FROM DARKNESS TO THE REALMS OF GLORY

For three hours on that eventful day, anunnatural darkness covered the whole earth. Noone was to behold that unique scene whenJesus, forsaken by God Almighty bore thejudgment of our sins. He declared: “It isfinished”. God’s demands on righteousnesshave all been fully met. Salvation is granted.The believer is now at peace, in fellowship withthe Saviour. The risen Lord rejoices as He is inthe midst of the redeemed ones.

Even in the deepest sufferings the Lord Jesusremained fully in control. As the sinless One,He sensed the horror of God’s judgment in away that we shall never experience. Yet, He wasperfectly devoted to God, and in absoluteobedience accomplished the work of salvation.God’s plan in respect of the salvation of the sinfulwas thus fulfilled. The condemned sinnerattained God’s holiness. For the redemption ofmankind, the Son of God submitted Himselfvoluntarily to judgment and death, but triumphedon the third day as the risen One. “The emptytomb bears the historic testimony: “Christ isrisen from the dead” ( I Corinthians 15:20). “TheLord is risen indeed” (Luke 23:34).

Even today, millions of people across theglobe experience the resurrected Jusus Christin their personal lives as a living reality. Listeningto prayers, forgiving sins, releasing freedomfrom bondages, caring, comforting and healing,He guides and keeps us through the thorns oflife. The Saviour who declared: “I am alive forevermore” (Revelation 1:18) holds our handsand leads us into the realms of glory throughthe blessed Holy Spirit.

“Enable the congregation to bear witness.”

My dear ones in Christ,

Loving greetings to you in the sweet and wonderful counsellor’s name, theLord and Redeemer!

Golden verse of the month:“But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus

Christ by whom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world.” (Galatians6:14)

“Our formost teacher is the Holy Spirit of God”. But ‘Hermeneutics’is the technical name given to the science of interpreting scripture. ApostleSt. Peter in his second letter says that the biblical authors spoke from Godnot on their own impulse but as they were inspired by the Holy Spirit(II Pet. 1:21). It is the Holy Spirit who can interpret what he caused them tospeak. The best interpreter of every book is its author, since he aloneknows what he intended to say. So God’s book can be interpreted by theGod’s spirit, the wonderful Counsellor alone (John 14:26). As the work ofthe Holy spirit is communicating the God’s truth to the humans, we cansee in two stages. The objective stage which is “revelation”- the disclosureof the truth of the scripture. The subjective stage may be called“illumination”- the enlightenment of our minds to comprehend the truthdisclosed in Scripture. These two stages are essential. Without revelationwe have no truth to perceive; without illumination no faculty with which topercevie the truth. Here St. Paul in his Epistle to Galatians says that - “ButGod forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ bywhom the world is crucified unto me and I unto the world.” This is a Biblicaltruth which can be grasped only with the help of Holy Spirit.

The Death of Jesus Christ on the cross was the result of the interplayof various factors.

♦ It was the Heavenly Father’s plan of action for the redemption ofthe world from Sin.

♦ It was the intended ministry of the visionary Jesus Christ, whichwas fortold to his disciples.

♦ It was neither a suicide nor a well- planned murder but the sacrificeof the ‘Lamb of God’ towards the sin of the universe.

♦ It was the fulfilment of the prophesy (Isaiah 41,42, 49:1-6, 50:4-9,52:13 - 53:12)Because when the mob cried to pontius pilate, the Governor,

“Crucify him, Crucify him” pilate who represented the Roman law and truly,conveniently sentenced Jesus to be crucified even after confessing openlythrice. “I find no fault in Him”.

