Jesus Through What He speaks to us? - Devotion 9/9/2009

Firstly, through his birth, through his death, through his totality, He speaks to us. Through whole reality of Jesus life, from his birth to his death. God through the existence of Jesus Christ birth, content speak to us. No one is like him to be given birth in this manner. Holy spirit causes Mary to concieved and He was borned. And this one to be borned, is called the Holy One of God. He is the son of God, is Jesus. He is the one who save his own people from sin. And through the birth and the death of Christ Jesus God speak to us.
Second, God through the conduct and the ministry of Christ Jesus God speak to us. That's why Jesus say : "if it wasn't God who send me, then i will not do all this things. What i speak and what i conduct, is according to what God desire me to do and i did." So the word that Jesus said is also the message God speak to mankind. And also his ministry, is also the virtue of God want to manifest through him to us. When you look at Jesus, you know what is the perfection of mankind. No one has ever been like Jesus. He was scolded but never scolded back. He was threatened but never threatened back. When he was nailed of the cross, he did not curse mankind but he said: "Father, forgive them. For they do not know what they did." Down in the history there was not a single person who would pray for the enemies. Confucious say for good to return good and also for righteousness to return the bad. If people are good to you, be good to them. If people are no good to you be just to them. Lao Zhi is more advanced. Not with justness but return good to bad. When people are no good to you, you need to be good to them. But there is no one like Jesus. You want to love your enemies. Those who prosecuted you, pray for them. When people nailed him on the cross, Jesus say: "Father, forgive them." This type of things, this kind of love, not even discussed in the Greek philosophy. There is a movie called troy. There is one called Paris love the queen of another nation. He captured this Helen from that nation. Because of his love, he destroyed his city. This Greek's Love, why love. Because i love you, i want to get you. This is what human know about love. But what bible says about love? Pray for your enemies, sacrifise yourself so that people could be helped. Jesus was killed, then people will then know what is love. Confucious never said, Mentious doesn't know, Lao Zhi never said. There is a love of God in mankind. God through the cross speak to human kind.
There is a vacuum of love when Jesus was nailed on the cross. You will ask doesn't Mary love Jesus. But there sin made Jesus die on the cross. When they cry, Jesus said: "Don't cry for me, but for your and your daughter's sin." Therefore, Jesus upen the cross said: "My God, My God, why have thy forgotten me?" Why God cover His eyes? That was the only moment where that is the only vacuum of love. Jesus have to lonely to walk through the shadow of death.
