Today, I would like to talk about Jesus Christ, our Savior and His love for His Father and us.

Jesus Christ spent His whole life on teaching us how our faith should look like. He took His time to teach people the Word of God. He healed a lot of people and provided them food in a miraculous way when it was needed. He lived with so much faith in God. He always did what His Father wanted Him to do and didn't doubt His decisions. When He was tempted, He didn't leave His side.

All He did on earth was good. He never sinned, but showed care and love to everyone. Even when a woman sinned, He told others to not throw rocks at her because of that. He knew that sinning isn't a good thing but still didn't treat her in a bad way but didn't let other people kill her.

He always trusted His Father. He spent a lot of time on praying and let the Lord use Him to fulfill the plans of His. Even when it was very hard for Him, He talked to God and told Him "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will". He trusted God and accepted His will.

Jesus loves us and His Father so much that He died for us, so that our sins can be forgotten once we repent. Jesus died in so much pain, but didn't lose faith. That's how much He loved God.

We should do just like Jesus taught us in Matthew 16:24 "If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow Me". Take up your cross (your problems, burden, worries, illnesses) and follow Him. Put your trust in God and ask the Holy Spirit to help you make the right choices that will bring you closer to the Kingdom of our Heavenly Father.

Life won’t always be easy, even for us Christians. As a matter of fact, Jesus tells us the opposite—it’s going to be really hard! It won’t be perfect like some people assume until we’re with Him in Paradise. This applies to all who choose to believe in Him.

If the world didn’t except HIM, how the heck is it going to accept us?

“‘If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them the works no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’ (John 15:18-25)

In John 16, Jesus warns the disciples about the trials and troubles to come. Yet, He also reminds them of the joy He will bring them! Jesus reminds them He will send them the Holy Spirit. That they’ll be persecuted for believing in Him—because they persecuted HIM. He also told them that though they would grieve Him, He’d send them His Holy Spirit. He explained to them that unless He left (died for them) He wouldn’t be able to send The Advocate (His Holy Spirit).

The world was wrong and still is, by condemning our Lord. He let the disciples (and us) know that His Spirit would enlighten us and lead us to the Truth.

Everything He told them applies to us as believers as well. So, the persecuting and peace that was promised to them is also promised to us through our faith in the Lord, our God!

“All this I have told you so that you will not fall away. They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me. I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you, but now I am going to him who sent me. None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’ Rather, you are filled with grief because I have said these things. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: about sin, because people do not believe in me; about righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. I  have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.’” (John 16:1-15)

Jesus also mentioned He had more to say but the disciples wouldn’t have been able to bear it—this too also applies to us today. There’s a lot we cannot yet even begin to comprehend. Truths we can’t yet know.

But we can take heart for our Lord has saved us and set us free!

“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)

And He is always with us through it all!

“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” (Matthew 28:20)

In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only SON into the world, so that we might LIVE through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent HIS Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

In His Image

God made us in His Image. We stepped out of perfection and yet He still gave (and gives) us a second chance to know Him and to join Him again in perfection forever, through His Only Son, Jesus Christ.
