paradigm shift

As a teacher of the Law in Jewish community I always meticulously did what my law demanded. What my Torah taught me. And I made sure I taught the common man too.
But this man has been different. He taught with authority. As if He is from God. Why is He different?
We taught an eye for an eye, a hand for a hand. But He teaches to show the other cheek as well.
We taught love your father and mother, your neighborhood and your friend. Love your God is what we taught. But He says love your enemy.
We taught do not commit adultery. He tells do not look lustfully at a woman.
We taught do not murder. He says do not be angry and not call another one Raca.
We taught , be in important places, projecting yourself especially in synagogues be in the most prominent places to worship YHWH. But He says give importance to others.
We taught to give heavy alms and God will bless you. He says that poor widow who gave two shekels gave more than the other one who gave a bag full.

How has He got the power to heal so many lepers. And did you hear of the parlaytic in Bethsheba? They say he was there for the past 37 years. And now he walks.
The evil spiritted are walking sane now.
Even Lazarus. Can you believe? He was dead. And this man goes to his tomb and calls him by name. And even though he was rotten for three days, Lazarus walks out in flesh and bones! I mean who is He?

But Caiaphas says these are all gimicks. He says He is trying to fool. And that He is driving out these demons through Beelzebub. But actually how can a kingdom divided against itself stand? Caiaphas hates this man and he is prejudiced. He says man cannot forgive our sins. But He claims He comes from the heaven. He claims He is the Messiah we are waiting for.
And now Caiaphas has plotted fervently to trap Him. He got hold of one of His friends called Judas, who always had his eyes on the purse. And for thirty silver coins he has agreed to jilt Him.
Even Pilate said He couldn't find anything wrong in Him. And I was there when he washed his hands. ( They say his wife is This man's follower now).
And they have now sentenced Him to the most gruesome death. And never have I heard of being whipped and slashed and then sentenced for crucifixion. And can u imagine, the cross usually weighs almost like a man and sometimes even more. And He had to carry that heavy cross through the streets of Jerusalem. People mocking Him. Crying for Him.
Does this man really deserve this? I have thought always that He hasn't committed any sin. Then why does YHWH allow it? The Lord should have easily intervened. Just like He gave strength to Samson, like Gideon, like splitting the Red sea.
Now I'm standing in Golgotha. Skulls of all those criminals are scattered all around. Does He deserve it? I'm perplexed!
Like me many know that there was no sin in Him. But none of us dared to open our mouth for Caiaphas has threatened us. But I don't know why He did not open His mouth to defend Himself. To justify that He did nothing wrong. He kept quiet. But all through on the cross He kept talking to God. He kept calling Him Father. Man! There is a true man. I presume He has a genuine reason for doing this.
I couldn't look on. I couldn't see Him dying. I felt I have done something terribly wrong. I have sinned against the Lord.
The Torah teaches me to offer a sin offering if I have committed a sin. Tomorrow is Sabbath. A day of rest. So if  I don't do it today. I can't bear the weight of this sin for three days. I have to rush. 
I'm getting back home to get my young lamb that I should offer.
One hour later I'm infront of the altar to offer the sin offering. Contrite as I am. Heavy hearted as I am I lay my hands on the lamb and the priest slaughters the Lamb. As I'm waiting for my turn. I see the sky gets darkened. The thunders roll. The sun is darkened. I have never seen this. And with a huge roar the curtain seperating the holy place and the most holy place splits apart.
Awestruck. I can't move my hands. My jaws drop. Can't utter a word. There is a lump in my throat. What is happening. Now people can just barge into the most Holy place.
As I'm wondering what to do with my sacrifice. I hear a strong but soft sound from the most Holy place. I could see no one. But the sound was quiet evident." It is finished"
And also I hear the same voice calling out my name saying there is no need of any more sacrifice. It is all done.

Now i realize, He was indeed Messiah! He came to die as a sacrifice. For me. And what Nicodemus had been saying is true. Born again is not of physical birth. It's something more something deep. Something renewing. Something made new inside. 
Is this what He promised of changing my heart of stone to a heart of flesh?

For you

They began to spit ------ Beat him with their fists ----- Some slapped him, jeering Matt:26:67-68 It would be humiliating to be spat upon the face. His face would have been fully red out of bruise. A racoon eye probably. It is menial to be made fun off - more menial when people make fun of you disbelieving what you claim or what you really are. Matt:27:26 Jesus was flogged with a lead tipped whip  Skin might have shredded to pieces, pieces of muscles torn away, splurting blood everywhere. Pain unable to be described in words. Psalm:129:3 The plowers plowed upon my back. Hematomas everywhere. Anaemic because of the blood loss. Internal organs lacerated. Excruciating pain from the tip of the hair to the toe. Dehydrated. Stinking. Stripped naked and made to walk through the streets in front of the ones you loved, the ones who loved you. Thorns on His brow. Nails driven through the median nerve. Struggling to breath hanging on the cross. He has to pull Himself up to expand ...

