Are you still the lord of your life?
When we decided to follow Christ it was the hardest decision we have made. He is the only way for salvation and for sure He will make our life better but certainly He will not make it easier. Following Christ is the most difficult thing to do. It is easier to actually do the ways of the world wherein you can do whatever you want to do whenever you want to and be the lord of your own life. But once we gave our life in the hands of God, we became a bondservant of the Lord and we don't have the rights but priviledge. If you were taught that following Christ will make your life easier then you also received the same convincing lines but it is never that way. Jesus said in John 15:18-25, 18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.23 He who hates Me hates My Father also.24 If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, ‘They hated Me without a cause.’[c] So you see, this world hates the God that is within us, there is so much reason why this world hates us. If you feel like doubting, in trials, different, or what ever it is that mAkes you question the authenticity of Gods love and power well then my friend turning back to the world is never the way to solve it. Hold on! We don't belong to this world that's why the ruler of this world makes it very hard for us to live heaven on earth but the Good news is that Jesus already overcame the world! Rejoice over your suffering! It will absolutely ends but Gods, love, mercy and joy will never change and will never end. |
