Now, on your way (Mark16)

 

Now, on your way

 

Jesus was resurrected and sits at the right hands of God.

We have come to salvation in the name of Jesus.

The power of the name has made us the children of God.

Our lives that have received this wonderful gift of grace must be changed. 

 

The disciples saw the resurrected Jesus with their own eyes and experienced the presence of the Holy Spirit.

They scattered into the world and preached the gospel of Jesus to the ends of the earth.

No one could stop them. 

 

Now, you have to push yourself to endless questions.

Am I fulfilling the role of light and salt of the world?

Am I silently walking the road of the calling I received from God?

Am I preaching the Gospel?

Am I living worthy of being saved?

Am I loving my life and loving my neighbor?

Am I newborn every day?

Son of God (Mark 15)

 

Save yourself! If you're really God's son, come down from the cross!

 

Jesus came to save the world. It was a great work of grace for human beings who could not escape from sin by themselves. But the Jews shouted to Jesus on the cross to save himself. Because Jesus was truly the Son of God, he had to take up the cross. The ignorant shouted that if he came down from the cross, they would believe that he was the Son of God. They really didn't know what they were doing.

 

                       "They did no know what they were doing."

 

Jesus, who overcame Satan's temptation with the word, was the Son of God, but he did not perform miracles for himself. He did not misuse his good powers. Jesus knew his own calling and he followed his own way silently at Pilate's question - ' Are you the king of the Jews?'

 

                        "Nothing could stop Jesus."  

The crucifixion was a great historical work in which the logos of God accomplished His will on this earth. Nothing could stop Jesus. The happiest people are those who quietly walk their own way. The people shouted for a miracle, but in the end they could not say anything in the face of Jesus' silence. The world has finally admitted  that Jesus is the Son of God.
