As the christian calendar marks today as the Holy Thursday with several significant occasions, it was the official starting of the passion of Christ when he was betrayed into the hands of those who wanted him to be killed.
Christ knew what was going to happen to him and felt the intense burden and heartache that he had on his shoulder when he prayed to Heavenly Father in Gethsemane. If we were to go back to that particularly time, knowing that he is Christ...what would be our reaction? Run away or fight for him? It was not for us to decide.
Let us all, christians (and non-christians) reflect on the beginning of this historical event that transcended across our physical realm of time and matter.
Let us reflect on the creator of heaven and earth that call us his friends on this special night:
WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
Now, let us focus our spirit and mind on Christ who loved us so much...
TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS

*This series of blog is specially dedicated to people of all faiths (including atheist, agnostics), as all us learn about each others' different faith and so at the end of the day, we respect other people's choice without being judgemental and narrow-minded.
*However, this blog is not for discussion or debate forum for inter-faith matters.
* I just wanted people to know what Christianity is all about, just as how much I am learning about others' faith and thus respecting their belief.
* Hope all is greatly inspired and to christians, hope you find strength in your faith again.

Joshua,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the wonderful reminder, of Christ's love and sacrifice for us. Thank you also for reminding me to Turn my eyes to Jesus, and Trust him, not just in AA, but in other areas of my life as well. I needed to hear this today.
