Kepastian Kita yang Besar

Abaikan perasaan-perasaan Anda ketika Anda datang pada Kristus. Anda tidak diselamatkan oleh perasaan-perasaan Anda; Anda diselamatkan oleh Kristus. Perasaan datang dan pergi, tetapi Kristus tetap tinggal.
Yang penting hanyalah fakta-fakta bahwa Yesus Kristus mati untuk dosa-dosa Anda dan bangkit kembali; fakta bahwa jika Anda menyerahkan hidup Anda kepada-Nya, Ia telah berjanji untuk mengampuni dan menyelamatkan Anda. Alkitab berkata, “Allah telah mengaruniakan hidup kekal kepada kita dan hidup itu ada di dalam Anak-Nya. Barangsiapa memiliki Anak, ia memiliki hidup”      
 (1 Yoh. 5:11-12)
Betapa indahnya mengetahui bahwa iman kita didasarkan pada kebenaran Allah, dan bukan perasaan-perasaan kita.

The Express Image of His Person


Who being the brightness oh his glory,  and the express image of his person. . .
Hebrew 1:3 (KJV)

FROM THE FATHER’S HEART
My child, just as your son or daughter quizzes you daily with a thousand “whys” about life, so you have unlimited questions about Me. Some answers I whisper in your spirit or relay to you through My godly messengers. But no answer will ever contradict My personal letter to you through My inspired Word. What am I like? When you see Jesus, you’ve seen the Father. I am the express image of His person.

A GRATEFUL REPONSE
As a child, God, I often wondered what You were like. Did You have arms and legs like me? Did You run? Did You sleep? Did You pray? And yet You gave me a picture, an image of  Yourself, when You sent Jesus to the world. Through Jesus, I can know You.

SIMPLE TRUTH
God’s children love to hear the compliment “You look like your Father.”

Kehendak-kehendak Kita yang Keras


  Menjadi orang Kristn adalah peristiwa sekali untuk selamanya; kita bertobat dari dosa-dosa kita dan menyerahkan hidup hanya kepada Kristus saja untuk keselamatan kita. Ketika kita bertobat, Allah membawa kita “keluar dari kegelapan kepada terang-Nya yang ajabi” (1 Petrus 2:9). 
  Tetapi menjadi orang Kristen adalah pengalaman setiap hari yang berlangsung terus-menerus, prose’s seumur hidup dalam pertobatan dan iman setiap hari. Dari sanalah kehendak-kehendak kita masuk. Walaupun kita sudah bertobat dan Allah telah datang untuk hidup di dalam kita, sifat lama kita masih “hidup dan bergerak”. Kehendak-kehendak kita yang keras masih menuntut untuk menempatkan diri terlebih dahulu melebihi Kristus. 
  Tidaklah mudah membawa kehendak-kehendak kita yang keras dalam penundukan kepada Kristus. Namun bila kita melakukannya, maka kita akan seperti siput yang dikemnalikan ke dalam cangkangnya. Kita  tidak mengalami stress dan ketegangan hidup akibat tidak berdamai dengan Allah, sebaliknya kita menemukan ketentraman dari hadiratNya. 
  Akhirnya, siapa yang akan mengendalikan kehendak Anda hari ini? Anda atau Kristus? Keputusan berada di tangan Anda.

A Promised Hope


  Perhaps more than anything else human beings crave for hope. In the midst of struggles, we endure because we hope for a day that will be better. In the shadow of failure, we stand up and move forward because we hope that the lessons learned will help us in the next challenge we face. Hope makes life endurable because it keeps us looking to the future-and what we trust will be a brighter day. 
  This is significant because Jesus has just informed His men that they will abandon Him to His enemies- and the coming cross. Left with only that, their spiritual failure, when it occurs, could be suffocating. Their collapse could be terminal. It is important that they maintain a hope that stretches beyond the events of the next few hours. It is vital for them to see the bigger picture and the hope that inherit in it. For this reason, the Master doesn’t leave them with words of failure and despair. He adds to them words of hope. Notice: “But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee” (Mathew 26:32) 
  In spite of their coming desertion, Jesus gives them room for hope! All will flee, all protest Jesus’ prophecy, and eventually all do run away, but all will be reunited! Even before they fail, Christ reassures them if restoration to Him and His presence. Not only does He offer them hope of reunion, He offers them the hope of the resurrection. All this will happen, “after [He has] been raised.” The root of all hope for believers is grounded in His resurrection from the dead. This is the testimony of the Bible to us: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3. Emphasis added) 
  Hope is more than an optimistic perspective or a cheery outlook. Hope is vital or vibrant confidence in the power of God to give life that lasts forever- a hope that is secured and validated by the resurrection of Christ Himself, the first fruit of the resurrection (1 Corinthians 15). That is what makes this so important. Jesus doesn’t tell them to shake it off or to keep their chin up or to not swear it. He instead offers them substantial and significant hope-confidence that God will bring them restoration if heart and mind when Christ is raised from the dead. 

A Model of Faith



A mother’s role and influence are undeniably significant. Woman whose life is testimony to this is Jochebed. Her impact on the lives of her children shook and shaped the world of her day with a force of that ripples even to the world of our day. Such is the power of a godly mother. 
Like the ancient patriarch Job, Jochebed lived by faith. This is the point of Hebrews 11:23. “By faith” she trusted God in the midst of great danger and terrifying heartache, and the results of her faith changed the world. God’s instrument for the rescue of Israel may have been Moses, but His instrument for the rescue of the rescuer was his mother. What a pattern she sets for us!
1.    Conviction
Joechebed’s priorities were the protection, care, and training of her child. And her priorities were driven by conviction rather than convenience, by self-sacrifice rather than self-preservation, and were the result of sacrificial love and godly character.
2.    Creativity
Instead of taking the path of least resistance, instead of looking for the easy way out, Jochebed acted with thought and deliberation. As a result, she devised a creative alternative, and the danger of the situation was transformed into advantage.
3.    Confidence
Jochebed trusted God more than she feared Pharaoh. The strength of her faith conquered her fear. And it is not an overstatement to say that her faith and her resulting choices have impacted the life of virtually every person since. Everything touched by the post-Egypt 


Principles from the Life of Jochebed:
1.    Perseverance
The easy way is seldom the best or most meaningful way. Through willingness to take the road less traveled and the faithfulness to endure the end, we have the opportunity to make a difference in our world.
2.    Dependence
Life offers challenges that require us to look beyond ourselves and our own cleverness and abilities. But in the midst of those challenges we can depend upon the grace of God and trust Him with our futures and families.
3.    Consequence
When forced to the point of decision, we must be prepared to accept the consequences that may come. This is the reality of life in a fallen world, where good and right are often punished. The commitment to do right must not be reliant upon an expectation that the world will celebrate is. In most cases it will not.
4.    Furtherance
If our values and convictions are outlive us, we must invest in young hearts and lives with spiritual truth and passion. As they embrace faith in Him and mature in that faith, our hearts may well be enriched by seeing the gospel go further through them than it ever could through us.
