28 Juy 2007

27 July - 2 Chronicles 21-23; Romans 11:13-36; Psalm 22:1-18; Proverbs 20:7

There was a turn in the heart of the kings. Judah kings began their evil work and thus began to forsake God. Fortunately, in 2 Chr 22, it is the priest that did a revolt and preserve the covenant with the Lord. I was reminded that it is then the faithfulness of God that endures. Man fall away so easily. But it was God who will choose his remnant. Forgive me again, I am still like the kings of Judah - still so sinful- and at times forget about God.

The NT talked about grafting. I mentioned about this topic in one of earlier blog. Being gentiles, how are we grafted into the root of Jesse - into Jesus. We did not even remenbered the Jewess calendar - the festivals - the law etc Well your salvation seem too easy - confess with your mouth and believe with your heart - you will be saved. That's probably why we gentiles forget about the law. Did Jesus uproot the root mentioned in Romans. If yes, there is nothing to talk about grafted in - I believe the answer is no , but who cares about being grafted in. Do you know that Jews who believe in Jesus do not celebrate eastor and christmas - these are all pagan worship. Christmas probably has to do with some sun god - since we are brought our ouf Ur - why are we going back - because the ancient Romian Catholic Church do so.... Can we like Josiah who tore his cloths, repent when he found the book of law. He followed the law , 2Kings22:13 "because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book" and obeyed the words of the book of law. So did Jesus abolish the law - no I don't think so. The week he was betrayed, Jesus was celebrating passover. Jesus was a Jew - he is the root, the vine that we gentiles are to be grafted into as branches. Well, that hope that it will not be the case, when we cried out to Him, Jesus say I don't know you - (becasue you are not part of Him).

Well, if you love Jesus -John 14:5 - you will keep my commandments. What are these? Go make disciple...- that's commission not commandment. I will keep you thinking...

So much about all the theology stuff - God still love us so so much and Jesus is His salvation plan for us. Forgive me Lord and I love you. Amen.