This statement of Apostle Paul is the reflection of the power of theCross. It is the power of close relationship with the saviour. The AlmightyGod chose the sign of suffering and shame-”the cross” as the symbol ofGlory. The cross has given new meaning and vision for life. It is aproclamation of a new relationship with confidence infaith. (Eph. 2:1,5).This cross is the symbol of the redemption of sinful world towards godspower of salvationand resurrection. St. Paul in Gelatins Chapter 6 Verse14 says that, he glorified most in the cross of our Lord and Saviour JesusChrist. An important point to highlight here is that St. Paul never said, I willglorify in Christ’s resurrection or His Ascension as he knew that the crosswas the symbol of suffering. (Colo. 1:24)

St. Paul’s letter to Gelatins in 57 A.D. is not addressed to any particularchurch, but as a “Circular letter” to a group of Churches “Unto the churchesof Galatia” On his missionary Journey that Paul’s intention was only topass through Galatia, when he was frustrated by illness, he was receivedand cared by Galations in a way he never could forget. During his absencethese people were led astray by judiaizing teachers, the enemies of Paul.So he wrote this letter when he was in Corinth with his commitment of faithin Christ. The content of the Epistle may be noted as follows:

(a) Paul and the Brother (1-2) In these chapters he establishes hisapostelic authority.

(b) Paul’s teachings to Galations in view of the misleading doctrinesof rituals in Judaism (3-4). It was not by justification of Abrahamictradition but by spiritual sonship in Christ.

(c) The life with the help of Holy Spirit (5-6). The spiritual liberty isnot a licence but the life of love. Those who live in the spirit are

Many facts and expectations asgiven in scripture make me think alot. Many a times, they make methink about my actions of yesteryears. The Bible verse ‘he whoendures to the end shall be saved’(Mathew 24:12) reveals the truththat I cannot live by my past gloryand find favour from God.

May be we have done la lot forGod’s ministry, sacrificially, with fullcommitment and zeal, in the past.Still we are called to think andexplore the present status and whatwe do now for God in the ministry.The above cited verse stresses theimportance of enduring till the end,in God’s ministry!

We all know that if we have todo God’s work in His way, then weneed to come out of our ‘Comfortzone’ and involve in ministry. If westay inside our ‘Comfort zone’ we willnot be able to do ministry effectivelyand please God.

King’s place and the associatedbenefits and the status that heenjoyed were the ‘Comfort zone’ ofNahemiah. Only when he came outof that ‘comfort zone’, God used himfor His glory (Neh 2:5).

Naaman, the army commanderof the king Syria was enjoying thepower authority and the associatedstatus and pride in his territory. Thatwas his ‘comfort zone’ (II Kings5:11,12). But God worked out amiracle only when Naaman waswilling to come out of his ‘comfort

zone’. Then he was healed!In (Mathew 19:27) Peter affirms

that all the appostles have come outof their ‘comfort zone’. They lefteverything and followed Christ.What Christ said and what Christwanted them to do was foremost forthem; and not what they wanted todo. For Hobab ‘comfort zone’ washis own land and family (Numbers10:30). But he was called to comeout of his ‘comfort zone’ He wentwith Moses to the promised land tohelp them on the way.

Doing all that they want,spending time unnecessarily withfriends succumbing to youthfullusts, like wanting to amass wealth,are the ‘comfort zone’ entities formany of our youth. But scriptureinstructs and emphasises the needfor coming out of ‘comfort zone’ toinvolve effectively in God’s ministry(II Tim.2:22-24).Where am I? Where are you? Insidethe comfort zone? Or outside theComfort zone? let us examineourselves. If God reveals that we areinside our ‘comfort zone’ we shouldwork towards coming out of our‘comfort zone’ to be effective inwhatever we do for God.

If we reexamine ourselvesdeeply and fully, one more fact maycome to our notice! Many of us, inthe past, during early days of ourministry, would have gone out of our‘comfort zone’ and done work for theLord. We might have exhibited

Where am I?Dr. Anand Samuel

the expected hard work, sacrificeand the commitment. But as timepassed by we might have becometired and may be that some aretrying to run into the ‘comfort zone’from outside.

When we try to come in to ourcomfort zone, with or without ourknowledge, we may give many

reasons to justify our actions. Butthat will only be similar to the personwho puts his hands to the ploughand looks back (Luke 9:62). Undersuch situations (Mathew 24:13)serves as a cautionary note for us.

