May 21, 2007 why did Jesus penalty for sinneed to include physical and emotional pain-why not just spiritual separation from GodI believe that the physical and emotional suffering that Jesus endured is what makes His death so unique. It stands out in the minds of man and also lets us know that He was wounded for our transgression and He was bruised for our iniquity, truly he bore our sorrow, and by His stripes we are made whole.I believe that was the true reason for it all. To stand out in our minds to make man hold on to his faith in the son of man who paid the price with his life. Spiritual separation would not have been as mind blowing as was Jesus emotional and physical suffering. It is seeing and understanding what Jesus physical and emotional suffering entailed that draws me to Him. His spiritual separation came later when He cried out to the Father. Just as it would with us, while we are on the earth we suffer emotionally and physically but our sin would lead us to the final result which is the separation from God |

May 04, 2007 Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandmentI believe that when something is new it is cherished, until the novelty wears off, however everytime we read that it is a New commandment, we are reminded of a Newness of love that is never allowed to run dry or never allowed to grow weary, it is always new, as God`s love is always new. We know that when we first fall in love we long to give of ourselves to the other person, in the same way, we are ready to give of ourselves to those who God commands us to love. Love holds no grudges, it is kind and gentle, we are to love one another without compromise, we have to forget past grievances and continue with God`s commandment of love. We are to love those who dishonor us, dispitefully use us, and remember that we need to reflect Christ in us, for the Bible says that if we only love those who love us, of what gain is it to us". But if we love those who hate us there is a reward. God gave His Son because He loved the world''man'', the same way we cannot keep love it has to be given. |

April 24, 2007 According to Jesus, what does it mean to be loved by God.The Bible teaches us that God is love, it also tells us that in John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that who so ever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.
God`s love is so great that He sent His Child ''Jesus'' to die for a world of sinners. As a parent i know that I am incapable of doing something so great for another person, but God did it for you and I. The only way that I can interpret what Jesus means is to say that the Love of God has no boundries, it reaches beyond the highest mountains, and flows through the lowest valleys, and there is still more than enough to fill the rest of the world. The ''Agape'' love of God should be evident in our lives, as we are ambassadors of Christ. |
