I want to share with you some things which I know all of you are already familiar with…
About how Jesus laid down his life just to save us… When I was studying in Letran College, I had this friend who told me that it was just a drama.. To laid down his life and asked us afterward to accept him as our Lord but then again I asked him… “Do you have a girlfriend?” then he stared at me startled with what I just asked him.. and told me “yeah” I asked him again “Do you love her?” he laughed at me as if our conversation had touches something… he then told me “She is my life” I admit, I was really amazed with his answer, I didn’t expect that a guy like him, whom do not believe in God would be able to love a person more than his own life… I smiled and then stared at him as he drove along the south super hi-way… And then I asked him “what will you do if I told you that she’s just fooling around with some other men?”
He gave me a quick glance and told me “Jen, it’s way to impossible, she loves me and you don’t know her enough to judge her?” then I told him “you believe her, don’t you?” and then with an annoying voice he told me “I believe her” a voice full of determination, full of confidence.I told him “You don’t just believe in her, you have faith in her” and then I explained to him that faith is believing in something you didn’t see. and I told him “that’s exactly my point, you don’t know Jesus enough to assume that laying down his life to all of us is nothing but a drama, coz if you did you wouldn’t say those things to me… and if you have faith in him you will believe in his intention of saving us….”
It’s just a matter of choice, whether or not we want to put our faith in him…
And after our conversation that’s when I found out that he never experienced to be loved by any other person except his girlfriend which is of course a non-believer…
I just felt bad that we won’t be able to see each other after I left our college…
That is why I’m writing this story, I want you all to remember that the ultimate reason Jesus suffered and died is because of his LOVE to us even if often times we don’t seem to care at all..
Isn’t it pathetic? he still reaching out to those people who doesn’t believe in him…. Well I should say that’s how great his love to us, that despite our imperfection he chooses us to become his own people….
God is just waiting for us to go back home… Let’s find our ways back in his loving arms…. Isn’t it sad to be alone?
Well, thanks for spending sometime to read this…
Have a Christ centered week…
God Bless….
