Receive The Father's Gift
Diya Gc
Description
<p>Sometimes we receive gifts that we are not to fond of. For an example a sweater that may not be "my color". Although you do not throw the sweater away, it is thrown in a place until it is needed, in the winter. God will give us gifts that we may not penetrate our limited perception. We wonder why he would give us suffering? We have been chatting about Job for quite a while now, but we shift our focus to Jesus, notice how he suffered. Some would say that he suffered in silence, I surmised that he had his moments of questions about the process. However in the midst of it he, Jesus, realized that His suffering had a greater impetus than just him being released from a place. Jesus suffered so we would not have to bear the sting of suffering! Yes, my brothers we will, heck, we must suffer, but because of Jesus' sacrifice it is nothing like it should be. Thanks be to God who gives us the VICTORY! </p> <p>Remember this, your suffering is meant to make someone else greater, while pushing to paramount position in this life!</p> <p>JOHN 18: 1-10 (NLT)</p> <p>1. After saying these things, Jesus crossed the Kidron Valley with his disciples and entered a grove of olive trees. <strong>2 </strong>Judas, the betrayer, knew this place, because Jesus had often gone there with his disciples. <strong>3 </strong>The leading priests and Pharisees had given Judas a contingent of Roman soldiers and Temple guards to accompany him. Now with blazing torches, lanterns, and weapons, they arrived at the olive grove. <strong>4 </strong>Jesus fully realized all that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward to meet them. “Who are you looking for?” he asked. <strong>5 </strong>“Jesus the Nazarene,” they replied. “I am he,” Jesus said. (Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them.) <strong>6 </strong>As Jesus said “I am he,” they all drew back and fell to the ground! <strong>7 </strong>Once more he asked them, “Who are you looking for?”
