Hi readers! It has been awhile since I have written anything on this blog, and here I am back again! This reminds me to share with you, that Jesus is gone for awhile and will be back in no time! So get yourself ready and hurry to the people who needs to know God and let them know how important knowing God is! Huff puff!
I wanna encourage you readers, that life is really meaningful, only if your focus is in God of course! =) The Bible says from John 4:13-14 "Jesus told the Samaritan woman, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.' " And O'Yes that's superbly true! You will never feel that emptiness inside of you when you live in God's eyes! :D
Let me start with the book of Acts, I was reading the book of Acts and there were a multitude of eye-opener for me, allow me to share it with you dear readers! =)
Do you know what the story of Jesus would be for all the people who thinks it's false? To them, they think it's a story, or perhaps it's a fairy-tale! To some of them, it would be like a great story once written by a great writer! And to others, they think it's some boring old story where we can learn lots of stuffs from! HOWEVER, the story of Jesus is REAL!! And the Bible records all the historical evidence of it! From Acts 1:3, it says "After Jesus' suffering, He showed Himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that He was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God." So based on this verse, at one point of time back in history, many people ACTUALLY SAW HIM!! And everything was so real! But how did something so real became a false story to other people? The answer is because most of them have refused to open their eyes to see! Most of them ignored the Bible, thinking that it's dangerous, and some people are led astray by other people who dislikes Christians! So ask yourself, what are the things you can do to help people know who our Christ Jesus really is! Will they believe if you told them? How would you do it? By proving it with the Bible! As for the verse Acts 1:3, this is one of several appearances of Jesus after His resurrection. More than 500 people saw Him in person after His death! God doesn't just expect us to believe some obscure, 2000-year old story; He gave us historical evidence to prove the story true! =)
Moving on to Acts 1:7, it says "Jesus said to them: 'It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by His own authority.' "
(Now what does this verse tells you? It tells that Jesus' Return is totally unexpected by everybody in this world! He will come like a thief in the night! People have been talking about Jesus' return (and the end of the world) since the day He left for heaven! At least a thousands of predictions have past! The fact is, though, no one knows the exact date when He's coming back! That's why it's a good idea to make sure that you're always ready for His return!) =)
Do you remember Peter? The guy who denied Jesus 3 times when He knew who Jesus was all along? Yup! He's that guy I'm gonna talk about! In the book of Acts 2:14, it writes "Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: 'Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say.' "
(Isn't that amazing!? A few weeks earlier, Peter denied Jesus 3 times! And now He's standing in front of a large group, preaching the Good News about him! What changed Him? Jesus' Holy Spirit of course! That same Spirit can give you the kind of courage God gave Peter...... if you will ask!) =)
Elevating to Acts 2:37, it says "When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, 'Brothers, what shall we do?' "
(Check out the way people responded to Peter's message! It's like something clicked inside them, and they suddenly realized how much they needed Jesus! Can you imagine anyone you know responding like that? You might be surprised how many people have the same kind of hunger, without even knowing it! They have no idea how much they need to hear about Jesus! Your words just might click with them and turn their hearts toward God! Be it long or short! Give it a try!) =)
From Acts 3:6, it says "Then Peter said, 'Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.' "
(Do you believe that you have direct access to Jesus' power? Do you live like you believe it? For instance, when you hear that someone is sick, do you pray for that person? Do you expect your prayers to make an actual difference in that person's life? Never ever underestimate the power of prayer!) =)
Well, here I have written for tonight, but I will be back to encourage you more!
Have a great and blessed day to you dear readers! May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with us all, in Jesus' Name, Amen! =)
