. My heart's desire, Father, is to love you with all my heart, soul, and mind, and to love other people as I love myself. teach me your more excellent way. As I pray, I sense your love being poured forth in my heart by the Holy Spirit who dwells within me. I love you, Lord, because I know you first loved me. In Jesus name ,Amen.
