“For me, Jesus is the human face of God!”
Tag: Jesus Christ
Out of dark times spring light and life
How many of us experience those moments of lost hope, destroyed vision and broken dreams, both in our personal lives and our communities?
Christianity declares that Jesus, the one who died on the cross, was God dwelling among us; God in the flesh.
This means that in his experience of the cross, we had the creator of the universe
experiencing our humanity.
Through Jesus we see God,who has climbed into the dark pit with us. God seen in the Easter story is the one who knows and experiences our dark moments; and takes them on as His own.
When others let us down the hope present in the Easter story still stands. It’s a hope that stands for eternity. It’s a hope that stands for eternity no mattewhat happens in our city or the world around us.
We live with the belief that hope is always present, even when the darkness seems overwhelming. We may not always live up to the ideal, but every Easter we’re called back to that hope and reminded about what God is up to as seen in the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ.

A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
Just sharing a few thoughts from my notes (rather indecipherable)…
as inspired by a sermon from Bobby Schuller on the Hour of Power
Sunday 13 Feb
enjoy and be inspired

Jesus came into the world to show us what God is like. Jesus reveals what God, The Father is like… and YOU can (and choose to) reveal (in society’s eyes) what Jesus is like. That’s His expectation. You represent Jesus…today.
Jesus had a uniquely close and intimate relationship with God, the Father
(“I am what God is like”)
see Matthew 11: 25-30 *
* a defining verse in Jesus’ ministry (together with John 3:16,17)
“You are the light of the world… Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
– Matthew 5: 14-16 (NKJV)
HOW do you do that?
In other words, how to live your life by following the example of Jesus Christ?
* help others
* help heal and comfort the wounded of society and our own wounds will be healed
* be hospitable and kind
* make people feel included and that they belong somewhere
* listen to peoples concerns and worries – really care
* remember, it’s not your achievements that count, but the difference you make in people’s lives
* learn and grow (continually) along life’s journey
“Giant strides start with small steps”
Just do what is right and (like a moth) be drawn to that light
“Love guides us into holiness.”
You can be a light shining in the darkness of the world.
Shine your own bright light on humanity!

“The Christian’s Vital Breath”
“This, then, is how you should pray:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name…”
Matthew 6:9
We are only one person in about seven billion people in the world, and so we wonder how it is possible God hears all our prayers. Does what we want to pray about have to be of vital importance to us or can it be of mediocre or even of less importance? Does God prioritize in who He answers and what He answers? This week, Charles Price gives an in depth exposition on the Lord’s Prayer, which brings together a series of relationships that are part and parcel of the Christian life. And within these relationships, we find the answers.

Submitter’s Note:
Charles is my favourite TV preacher with his “practical, relevant” sermons (and which we can choose to apply in our own lives).
“For me, Jesus is the human face of God…and my pathway (connection) to that Ultimate Source, The Ground of All Being”
“Jesus Christ makes God real to me.”

In my distress I called to the Lord;
I cried to my God for help.
From his temple he heard my voice;
my cry came before him, into his ears.
