What did you do with my Son Jesus Christ?"

One of the member of "Equipping Christians Group" posted this question and this question made me to write something to reflect.

What did you do with my Son Jesus Christ?"

We just had the mission conference held in our church for 4 days period and during the conference I personally met one of the guest speakers Dr. Thompson from Cleveland. He was about 75 years of age. Just imagine even at his age, he still has the will to preach with tremendous energy. I truly enjoyed listening to him. He seems to be very knowledgeable with a great sense of humor. He made a lot of jokes during the conference. That is very remarkable considering at the same time, he is also physically ill from cancer. That tells me about the man and his convictions. What I really love about him most is when he said how he really likes Philippines more specifically the place where he lived at in San Pedro Laguna. He mostly visited the places where the Muslims are in Mindanao.

Dr. Thompson mentioned how this world has forgotten about Jesus Christ and even disregarded the ways of his words – it seems as if people have been too pre-occupied with each of his/her own selfish things that they don’t want to hear anything more to do about Jesus and instead fills their time with entertainment news about Hollywood, or of what is new in the fashion world. We now live in a world where “everyone for his or her own self “ philosophy.

People have put fun as their priority in life and they don’t want anything or anyone that could get in a way of that or to put limit to it. But the tragedy of it is that when in time of crisis, people don’t take responsibility for their decision and that is when they start to remember Jesus - that is to take the blame for their action. That is so sad to even imagine but it is true and it is happening at this very moment, somewhere somehow.

How I wish there is something that I can do. I want to make a difference no matter how insignificant it may be. We all have heard about how a certain virus can spread rapidly from people to people, city to city, even from state to state. Wouldn’t it be great if we can do the same thing but instead of spreading virus that kills, we spread the words that gives new meaning to living.

If a simple smile can truly be contagious, then I’ll try to smile more often and maybe even from that tiniest of step, it can get us closer to the bigger ones. Jesus did say in Matthew17:20 “ If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to the mulberry tree, Be uprooted and planted in the sea, and it will obey you.”

Nothing will be impossible for you.

Lord Let Me

People are longing to learn of our Saviour
Children are growing not knowing he cares

Lord let me tell them about your compassion
Lord where can I be used

Lord let me serve
Lord let me follow
Give me a place and the for most to fill

Teach me to serve
Teach me to follow
Use me to do your will

Lord let me serve where ever you need me
Make me a vessels through which you can flow
Give me a passion to work for your glory
Lord where can I be used.

Spirit of Truth

This is God's Spirit, who enables people to clearly understand his Word as they read it. It also guides people toward wisdom and holiness.

John 15:26 But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

Thankful Heart

I praise and worship God coz of the confidence I have that my Salvation is real. I thank Him for all the blessings He bestowed upon me, and I thank Him for the eternal life He has given me.

Here's my hymnal song for tonite.


Count Your Blessings

When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings name them all one by one
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Chorus:
Count your blessings name them one by one;
Count your blessings see what God hath done;
Count your blessings name them one by one
Count your blessings see what God hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your blessings every doubt will fly,
And you will be singing as the days go by.

Repeat chorus*

When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your blessings money can-not buy
Your reward in heaven nor your home on high.

Repeat chorus*

So a – mid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged God is over all;
Count your many blessings - blessings angels will attend
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.

Repeat chorus*

Ephesians 1:6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

The 3 Pillars of Christian Faith

This journey of Christian life, I trust by looking these 3 fundamental pillars of Christianity together "Christ deity and incarnation, "the reliability of Scripture" and "the resurrection of Christ --- it captured my view a renewed vision of “who Christ is” and why he came to earth - I believe also that I will catch a fresh understanding of how reliable God’s word is and why He so carefully preserved it for me.

This is also a big challenge for me with an optimistic perspective on life and for my future as I explore the reality of Christ’s death, the Scripture and His resurrection.

As I have examined my faith in God, it convicted me with these 3 major questions in life. I believe, it answers all my questions of life – tonight, I pray that would do the same thing to you too.

Who Am I? And person of Jesus

Most of us may be asking the same question, that question “Who Am I?” slumbers in every individual heart. I may not be asking it in those three words, but my heart is seeking a vital relational connection to my Lord Jesus Christ.

I really want to know the value of who I really am. I really want to know the value of how to be loved and accepted.

Astonishingly, I finally found the answer to my question, it is also the key that will correct my distorted faith about God – it leads me to the truth about Jesus Christ and it kept my faith strongly at ease – that He is God who became flesh and lived amongst us.

Ephesians 2:13 But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.

They are more overwhelming evidence of Christ’s deity though it is not only sufficient to convince our mind – especially those people who are skeptics. But if we are going to go deeper and study the deity of Jesus Christ – it is amazingly meaningful to individual especially for Christian like myself who is truly willing to study the truth within and enables to discover the true identity – “who I truly am?”


Why Am I Here? And the Word of God

As a Christian, I fear sometimes that the culture will somehow capture me to change my personal view about Christianity – I live in a multi-cultural country of Canada, working with people with different belief.

Living to a country and exposed to a place where people are into illicit sex, illegal drug abuse, alcohol use, dishonesty, violence, and host of other things that broke my heart and ruin people lives.

I want to live protected from such thing and see myself happy, productive and living in a godly way – praying that this kind of culture will not affect my Christian life.

Now, I asked this question, “Why Am I here? – most of the answer sprung up from distorted beliefs about the truth - but I trust and believe that there is only one answer to my question, an answer that leads me to conviction about the reliability of God’s Word, “the Bible”.

I continually studying the abundance of evidences of the Bible’s reliability and convinced that only the Word of God is an accurate and true reflection of the God who desires the relationship with us – understanding this is what justify of reliable means into our lives – and how this Word will lead the individual heart to a godly living – this will discover our God-given purpose in life.

Romans 5:2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.


Where Am I going? And the Resurrection of Christ

It doesn’t take me long to realize how life is full of disappointments, full of trials, and heartaches. This is an unavoidable conclusion from us.

But how are we going to handle this obstacle in life – far too often these obstacles turn to despondency and despair – we may become resentful and angry every time something has happened into our lives. It is far easy for us – especially if we live in the high risk and cruel world.

This third fundamental question become even more pressing to me and may be even to everyone especially for Christian - “Where Am I going?”

I believe and trust and without a doubt that there is only one answer to my question – and this tied into one of the three pillars of Christianity - the resurrection of Christ.

When I begun my study, and put my heart into looking at the evidences of the resurrection of Christ – I faithfully discovered the truth in regards to this historical event – and more than that, it answered my question that the resurrection is not only objectively true but it also profoundly meaningful particularly to any kind of disappointments in life – and strongly convicted me and lead me to the truth and the meaning of resurrection of Christ can actually changed my entire outlook on life and provide me with the assurance to “eternal life”.

I believe this is also a destiny to every Christian to change their entire outlook on life and can determine to face life and death, good or evil, victory or difficulty with a spirit of gratitude, optimism and of course the courage to know Jesus Christ.

I am sure Jesus Christ is saying the same thing to you – as Christian, we may acknowledge him as our Saviour, but have we examined the evidences of our faith?

You and I may have made the decision to trust God in our daily lives, but have we grasped the objective truth and relational meaning of our Christian faith?

I will leave the same questions tonight and thought - these may occur to you and you maybe asking yourself the same thing that I already asked and answered.

John 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
