Blog of Clint Clarke To be loved by GOD is to be loved like a father loves his children. God loved Jesus with all his heart and Jesus tells us that God loves us like he loves Jesus. A fathers love for his child is strong,and he will always do everything in his power to protect his child.Jesus tells us that God loves us, and that means that He will protect us against all evil and we shall live forever. I firmly believe that Jesus believes that lowly people are valuable. Jesus believes that all people are valuable, but a lowly person who gives all that they own to the church is valued more by Jesus as they are giving all of themeselves to God. A person who has great wealth, but only gives a small portion to the church, is also valued by Jesus, but not as much as he values someone who gives all that they own. At the end of the day we need to realise one thing, and that is that Jesus values everyone!! I think "compassion" is something that must be shown. I do not think that a person is compassionate if they do not share their feelings with whoever they are feeling compassion for. Being compassionate is being able to relate to whatever pain, grief or unhappiness another person is feeling. You must be able to show that person that you are truly there to help them through whatever they are suffering from.By being compassionate you are showing that person that you will do anything for them. Jesus was born a normal man and lived the life of a normal person. His family lived just as any other family. He also experienced the same hardships and had to follow the same laws as everyone else. It seems strange that the Son of God would have to live like this. I believe that the reason for this was to prove to us that although Jesus was God's Son, he was born a normal man and experienced the same hardships as all men and women. But, although he was born a normal man, and lived the life of a normal man, He was no normal man. He was free from all sin. Jesus was born into this world a normal person to live the life of a normal man.This he did, until such time that he was told by God that He was now to change his ways, and was now to show the people that he was the Son Of God. He spread the Word of God and as a result was persecuted and ultimately crucified. His death was not in vain as He died so that our sins may be forgiven. He is our friend and wants to live through us, and we must live our life with him. There is nothing that Jesus will not do for us, as long as we ask him to help us. Although He is always with us, we need to speak to him daily and to ask him for his help and protection. Jesus is our Friend, and our Saviour. |
