Don’t judge the book by it’s Cover April 23, 2008

My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don’t show favoritism.  (James 2:1)

• Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in.
• If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,”
• have you not discriminated among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

ya.. For me, i admit that sometimes, or may be, usually, i do judge the book by it’s cover.

Simply take an example, when you choose apples from market, wouldn’t you choose a nice and reddish apple?

As for people, a guy who wear collar shirt surely will attract me.

Today, as i read through the bible.  I realized that, i don’t like people to have favoritism.  But.. somehow..

I want to keep in mind what’s God tells me.  I am trying to live out the words of Him.

William MacDonald’s work on Lessons for Christian Living and found it insightful. He remarked “A believer should look for a local church where the Christians use the Bible as their only guide, believe all the Bible teaches about the Person and work of Christ, and try to put into practice the teachings of the New Testament about the church and it’s purpose. The believers who agree on these things have what is called in the Bible ‘fellowship’ with each other (Acts 2:42)”

My mind still surrounding by the scenic hill, garden.

The trees provided a wonderful backdrop for our picnic.

Mild sunlight, lying on the grass, breathing fresh O2.

Today i woke up, almost lunch time.

I did devotion, praying, reading the words of God.

I want to keep it as everyday duty. To keep my relationship with God.

[love]

I want to talk about love today.

John 3: 16

” For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. “

When Jesus betrayed by his disciple, He crucified, His head crowned of thorns, reed in His right hand, He was mocked.

On the cross, about the ninth hour, Jesus cried out, saying, ” My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

Only son, Jesus, crucified on the cross, but as a father, when He heard that His son crying out to Him, i can be sure that, His heart is bleeding.

Why? Why Jesus had to die?

We are sinners. God is holy. Sin and holy can’t mix together. We are His sons and daughters. He loves us. The blood of Jesus that shed on the cross is to redeem our sin.

Undefined love, Expensive love, Infinite love.

Three days after, he rose.

I love LOVE. This world lacks of Love. I found the unconditioned love here. Our heavenly father.

I hope there is more than more people share about this story and believe in Him.

Rely on Him, trust in Him.

1 John 4:8

He who does not love does not know God, for GOD IS LOVE!

LOVE -> the greatest mirror of God.

1 Corinthians 13:13

and now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love

Finally, to close this post, i want to live out my life in Him. Not just tagged the name of Christian, but live it out.

In Jesus name i pray, Amen.
