Jesus Son of God

 

Part VII

   God has given us His own Son and He will rule the whole universe. “For a son has been born for us, a son has been given to us, and dominion has been laid on his shoulders; and this is the name he has been given, ‘Wonder-Counsellor, Mighty-God, Eternal-Father, Prince-of-Peace’ to extend his dominion in boundless peace, over the throne of David and over his kingdom to make it secure and sustain it in fair judgement and integrity. From this time onwards and for ever, the jealous love of Yahweh Sabaoth will do this.” Is 9:5-6.( NJB). The glory of God and His might contain its fullness in Jesus. God had a tremendous plan as he became incarnate in Jesus, the new Adam, to renew the first Adam he had created in His own image and likeness. God himself came down from Heaven to destroy the sin of our fallen nature. Our Saviour is Jesus, the Son of God, the Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. He brings salvation to the whole world by giving his life for us. In this Christmas season, a reflection from St Pope Leo the Great , is very appropriate:”   God’s son did not disdain to become a baby. Although with the passing of years he moved from infancy to maturity, and although with the triumph of his passion and resurrection all the actions of humility which he undertook for us were finished, still today’s festival renews for us the holy childhood of Jesus born of the Virgin Mary. In adoring the birth of our Saviour, we find we are celebrating the commencement of our own life, for the birth of Christ is the source of life for Christian folk, and the birthday of the Head is the birthday of the body.“ The Christmas season is going to end by today. It was a beautiful season and we enjoyed it with great pleasure and joy. Let us pray to the Heavenly Father to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus that we may overcome all the dangers of evil.

Part VI

The Young woman will give birth to son whom she will call Immanuel

   Jesus is the One whom Isaiah proclaimed of his coming. God gave the sign of His incarnation in the Virgin Mary: “The God will give you a sign in any case: It is this: the young woman is with child and will give birth to son whom she will call Immanuel.” Is. 7: 14. Who can neglect His Words; and His word became flesh in this young unspotted virgin girl with full of grace. God gave us the most precious gift; His only Son for us to make us His sons and daughters and he lived in our midst to know him closely. But when we become spiritual persons, we start seeing the things spiritually. We experience Jesus in us and of course he will start living in us. The more we submit to him in the way of holiness and in obedience we will experience the presence of him in all the path of our daily life. This will makes us experience the peace and joy in our life and grow in the grace. Then the soul will not do anything without asking her spouse and this is the way spiritual growth she will experience. The Love of God will grow this way by listening Him and obey Him. “Anyone who loves me will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we shall come to him and make a home in him.” Jon. 14: 23. The Holy trinity will make a home in her when she keeps His Word. The Word is Jesus, In the beginning was the Word: the Word was with God and the Word was God Jn. 1:1. The faith in Son of God will gradually grow this way and that’s what she says: “Without my knowledge;and my imagination kept my Lord let me to sit beside Him in the chariot” Song of Songs. 6: 12. She doesn't know how the Lord is guiding her, how the Holy Spirit will accompany her. The soul will travel with Him in all green pastures of the Heavenly Valleys. She will drink the Living Water from His ocean of love. "Jesus replied to her: If you only knew what God is offering and who it is that is saying to you, ‘Give me something to drink,’ you would have been the one to ask, and he would have given you living water." Jn 4: 10.  Jesus told this mystery of Living Water to the Samaritan woman. The soul will seek only her Master’s will as she wants to share all His goodness in Him. She will never feel lonely and wants stay with him without any end of time. The soul will love His commandments and she will obey it without fail.
