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.