Not my will, but yours - a poem

Yes, Jesus was distressed and anguished too He was also grieved to the point of death So it is okay, dear one to be frustrated  It might not be as grievous as that of Jesus, but it's fine. But how Jesus handled, that is a lesson for us He did not over react. He did not brood over. He did not vent it over. He did not blame Himself He just prayed - not my will, but yours. How you handle your stress makes you stronger and bolder Either you succumb and grow weaker But face it in faith, and you will grow stronger. Equipping you to face the next one. Ultimate purpose is to be transformed into His likeness Live as Jesus lived. Do as Jesus did. Here how did He handle stress and anguish? Not my will, but yours He prayed.

Endure

Matt:24:13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Though Jesus says this immensely positive and hopeful statement with relation to eschatology and about tribulation saints, it is something we the pretribulation saints should always remember  Whether you believe in premillenialism, amillenialism or postmillenialism, this statement of Jesus always holds true. And faith is extremely quintessential to endure. Hope is something that comes out of your faith that enables you to endure. Hard times will come, testing times will come. Persections will come, earthquakes and war will come, sicknesses will come, problems in relationship will come, unexpected setbacks will come. But endure till the end. Hold fast. Do not worry for I am with you is His promise. And He will be with you. He will give you strength to endure. For endurance as I said is a hopeful word. It is not based on any eutopian idea. But it is based on the fact that God is living and true. He said He has p...

Coming back

Matt:24:37-51 When the Son of Man returns In those days When the Son of Man comes The Lord is coming The Son of Man will come If the Master returns and finds The Master will put The Master will return unannounced and unexpected  The owner of the whole universe, the Master, has Himself announced that He is one day coming back again. To reclaim. To reward. It is foolish to think He is not. It is utterly foolish to think there is no such master. It is foolish to sit unprepared. Because Jesus Himself has said that He is coming back. There is no ifs there. The only if that we find here is that - if the Master finds... Coming is certain. When you see earthquakes, when you see wars, when you see false Messiahs and false prophets, be assured that He is coming back.   These are signs that His coming back is near. Whether you believe it or not. Whether you want to accept it or not. Reinstate with Him, while there is yet time. Before it is too late. Image credit: https:/...

Silence

I am often amazed by Jesus' silence on the cross. For all the accusations and false testimonies, how could he keep quiet.  There was no " I never said that" or " "for whom am I doing this, why should I go through this for them" or "why don't you understand". Why can't I keep quiet when falsely accused or pointed fingers at? Why should I justify? Will that bring about a change in the situation? Will they stop accusing? Why do you want to defend? More or less because of the pride. To protect our own self. By defending ourself we think our tarnished image would be protected.  Learning from Jesus' example is a difficult thing to do. Let the accusers say whatever. As long as you are a child of God. As long as you are loved by Him. As long as you are His beloved. Be secure in His love.

The Parable of the ten Bridesmaids

Matt:25:1-13 The foolish ones were not ready with the oil. The wise ones also slept off, but they had the oil.  What has been told about Him, beforehand has been proved right. The same book says He is coming back. And when He comes back, will He see you waiting and ready with the oil of Holy Spirit; the oil of faith. Shouldn't the wise ones have shared their oil with the others? Isn't that what Christianity teaches to selflessly share. It doesn't work that way at the last hour when He comes. You have to have your own oil. The wise ones job is to tell the others about the need of the oil when the bridegroom will some day come, in an unexpected time, the need for faith in Jesus before it is too late. The choice is yours. Whether to be on the wise side or the foolish side. Would you keep oil for yourselves before He comes. If not, you would be called foolish, you would be labelled not ready, the door will be closed to you. Do not be foolish. Do not be on the unread...

Hymn

Matt:26:30 Then they sang a hymn and went out to the Mount of Olives  Immediately after the Last Supper. Immediately after the heart breaking truth disclosure that the Son of man is going to be betrayed by one of His own friends and He is going to be butchered. Immediately after the declaration of the remembrance of His death. Immediately after the joyous remembering of the Passover. They sang a hymn. Singing songs is an integral part of a Christian's life. How often are you in a situation of not feeling like praying, but you sing a song and your mood is lifted up to praise Him. Many a times, you wake up with a song and it stays with you through the day and that would be exactly what you required for the day. A long lost memory of a song comes back like a bolt from the blue and that is exactly what you needed. Listening to songs, just for the melody or harmony, singing in four parts or with accompaniment of instruments are all soothing and mood lifting. Very often we br...