India needs JESUS CHRIST And Jesus Christ needs YOU

Jesus Christ our Saviour andRedeemer had a gruesome deathon the Cross to save us frometernal damnation. What Jesuswent through at the Cross isunthinkable, unimaginable andbeyond human comprehension.The Cross was the most horrifyinginstrument of torture the world hadever known.

Before crucifixion Jesus withHis disciples went to a placecalled Gethsemane. He waswithdrawn from them about astones cast and kneeled downand prayed. Being in an agony Heprayed more earnestly and Hissweat was as it were great dropsof blood falling down to theground. Then cometh He to Hisdisciples and found them asleep.Jesus said, rise behold he is athand who does betray me. WhileHe yet spake Judas came andwith him a great multitude withswords and clubs from the chiefpriest, and elders of the peopleand laid hold of Jesus and led Himaway to Caiaphas, the HighPriest. They sought falsewitnesses against Jesus to putHim to death. But Jesus held Hispeace. The High Priest askedHim, Are you the Christ, the Sonof the Blessed? Jesus said I am

The Crucifixion of Christ

and ye shall see the son of Mansitting on the right hand of Powerand coming in the clouds ofHeaven. Then the High Priest renthis clothes and said, have youheard the blasphemy? And theyall condemned Him to be guilty ofdeath. And some began to spit onHim and some stroke Him with thepalm of their hands. And Peterfollowed Him afar off. A certainmaid looked upon him and said:“This man was also with him.Peter denied and said: I know Himnot. And about the space of onehour two men said the same thing.And immediately the roostercrowed.Then Peter rememberedthe word of the Lord; “Before therooster crows, you shall deny methree times.” Then Peter went outand wept bitterly.

And straight away in themorning they bound Jesus anddelivered Him to Pilate. And Pilateasked Him: Are you the king of theJews? Jesus answering said untohim, you say it. The Chief Priestaccused Him of many things. ButJesus answered nothing andPilate marveled and said: “I havefound no cause of death in him.”Now at the feast of PassoverPilate released unto them oneprisoner, whomsoever they

desired. Pilate willing to contentthe people released Barabbas, amurderer unto them and deliveredJesus when he has scourged Himto be crucified. And the solidersled Him away into the hall calledPretorium and they clothed Himwith purple and platted a crownof thorns and put it on His head.And they smote Him on the headwith a rod and spat on Him andmocked Him. And they took off thepurple robe from Him and put Hisown clothes and led Him away tocrucify Him. The horrifying trip tothe place of crucifixion, Calvarywith Jesus carrying the cross- Andit was the third hour and theycrucified Him and two thieves, oneon the right and the other on theleft. And a superscription ofaccusation was written over thecross: “This is the king of theJews”. Then said Jesus “Fatherforgive them, for they know notwhat they do.”

And when the 6th hour camethere was darkeness over thewhole land until the 9th hour andat the 9th hour Jesus cried with aloud voice and said: “It is finished”and gave up the ghost. And theweil of the temple was rent intwain from top to bottom. This

signified that the price had beenpaid with all sin atoned.

Jesus was nailed to the crossfor six full hours with the crown ofthorns on the head and His handsand feet pierced through withnails. Can you imagine the agonyJesus suffered on the cross on ourbehalf? With the word, “It isfinished” He announced thatHeaven’s door was open.

There was a man Joseph ofArimathaea, who also himselfwaited for the kingdom of God.This man went to Pilate andbegged the body of Jesus. And hetook the body of Jesus andwrapped in linen and laid the bodyof Jesus in a sepulchre that washewn in stone, where in neverman before was laid. And veryearly the first day of the week(Sunday) Mary Magdalene andMary the mother of Jamesbrought sweet spices and cameinto the sepulcher that they mightanoint Him. To their surprise theysaw the stone was rolled awayand entering inside the sepulchrethey saw an Angel and he saidunto them, you seek Jesus ofNazareth who was crucified.He isrisen, He is not here. But go yourway, tell His disciples and Peter.

WHAT A GLORIOUS HOPE WE HAVEBECAUSE JESUS IS ALIVE!

WHAT AN AWESOME GOD WE SERVE!
