Jesus Son of God

Part XXI

Lord clean our hearts and minds to make a home in us for eternity! 

    Jesus was very zealous about the House of God and the Kingdom of God. This is showing how our heart should be, all kind of worldly desires the natural inclinations and works of darkness be omitted. He is asking us to prepare ourselves in repentance when we approach him in the Holy Sacraments. 13 When the time of the Jewish Passover was near Jesus went up to Jerusalem, 14 and in the Temple he found people selling cattle and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there. 15 Making a whip out of cord, he drove them all out of the Temple, sheep and cattle as well, scattered the money changers’ coins, knocked their tables over 16 and said to the dove sellers, ‘Take all this out of here and stop using my Father’s house as a market.’ 17 Then his disciples remembered the words of scripture: I am eaten up with zeal for your house. Jn 2:13-17. Jesus is throwing away all unclean spirits that come in the way of keeping his spiritual temple holy. Our heart is the temple of the Holy Spirit. There are many evil inclinations in human nature but we have to nurture divine action in us. When we allow Jesus to work in us through His Holy Spirit, the Spirit will direct our lives ! The Advocate has been promised to us. Let us give ourselves to Him. 

  Lord clean our hearts and minds to make a home in us for your eternity!  

Jesus Son of God

Father and Son are One God, forever in eternity. Amen

  Whatever we asks in Son's name, we will get. Jesus is telling us, we did not ask anything from the Father in Jesus name. We should ask for peace and joy from Him. God is love, so we should ask him the love to love our close dear ones, our neighbours, and to love our enemies.  Luke 10:27 (NJB): He replied, ‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.’This is the second commandment Jesus taught us while he was on earth. How can we believe that Jesus and Father are one? He came from the Father, as we believe that Jesus had risen from the dead and as his promise of sending the Holy Spirit, he had to leave the earth and to be united with the Father by ascending to Heaven. So how blessed we are, now we are preparing in prayer to have the Holy Spirit. John 16: 23-28(NJB)..When that day comes, you will not ask me any questions. In all truth I tell you, anything you ask from the Father he will grant in my name. 24 Until now you have not asked anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and so your joy will be complete. 25 I have been telling you these things in veiled language. The hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled language but tell you about the Father in plain words. 26 When that day comes you will ask in my name; and I do not say that I shall pray to the Father for you, 27 because the Father himself loves you for loving me, and believing that I came from God. 28 I came from the Father and have come into the world and now I am leaving the world to go to the Father.’  Jesus came from the Father, now he is going to the Father. So we believe that Father and Son are One God forever in eternity. Amen.

Part XIX

The teachings of Jesus was new for the people those listened to him. 

  The people were amazed at the teachings of Jesus which was new for them. Mark 1:27 (NJB): The people were so astonished that they started asking one another what it all meant, saying, ‘Here is a teaching that is new, and with authority behind it: he gives orders even to unclean spirits and they obey him.’ Jesus gave orders to evil spirits with authority. He taught the people with authority. No evil could stand in front of him. Jesus never looked at the personality, or the wealth and fame of a person. He was not afraid of anyone. But he talked and behaved with them in love, patience and mercy. Mark 5:7–8 (NJB): and shouted at the top of his voice, ‘What do you want with me, Jesus, son of the Most High God? In God’s name do not torture me!’ 8 For Jesus had been saying to him, ‘Come out of the man, unclean spirit.’ The evil spirits recognize Jesus as the Son of God and plead him not to torture them. They were afraid of him. What about us ? How much faith do we have in Jesus ? How about our fear of God, our hatred of evil ?
