Season's Greetings!
I hope you had a lovely Christmas celebration. We are coming to the end of the series on who Jesus is. Last week, we learned about how Jesus is our Saviour. Today, we are going to be learning about Jesus The Way. You may have heard various people talk about the ways to God but what does Jesus (God) actually say about this?
Jesus told the disciples that He was going away and that they knew the way that led to where He was going. However, Thomas was unsure as to where Jesus was going. Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?" Jesus responded by saying: "I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me". Jesus asserted that He is the only path that must be taken to get to the Father (God).
Hello Readers & Followers,
It's another Monday. Season's greetings to you! We are continuing the series on who Jesus is. Last week, we discussed Jesus the Light of the world, you can click this link to read the previous post. Today, we are going to be learning about Jesus My Saviour.
Let us pray
Dear Lord, thank you for all the good things that you have done for me. Dear Lord, as I read your Word, please help me to understand your Word. Teach me your Word in Jesus' name. Help me to share your Word with others.
Why do you need a Saviour?
A long time ago, our first parents (Adam and Eve) disobeyed God, which made every one of their children to become sinners. However, God sent Jesus to save us from our sins and to restore our relationship with Him. God sent Jesus to be our Saviour.
Hello Readers & Followers,
How was your weekend? I hope you have had a lovely weekend. Once again, thank you for visiting Mysses Lafunky's blog. I'm glad you're here. This week's post is a continuation of my previous post. Please click here to read last week's post.
We were taught by the Holy Spirit that a self-centred life does not come from God as it is a life that focuses on one's own needs, interests, skills, gifts, and many more. Today's post will be encouraging us to embrace a Christ-centred life using some biblical principles which are centred on the Word of God. The Holy Spirit would also like us to undertake a spiritual detox of our lives.
Hello Readers & Followers,
Happy Monday! How are you doing? How was your weekend? This week's article is an opportunity for us to reflect on our lives. Are we living a self-centred or a Christ-centred life?
Someone who is self-centred is mostly concerned with his or her own wants and needs, and hardly thinks about other people's needs. In Philippians 2:4, God said, "let each of you look out not only for his or her own interests but also for the interests of others." This suggests that a life that only thinks about one's own interests is a self-centred life which does not come from God. It's time for us to reflect on how our actions or our inaction could be deemed as self-centredness. Would you like to pause and reflect?
A self-centred life becomes frustrated when things do not go their way, the individual tends to blame others for their actions. A self-centred person gives excuses as to why it is okay for them not to help others that are in need.
A self-centred life hardly has empathy for others neither do they show concerns for others. It is always about their own wants, needs and achievements. They rationalise why God's way of doing things cannot be applied in some circumstances and how their own wisdom is better. Perhaps you can see a few self-centred traits in your life? Or something you had previously done? I have good news for you! God's desire is to help, support, strengthen and guide you in living a Christ-centred life.
What does it mean to live a Christ-centred life? I will be discussing it next week Monday. Keep an eye on my blog.
If you have been blessed by this post, please share it with your friends.
Enjoy the rest of your week. See you again on Monday.
Mysses Lafunky.
