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?

Dear Brother. Rest in peace. This life is small. Yet proved again. But you proved. Living for Christ alone matters. Trying to acquire skill  And to use your well earned medical knowledge For the poor and needy. Your words still ring in my ear. "We are alone there" Brother gone too soon. Leaving behind a legacy. Well done good and faithful servant. Enough is enough. Come back and enter the rest planned for you. In His bosom, the classic smile I can imagine. Your laughter will surely resound in heaven today. There is rejoicing in heaven  For a son has come back home. Fulfilling his Father's will for him Why should earth be gloomy?  For he is home.

His humble dwelling

Jn:1:18 No one has ever seen God, but God the One and only, who is at the Father's side has made Him known. Jesus' sole purpose of life was to make the Father known to the people who forgot Him. Only a bridge could do that. Only God Himself would know Him fully. The Son - who is one with the Father - who is the One and only. He became man, so that we would know God. What a mission? To not consider the consequences as significant. Considering only the goodness of the fact that we who were His enemies would become His children. That is humility. That is love. Fullness of grace and truth as described about Jesus, depicts His diety. His Godhood. Grace only God can show. And Jesus is full of it. Truth -  only God is true. This is God. This Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. Jesus is not a prophet who came from heaven to direct people to God. Nor is He a powerful being from the heavenly realms. He is the Son of God. Who became fully man to reveal God Himsel...

Dopamine rush

My nourishment comes from doing the will of God who sent me and from finishing His work. Jn:4:34 What is your driving force?  What gives you a dopamine rush?  What gives you energy to move on? For Jesus it was doing the will of the Father, who sent Him and finishing the work He was sent to do. Be it convincing an outcast woman to tell her own city, that she has found the Messiah. Be it healing fever, or blindness, or lameness. Be it sleeping in the open. Do you grade your work for God? Oh! Just because I could only wash the dishes and not give a message today doesn't mean I am not useful for the Kingdom. God doesn't categorise people by the work they do. But He sees the heart with which they do the task given to them. Am I doing it cheerfully? Or is there a list of complaints?

Duality

Come, He replied, and you will see. John:1:39 Preaching from the pulpit is easy. Do you dare to take them home? Not a pre-planned visit. Do you dare to show them your messy bedroom? Do you dare to show them, how you spend your 'me time'? Do you dare to show them how you react at home? You preach about faith from the pulpit. But at home you fret, you are frustrated, you are angry - faithlessness written all over you. You preach about trust from the lectern. But spit words of venom back home. There is worry when small things are upside down. You speak about purity from the rostrum. Whereas your home is filled with unwholesome talk. Your thoughts are as filthy. What you are in the outside, why are you not at home? This is duality. This is hypocrisy. This is what Jesus addressed as white washed tombs. Give me integrity Lord. Make me reflect you, both in the public and at home. Image credit: https://hareesh.org/blog/2016/5/25/the-dangers-of-duality-recognition-sutra-6

What do I mean when I say I'm born again

No one can see the Kingdom of God unless he is born again. Jn:3:3 Born again as told by Jesus to Nicodemus means being born of the baptism of repentance and being born of the Spirit. A new life. A new creation. The old has passed. The new has come.(v5) Born again means believing that the Son of Man, a term Jesus uses for Himself, quoting the prophet Daniel, as for the Messiah, is the only way to eternal life (v15) Born again is believing that the Father God, loved me so much, that He gave His only begotten Son as a sacrifice for my sin, that I may have eternal life (v16) Born again is loving the light more than the darkness. The darkness is normally loved by others. But light I love. It is an about turn. And as I walk, I am willing to be cleansed by the light, as my sins are more exposed and desire to walk continually in the light.

Words are not enough _ a poem

There was pain, there was rejection There was loneliness, mocking and ridicule There was suffering to the peak There was bloodshed to the highest degree. Why had He to endure this? Why on earth had He chose to go through this? It was not the nails that held Him there. But His love to you and me! He was mindful of you, When He chose to go through it all For He said, out of His own will. Not my will, but Yours. The gruesome death, the public shame The shearing pain, the flesh writhing flogs The spot, the blood, the sweat, the public disgrace Naked as He is, He lies there helpless. Peter denies Him, Cyrene comes to help All His disciples fled, the women stayed back They yelled, crucify, Joseph declares his allegiance One thief curses, one thief is with Him in paradise. Just for the sake of redeeming the lost He endured all these, because of love Sin is serious. Consequences of rebellion are real. I will bear it on my own, for their sake, He said. What love is this? What God ca...

Show off

Luke:20:45-47 The teachers of the law and Pharisees wanted to show off with their robes and long prayers. In the core, they wanted to do things which would show off their pomp and authority. They would boss over the underprivileged to exercise authority. Why do we want to do the things that we do. To be appreciated by the public? To be recognised by the public? Or is my life gospel centred? Do I do the things which I do only for the sake of Christ being glorified?  Oh, to be empty and lowly Meek and unnoticed and unknown And to God, a vessel Holy Filled with Christ, and Christ alone May Christ be all, and I be nothing His glory shines in the vessels weak May Christ be all, and I be nothing This is my hope Not I, but Christ in me - Grace worship.
