Daily Bread (99)

Nu exista victorie daca nu a existat un razboi inainte. Nu putea exista o Inviere daca nu ar fi existat o moarte.

Au existat multi cuceritori pe acest pamant, s-au purtat multe batalii, si intotdeauna a existat o victorie.

Cred ca cea mai mare batalie purtata a fost cea pe care a dat-o Domnul Isus pe crucea de la Golgota, prin moartea si invierea Lui a castigat viata pentru toti cei care cred in aceasta jertfa.

Toti cei care au purtat batalii la un moment dat au avut p

arte de batalia cu moartea, dar nici unul nu a putut sa o invinga.

Majoritatea bataliilot purtate au avut ca scop castigul personal, sau intr-o forma sau alta sa se castige ceva pentru sine, fie ea doar glorie eterna. Cine altcineva decat Isus a purtat o batalie asa de crancena doar de dragul altora, de dragul unor persoane viitoare, pe care nu le cunostea?... Nu e in natura umana sa fim chiar atat de altruisti, chiar daca ne face placere sa credem acest lucru.

Caesar poate a rostit el cuvintele: ”Veni, vidi, vici!” (Am venit, am vazut, am invins!) dar in mod sigur nu poate spune si cuvintele: ”Am fost, sunt si voi fi!”

Isus este Dumnezeu, dar a ales sa devina om, ca sa poarte pacatele noastre. Eternul a devenit muritor, pentru ca prin aceasta jertfa ceea ce este muritor sa poata avea parte de eternitate.

Este timpul sa fim atenti la ceea ce credem, la felul cum vad cei din jur credinta noastra, nu la religia noastra.

Am auzit o discutie in care cineva a urat: ”Cristos a inviat!” si raspunsul a fost: ”nu inca!”. Vi se pare normal pentru o tara care se considera crestina?

Cristos nu se naste si nu moare in fiecare an, ci noi doar ne amintim de aceste evenimente.

Cristos e viu!!! 

Melodia zilei:

Petra - He came, He saw, He conquered

Words and music by Bob Hartman
 

Based on Genesis 3:15,
Matthew 28:6, John 20:19,
Revelation 6:2
He came alone into the battle
He knew nobody else could face His foe
He left His throne, He left His glory
He knew nobody else could ever go
He called their bluff, He took the challenge
He came into this world to seek and save
No one could know, no one could fathom
The way to win was only through the grave
They laid Him in His tomb
They thought they'd sealed His doom
But He rose
He rose!
(Chorus)
He came, He saw, He conquered death and hell
He came, He saw, He is alive and well
He was, He is, and only He forgives
He died, He rose, He lives
He came, He saw, He conquered!
The doors were locked, they
heard Him knocking
They were afraid they would be taken, too
Familiar voice said,
"Come and follow"
Come and see the things the Lord can do
They went to where He lay
The stone was rolled away
He rose
He rose!
He came into this world
He saw humanity
He heard the SOS
He met the enemy
The enemy was conquered
The enemy was conquered!
